Early Burras from Uruapan
Posted: June 9, 2015 Filed under: Uncategorized | Tags: Huaraches 4 CommentsI have posted about the traditional Mexican Burra Footwear already a couple of times on this blog and consider Burras another fascinating area of footwear research. These Burras I was lucky to photograph also at the Bata Museum in Toronto, their origins are from the 1950’s Uruapan area of Mexico. Although I have never seen a similar Burra design during my research in Mexico.

Now that is some THICK leather.
Reblogged this on Paleotool's Weblog and commented:
Some very thick leather shoes. They would last a remarkably long time under the worst conditions.
Nice! These shoes have also a front ‘aero’ window! 🙂
Yes, it gets hot in Mexico, especially when working outside in the sun.
