Yuketen Alejandro Huarache Sandal in Multi

I sent mine back because they fit very strangely. With my feet, at least, if I size down to the point my toes are getting crammed, the back of the shoe still can't grip on my heel, and it pops out. I don't understand how anyone can wear these without their heel popping out with every step. I didn't want to wear them long enough to fully break in, as I predicted a painful future. Perhaps bending the sole back and forth would have helped the shoe bend easier as I step? The rubber sole felt maybe too stiff for that.

I own a different brand of Huaraches, made at the same factory in Mexico that fit much better because the heel strip is detached from the sole. This allows the back of the shoe to stay around your heel as you bend your foot, without the sole keeping it tied down.

I will say that they're beautifully crafted.
