Woven sandals by another name

What’s Cracking Good — Woven sandals

Back in the day, my dad wore a pair of huarache sandals he got in Mexico, which he pronounced “hur-AH-cheese.”

I saw someone wearing them not so long ago and was taken aback by the nostalgia, “OH hur-AH-cheese are back!”

My Cuban friend cringed and offered a less butchered version of the word. Now, I just call them woven sandals. Woven sandal-inspired styles are everywhere this spring. Here are a few:
