This buyer's guide explains what kinds of Huarache are available for purchase, how to spot a fake pair and how to score the cheapest possible Huarache deals.

Nike Huarache Sneaker Classic

Nike's Huarache trainers are one of Nike's most iconic creations. As most people know, Nike is a legendary footwear company based out of Beaverton, Oregon, who have become the world's leading manufacturer of sporting goods since its founding in the 1960s.

The Huarache line was designed by Tinker Hatfield (also the designer behind the Nike Air trainers) and launched in 1991. Its name and design elements originate from huaraches, a type of sandals worn by Native Americans, Mexicans and some Californians.

Shoes from the Huarache collection instantly gained a huge popularity among professional athletes and was embraced by superstars of the time like Michael Johnson. It soon became accepted more widely by anyone that saught supreme levels of comfort in sneakers.

Since then, Nike has re-released the Huarache sneakers in various forms and we will further cover all the variety. The core, as well as its popularity, remained the same throughout the times and continued to be loved by elite sports professionals (such as NBA legend Kobe Bryant) and millions of people around the world.

What Are Nike Huaraches Designed For?

Nike Huaraches were designed to offer something totally new. Its creator Tinker Hatfield saw that conventional trainers were neither enough nor capable of being adapted to the shape of people's feet. So, he engineered a new kind of shoes that “hug” the wearer's foot (as Nike put it).

This made Huaraches ideal for long jogging sessions or walking, especially with the use of fabrics like neoprene to improve heat transfer. This fabric marks another innovative approach of the Huaraches.

Today's Huaraches not only kept these sporty features but also refined the uppers in order to make heat transport even more efficient. Sneakers have become more than just their functionality: they form your style as one part of the integral fashion. For this reason, nowadays, you can even get a custom-made pair of Huaraches.

How Do Nike Huaraches Fit?

If you are planning on buying a pair of shiny new Nike Huaraches, you need to find a pair that fits you properly. like all the other shoe companies, Nike has its own idiosyncrasies when it comes to sizes, so it's worth taking a second look when choosing your shoe size online.

The general consensus is that Nike Huaraches fit smaller compared to other trainers. So, if you usually take a size 8, it's probably a good idea to buy a size 9 instead. It's not just length that matters here, width does too. Huarache buyers often have to exchange their shoes due to its narrow fit but if you go up a half or full size bigger, you should be fine.

Another good idea is to head to a nearby shoe store like JD Sports or Footlocker, where you can try on a pair of Nike Huaraches. Give them a try, give them a few steps and feel them. Don't be pressured to make a purchase on the spot. Just find a size that fits you, then head home and buy online for cheaper.

Make Sure You Have an Authentic Pair of Huaraches

Huaraches are a designer's classics, which also unfortunately means that millions of counterfeits exist. It's actually not uncommon to order a pair online only to find that you got a fake pair. Since it is not always easy to tell the shoes are a counterfeit, here are some guidelines that will help you make the right call.

First, check the small print. There should be a patent number and date of manufacture on the tongue label inside your shoes. There should also be a style number which reads 6 digits, a dash and then 3 more digits. That's common to all Nikes and it's always there. If not, you've probably bought a fake pair.

Aside from that, always inspect your Huaraches for imperfections in the stitching or details. Nike makes sure its premium trainers are almost always flawless and a new pair shouldn't have any clear flaws.
