Greek Sandals vs. Huaraches: Which Leather Sandal Is Right for You?

Greek Sandals vs. Huaraches: Which Leather Sandal Is Right for You?

Quick answer: Greek sandals have thin leather straps and a flat leather sole — light and elegant. Huaraches have woven leather uppers and usually rubber soles — more coverage and grip for long walks.

Greek sandals

Minimal straps and a thin sole. Try our Athena natural leather sandals.

Huaraches

A woven upper holds the foot well. See our women's huaraches and men's huaraches.

Which to choose

For dinners and light wear, Greek sandals; for long city walks and travel, huaraches.

Frequently asked questions

Do huaraches stretch?

Yes, the woven leather relaxes noticeably with wear — buy them snug.

Can Greek sandals be resoled?

Many can; ask a cobbler to add a thin rubber layer for grip.
