Ships Fast from the U.S.In the traditional style of jutti, these decorative slip-on shoes from India are designed by Vikram Uberoi, drawing inspiration from the beauty of the Taj Mahal. He works with local artisans, who handcraft the shoes of teal silk with nappa leather soles. The shoes are embellished by hand with rayon and traditional metallic zari threads alongside acrylic beads and glimmering sequins. A foam padding provides comfort, and each shoe's sole is decorated with laser-printed motifs.
Jutti shoes, also known as mojari, are traditional shoes common in North India and its neighboring regions. Characterized by extensive and intricate embroidery performed with real gold and silver thread, juttis are inspired by footwear worn by Indian royalty over 400 years ago. To this day, these beautiful slip-on shoes are popular at weddings and other ceremonies, as well as for everyday use.

"So, so beautiful!!"
I ordered these shoes hoping they would fit, and a little cautious about their comfort. Not only do they fit well and are very comfortable, they are absolutely beautiful. They are so beautiful I?m not certain I want to put them on the street!. Silk and leather, beautiful beadwork, so delightful. I would purchase again.

"Lovely Shoes"
I received the shoes very quickly in the mail and they are beautiful! I ordered the blue but these are more on the green color but I love them. I actually have different flowered blouses with green leaves that can match with the shoes. The workmanship is just beautiful. I have wide feet so I ordered a size 37 (USA size 7) and they fit fine, normally I wear a size USA 6.

"Gorgeous slippers"
Upon opening the box I immediately fell in love with these beautifully crafted shoes. Thats the only reason why I havent returned them for the next largest size. Im just afraid the next size might be too big. I wear size 8 but these shoes fall 1/2 size short. They are better labelel 7-7 1/2 and next size 8-8 1/2. Most recently I bought Vionic sandals from you in size 8. They are perfect. Im used to European sizing. This is why I gave 4 stars instead of 5.
