Blowfish Laplaya – Centuries-Old Huarache Design on Modern Jesus Sandals

Just to get the definition out of the way, these are huaraches (hur-ah-chees):

Women’s leather huarache sandals

Huaraches are a type of a Mexican sandal, identified by their intricate weaving and distinct weaving pattern. They have been around for over 600 years, dating way back to the pre-Columbian era.

Since they reached the height of their popularity in the 1950s, huaraches have undergone a lot of makeovers and facelifts. Big brand names and couture labels all have been taken by the lowly huarache, and have turned the simple peasant sandal into everything from high-heeled shoes, to strappy boots, to basketball sneakers.

But of course, over here at JesusSandal, we think that less is more. That’s why the simple Tela sandals from Softspot were our choice for huarache sandals, and so are these Blowfish Laplaya Sandals:

Don’t they look really soft? The straps are made of the softest suede and they stretch and mold to your feet as you use them. The Mexican huarache weaving is more than just a design - it makes the entire sandal stronger and more durable. These sandals will definitely last a lifetime and because of their simple centuries-old design, they will always be a classic piece.

Take a look into your closet and we bet you can find something huarache-inspired in there. If not, these Blowfish Laplaya Sandals will be a great addition to your wardrobe.
