If you want to really splash out on your loved one, these huichol beaded high heels are quite the talking piece. Such incredible bead work, I’m not sure that I would want to wear them, plus I would never get anywhere on the cobblestones of Oaxaca. However, I definitely enjoy looking at them and others might be braver than me.
