Huarache sandals have been popular for decades, but their history goes back hundreds of years, long before Europeans ever set foot in the Mexican landmass. Their common name is derived from the word “kwarachi,” which is the word that the Purépecha people of Michoacán use for “sandal.”

The appearance and function of Huarache sandals have lasted for centuries, and in today’s world, people throughout the US and Mexico mostly wear them to take advantage of a convenient mix of comfort, durability, and style.

The History of Huarache Sandals

Originally, Huarache sandals were created to allow ancient Mexican farmers the ability to protect their feet while tending to crops. By weaving pieces of hide or leather together and attaching them to a leather sole, farmers were able to use these sandals to their advantage, and over time, their popularity grew. Now, they’re not only functional, but fashionable, and still widely worn throughout Mexico and the US.

Things To Consider When Choosing Mexican Huarache Sandals

Huarache sandals are not just any type of shoe, and as such, there are several things to think about when choosing a brand of Mexican Huaraches women’s sandals.

The history

It’s important to respect the long history of the Huarache sandal when shopping for a pair. As such, it’s a better, more respectful idea to purchase shoes that are hand-made by artisans rather than mass-produced in a factory. Admiring the rich cultural significance of Huarache sandals is better done when buying them from an authentic source.

Traditional Huarache sandals are hand-made from woven leather strips, so if wearers are seeking authentic shoes, it’s important to purchase hand-made women’s Huarache flats.

The materials

It’s probably easy to find cheap women’s Huaraches online or at a physical store. However, it’s important to remember that cheap does not mean good. Huarache sandals made by hand from high quality, natural materials are going to last much longer than synthetic material used in mass production.

The style

Despite being sandals, Huarache shoes are versatile and come in a variety of different styles. Wearers should consider the main function that the shoes will serve before choosing a style. For example, if the wearer needs to wear closed-toe shoes at work, Maya-style, gladiators, mules, Baja-style, boots, or fisherman-style Huaraches would be a great choice.

Disadvantages of Huarache Sandals

Because authentic Huarache sandals are made out of leather strips, they’re going to last for a significant length of time when they’re properly cared for. Though genuine leather shoes are very high in quality, there are a few things to consider before choosing a Huarache shoe that some wearers may consider to be disadvantages.

  • The Price: Genuine leather Huarache shoes are higher in price than synthetic look-alike sandals.
  • The Stiffness: Genuine leather is somewhat stiff to wear at first and new Huaraches women’s shoes need to be “broken in” before the leather relaxes.
  • The Care: Huarache sandals don’t require a lot of maintenance, but wearers should try to avoid getting their sandals wet. This way, the leather will not weaken.
