Beaded & Sequin Indian Khussa Belly Dance Shoes for Women Handcrafted Casual Footwear Available in Various Sizes Sale
Punjab and Rajasthan has a rich and long tradition of leather crafts. Each village had its families of leather workers. The juti, mojari or pagarkhi are leather shoes and slippers worn by both men and women of all communities. The mojari is tanned with vegetable dye and has excellent thermal insulation quality. The process of production starts with cutting the leather with a sharp knife both for the upper and the sole. Stuck together with home made glue, they are stitched with cotton or leather thread. The upper is then embroidered by the women whose finesse as they embroider these shoes is a treat to watch. The embroidery is done directly on leather using cotton, silk or woolen threads depending on the material used for the upper surface. Bright colors, traditional motifs and contemporary designs are the primary themes. The stitching is finally strengthened by hammering. Beads and appliqué works are also becoming very popular. Actual gemstones are no longer used as they were used once.There is no right and left shoe, khussa shoes mold to the exact shape of your foot upon breaking in becoming extremely comfortable. Shoes are designed to be worn in the traditional way with your toes all the way to the tip of the shoe. If you like extra room in the toe area, size up. Size up for half sizes or for wide widths (if you are an 8.5, you should get a 9).
