huaraches
Mexican leather sandals
Huaraches are traditional Mexican sandals made of woven leather strips on a leather sole.
The open weave allows airflow while protecting the foot.
The style has influenced casual footwear globally: She packed her huaraches for the beach trip.
In Mexican cuisine, a huarache is also an oblong masa flatbread topped with beans, meat, and salsa—named for its sandal-like shape.
