Handmade in Mexico, the Bocado combines the elegance of a loafer with craftsmanship of traditional huarache making. These are 100% vegetable-tanned leather using only natural ingredients such as tree bark and plants—crafted intentionally for a “naked” finish. For an elevated design, these include a solid brass horse bit across the top front with an almond toe shape. The crepe sole is perfected for comfort and slip-resistant to boot. So if your final destination is walking distance, feel free to mosey.

About Chamula
Huaraches are kind of like Champagne because 1) they’re light and refreshing on a hot day, and 2) they’re only real huaraches if they’re made in a specific way passed down for generations. Chamula Huaraches, thankfully, are the real deal. They’re handmade and handwoven from durable, veg-tanned leathers in Michoacán, Mexico—the same region where Native Mexicans have been weaving leather huaraches since pre-Columbian times. Worn by farm workers for centuries because of their durability and breezy comfort in the heat, they eventually spread around the globe on the feet of surfers in the 1960s. If you’re looking for authentic, artisan-crafted huaraches—Chamulas are it.
