Love this look! I bought a pair much like the ones on the bottom right corner but they did not have enough support. I have always loved the interesting texture that they add to an outfit. I wonder if they will be out soon although I usually see some version around every year.

I love them! Especially the Turquiose pair.

I just found some huarache platform sandals that I am in love with- comfortable, high heeled, and I love the look. I don’t think I can wear them with skirts or dresses- they look a little too young. But I love them with jeans- takes me back to the 70’s!

Thank you for this post. I’ve loved the comfort and textured look of this style, especially wedges, and find that if the straps are soft leather, they stretch some and adjust to the foot.
I have 2 older pair of wedges on their third summer that aren’t as high as the top left orange example in black (Nuture with tan jute wedge) and in a tan that’s close to nude (Aerosoles). I wear them alot with jeans, clamdiggers and sometimes with skirts. The tan ones are 8 hour shoes.

I would definitely try these. Love the wedges and the brown flat sandals.

Definitely not my cup of tea, although I like the pair shown on the first picture. The rest are too casual for my style…

I love this style and always will because I grew up close to the Mexican border and wore the original style from Mexico for years. The story goes, they used old tire rubber for the soles. I loved those sandalls. They were totally flat and loose so the straps didn’t hurt. I wore them kind of loose and sloppy. I know it sounds terrible, but that is where I come from.

I’ve got a pair similar to the Miss Sixty ones you’ve shown here by … wait for it … Dr. Scholl’s! Love ‘em to pieces.

Sal- mine are Dr. Scholl’s too! I bet we have the same shoe. Now I have to post a picture. I am crazy in love with these shoes and going to buy some more jeans just so I have something long enough for them!

I love these sandals…I have a very earthy/bohemian style and these are great. I think the many straps are very cute and makes the sandal have an “edge”…I still need to find another pair.

Nah, I’ll pass. They are cute, just not my style

My sister has the Sam Edelman Gates ones in black and they are amazing looking on her!

I loved huraches in the 80s/early90s! But I like the updated ones better. I didn’t know they were coming back. I guess I’m a bit boho.

What’s interesting to me about this post is this thought:
“They will work well if you have an earthy, bohemian and informal edge to your style. That’s not my look, which is why they’re not for me.” — !

I find I am drawn to so many different styles, partly from being exposed to persuasive styling in magazines/stores, or admiring how something looks on another person… and i don’t always have the clearest picture of what is ‘me’ and what isn’t. I suspect having that kind of clarity makes a person much better at shopping and building a good, functional wardrobe…

I used to have sandals with car tyres as soles too San!!! Alas the straps on them were not comfortable at all, despite being leather!!!

starry makes a good point, i often struggle with passing up those trends that truly aren’t “me”, ie. i might go ga-ga for something on the rack, but then it’ll end up sitting in my closet because it doesn’t work with my personal style. i was loving the huarache trend until i actually tried them on and it just felt way too “boho” …maybe the heels you showed above would work, but the flats, nope.

San, you crack me up.

Starry and BB, those are blog post worth thoughts. There is a fine line between trying something new and establishing whether it’s “you”. How do you know? Also, you can love something on others but it’s just not your look, or doesn’t work with your body type. We’ll explore this further.

Unfortunately, I run into the same problem with most huaraches that I do with gladiators–the thin straps hurt my feet. Although I have found comfortable huarache-style sandals in the past, so it’s possible I could wear this style again if I find the right pair. I love the blue ones! Those could probably work for me because the straps are thicker. They would look great with jeans.
