The Tarahumara, or Raramuri, are Mexican Copper Canyon Indians who have preserved their culture and way of life, one aspect of which is their passion for running. These Tarahumara started to compete and win many of the toughest U.S. ultramarathons in the early 1990’s, surprising the running world, mainly due to the fact that they elected to wear handmade sandals and cotton trousers. Following their amazing success, many European and American brands developed and launched Tarahumara inspired running sandals. However, none of them had been made by artisans and Tarahumara runners - until now!
