Farmer Patricio Putting on His Huaraches

While in the Copper Canyon this year, I got photos of my friend Patricio tieing his huaraches.

He was one of the few Tarahumara who ran the race with pants on instead of the traditional running costume.

I love tarahumaras! they are so wise, so humble and so strong..

@boysselle I doubt they cost much. They were most likely made from old thrown away tires and some string. Heck, you can make your own at home out of scrap leather.

@reaper66689 - I bet you paid good $ for them. These people are way better than us! We Americans are so arrogant, lazy and dependable to everything. we should learn from them.

They should make them and sell them to the cities... :D a good way to make some money

@edde8282 nike has a "terra humara" , but it's an actual trail shoe which is kind of disrespectful of the name if you ask me.
