Which sizing system do you know?

What size do you normally wear?

Your Kwarachi size
Marked on your huaraches:
½ Half size: we don't make half sizes. We recommend sizing down — natural leather stretches and molds to your foot.
Your recommended size will appear here.

Now you know your size. Here's what we make.

Every pair is cut, woven and finished by hand in Mexico. The leather is genuine and often in its natural vaqueta tone, so no two pairs are ever exactly alike.

Full size chart

The Mexican size roughly equals your foot length in centimeters. Note: the women's conversion is not the same as the men's.

Kids' sizing varies more between brands — always rely on foot length in cm.

How to measure your foot

All you need is a sheet of paper, a wall, and a ruler. Takes 1 minute.

1
Place a sheet of paper on the floor, against a wall.
2
Stand on the paper with your heel touching the wall.
3
Mark the tip of your longest toe with a pencil.
4
Measure in centimeters from the wall's edge to the mark.
5
That measurement in cm ≈ your Mexican size. If it falls between two sizes, choose the smaller one — the leather gives.
Tip: measure in the afternoon (feet are a bit larger then), measure both feet, and use the longer measurement. For kids it's the opposite: round up and leave half a centimeter of growing room.

Before you order

MX

They arrive marked in Mexican size

Each pair is handcrafted in Mexico and arrives stamped with the Mexican size — often abbreviated. A pair sized MX 28 may simply be marked "8". This is not a mistake: it's the correct size.

½

No half sizes: size down only if you're between two

We don't make half sizes. If you wear a half size (e.g. US 10.5) choose the smaller one (US 10), and if you measure right between two sizes, order the smaller one: the leather gives about half a size in the first two weeks. That said, if you wear an exact whole size, order your usual one — don't size down just "because the leather stretches".

The women's conversion is different

In men's, MX 27 is US 9. In women's, MX 27 is US 10. Use the Women tab in the chart above — ordering with the men's conversion leaves you a full size too big.

Standard last

Our huaraches have a standard, slightly snug cut, designed so the leather stretches naturally over time. If you have a very wide foot, message us before ordering and we'll guide you.
