• Smell and flex the sole: real vegetable-tanned leather vs plastic-backed imitations — genuine pairs darken and mold to your foot
• Traditional tire-sole ('llanta') huaraches last years; expect to pay MX$350-700 for fully hand-woven leather
• Sized on Mexican scale (MX 26 ≈ US men's 8) — always try on, widths run generous
