Incredibly well made. Original huaraches.

The guy that sells those has the most extensive Huaraches blog on the internet: https://huaracheblog.wordpress.com

[bbours]

Yes! His effort is pretty commendable. He's obsessed.

Give that guy some vibram soles and some sort of heavy tech fabric, Urban Techwear itself would shit itself.

Keep those creative juices flowing!

 

For years I've been trying to promote, with the hopes of elevating this cool footwear craft. I hope that some of your suggestions could inspire the Huarache craftsmen to create some new designs.

 

A few Huarache Artisans already make interesting and unusual designs, although mostly just for themselves and the love of the craft. Don't forget that they never went to design school, they were put to work making traditional designs. And their low income generally doesn't afford them much research and development time. Nor do they have much access to the web and the mostly english fashion blogs.

 

As for me I'm old school..Although I appreciate the use of molded soles, thick cordura, or canvas and snap buckles..in a kind of Y3 meets G-Star flavor..

 

I'm also a big leather fan, especially as traditional Huarache leather darkens with age, so its almost like the Huaraches have a life of their own.

 

And nothing beats the glow of Huaraches made with freshly veg tanned leather. Admitedly its very rare to come across such a shoe given the time it takes to ship the fresh leather to a factory and then to retail. But the richness of freshly vegetable tanned leather is almost like comparing a just grilled juicy steak, to a dried up cold one. Imagine a world where no one had ever seen a glistening freshly grilled steak?

 

Thanks for your kind words and support. Long live healthy obsessions!

Whow, you're on Sufu?!

Are you based in Mexico?

[74FDC]

Sure..Based mostly in Michoacan, Mexico..I'm a regular footwear designer..with my list of favorite websites, forums and blogs to scroll through daily, weekly and monthly...curious like everyone else about designs and trends, new and old...and where culture is heading.

p. sick, relevant to huarache talk

[hate]

Does someone know where I can purchase all-black chaco Z1 sandals? The ones on their website have their stupid logo on the side of the sole and I dont really like this! If I make the with the customize editor on the site they seem to be without it. Any help would be appreciated.

[t-a]

I'd say just customize them if they have them without it, or buy some Teva origionals and cut off the logo if looking to save money.

I got a pair and swear by them. Best weird purchase in a while. They handled some serious rock scrambling and never slipped up.

i kinda wanted the nike x fragment suede benassi slides but the suede looked too rough and unrefined IRL

(totally not as beautiful as the concept pics)
