Handwoven Artisan Sandals

SOLS Offers Sustainably Sourced, Handwoven Huaraches Sandals

— July 15, 2021 — Fashion
SOLS is a sustainable shoe brand that designs handwoven huaraches sandals in a variety of fashion-forward yet classic styles. Founded by two Mexican-American sisters, SOLS is rooted in culture to celebrate and empower Mexican tradition and artisans. Every sandal purchase provides fair-trade wages to support artisan families.

A featured style from the female-owned brand is the Ana sandal. Handcrafted from vegetable-tanned leather, the shoe boasts memory foam insoles for maximum comfort and odor elimination. In addition, the shoe's timeless design molds to the wearer's foot over time due to the elasticity of the leather. Another notable item from SOLS' range is the Anita Mule. Modeled after the classic mule, the closed-toed shoe boasts an open back for the user to slip it on or off easily.
