If you haven’t ventured to this site before, now is a good time for the journey because there is a fascinating video to watch. There is so much ingenuity and beauty to marvel at on this site, enjoy!
I like these sandals because they are one of the few that are simple enough so I can figure out how they are made! I’ve got to make a pair, it looks like the straps are made with one loooong thong, starting with the three straps across the ball of the foot – the widest one first – so these straps could be adjustable – than crossing back around the heel (where are the two ends tied together?) after first making a quick trip down into two holes alongside the heel to secure it there…lovely!
Here’s another pair I’d like to duplicate:
Of course “barefoot sandals” originated in Mexico, so there’s lots of photos of these really sexy sandals on the site (why do cords that go around and around the ankle look so sensuous? I guess I can imagine the answer…how did I lose a book I had years ago, The Erotic Life of the Shoe, I don’t see it anywhere on google – darn, I could come up with lots of blog posts using that book!) Anyhow, I love the way the sandal straps are tied in this video – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gFsLeTtdoKc I just ordered a pair of these hemp laces so I will soon know how they feel.
I have had this calendar photo on my wall for years, intrigued by the sandals because I couldn’t figure out how they were tied with just one thong..after the sandals of the Tumuhumara became popular I realized they were similar, but the pair on my guy had a leather heel piece. These are also highlighted on huaracheblog, I am so grateful for such an informative site.
Finally, last spring I gasped upon seeing these huaraches (in a photo of course) coming down a Dolce e Gabbana runway!
And, there is a reference to these on huarache blog, and an opportunity to look more closely at the variety of weaving patterns in them. Do any of you want to drop everything and dedicate your life to learning to make these?!
