My tutorial for Huarache-type sandals with cork soles is the most popular post on my blog with thousands of visitors – yay! – thank you all! 😀 Today I made another Huarache-type shoe: Huarache bathing shoes with flip-flops and polypropylene cord.

Polypropylene is perfect for bathing shoes because it doesn’t absorb water, it’s lightweight and the color doesn’t bleed when it gets wet in contrast to nylon. I also use polypropylene cord to make dog leashes.

You’ll need:

• flip-flops
• polypropylene cord
• scissor

Cut off the plastic straps. Tie an overhand knot on one end of the cord, and thread the cord through the three holes like here: How to tie Huarache Sandals. And your DIY bathing shoes are finished. Wasn’t that quick and easy? 😀 Here you’ll find my tutorial for Edwardian or 1920s bathing shoes.
