Tip 1 : More you wear – better they fit
The juttis are handcrafted using authentic leather. There is no left or right in women’s juttis– but once worn, jutti will automatically take the shape of your feet.
The more you wear them – the better they fit.
Tip 2 : Walk in them
When buying, we suggest snug fit as genuine leather loosen up a bit to take shape of your feet.
But for some – this might not happen in the first time. So don’t stress your feet by wearing the brand new shoes to a full day’s work straight out of the box. Ease them in by wearing them around the house for a few hours or for short rendezvous. This will soften up the construction and ensure a comfortable fit. Pro Tip : Our juttis are made with care and will not sting your feet but if you want to be precautious you may line your juttis with mustard oil for a day and leave, it will further soften the leather.
Tip 3 : Say no to water
Try not to take your new shoes for a walk in the rain. Water is not a friend of leather. Leather is a porous material and will deteriorate in the wet.
If you’ve by any chance walked on a damp floor – DO NOT dry your shoes in front of a heat source or you’ll crack the leather. Simply stuff them with newspaper or tissue paper and allow them to dry out naturally.
Tip 4 : Wrap in our muslin Chhala Bag or use shoe tree
Keep your juttis wrapped in Muslin cloth. The Muslin is soft and lets your product breathe while still protecting it from weather changes.
Men can use a good quality shoe tree to keep their shoes in shape.
Tip 5: Keep them Clean
*For cleaning the printed area, wipe gently with a damp cloth and mild cleanser.
*For cleaning the leather surface – use leather cleaner.
