Huaraches de Rio Verde – The Winged Huaraches
Posted: December 5, 2017 Filed under: Huarache Culture, Huarache History, Huarache Sandals, Rare Huaraches 4 CommentsThe traditional Huaraches from Rio Verde in San Luis Potosi are constructed/lasted in an interesting way.
The upper is made in 2 pieces which are individually nailed flat between the insole and outsole.
Once the Huaraches look like a sole with wings, the 2 flat vegetable tanned leather sides are wet and then cinched together with laces to form around the last.
And, where can these huraches be purchased? Thanks.

You will have to travel to the town of Rio Verde, or San Luis Potosi in San Luis Potosi State of Mexico. Maybe you can find them on ebay.
