For a while they sat on shelves and Nike eventually halted production on the model and shifted budget elsewhere. The silhouette had actually garnered a new and slightly-bad reputation according to many, with the legendary status tarnished by how mainstream they had become.

I find as a general rule that the Nike Air Huaraches fit a little tight. Due to the neoprene sock liner I would always take . 5 of a size up from my usual Nike size, otherwise they can be a struggle to get on and your toes can feel like they're about to pop out the end.

Sizing and fit: To my knowledge, the Nike Air Huarache has always fit the same. I would recommend sizing up as it can feel a little tight if you opt for your true size. Comfort: The Nike Air Huarache is exceptionally comfortable – they're the type of shoes you can wear all day, every day.

Huaraches are a tight fit because of the strap at the back, more so than the length of the shoe. If you measured the length it would probably be the right size it says, but the plastic strap at the back doesn't really stretch that much and that's why they run smaller.
