While the Indian footwear business has undergone significant transformation in recent years, nothing has recently had as much of an impact on industry trends as the global pandemic.

The preference for cozy shoes is at an all-time high as individuals spend most of their time indoors. In this post-covid era, kolhas, juttis, and sliders are internet purchasing platforms' most popular search terms. After experiencing the lovely moment of slipping our feet into flat sandals and being ready to go, it is now tough to return to wearing shoes, boots, and high heels. 

While certain footwear has been Indianized, such as ballerinas, kitten heels, block heels or wedges, Greek sandals, and loafers, others still reflect India's vast and varied cultures and customs.

 

Keep in mind that comfort should come first, but that does not mean we should wear something boring to be at our most comfortable. It could be both stylish and cozy at the same time. 

 

 

Indianising on our shoe trends, the 'wearability and style' formula for this year's shoe trends is a simple one that we would be okay with.

Famously known Manolo Blahnik says,

"Shoes are the quickest way for women to achieve instant metamorphosis"

In the most popular documentary of recent times on Docubay called "Manolo: The Boy Who Made Shoes For Lizards." Right on to Manolo's words, here are the top Indian footwear styles our generations are embracing. Fill your shelf with our suggestions!

 

KOLHAS

Kolhapuri chappals have a long history dating back to the 12th century, when Basavanna, a minister to King Bijjala of the Western Chalyuka dynasty, supported the local production of Kolhapur chappals to benefit the cobbler community. Even though traditionally, these were made of leather, and we may categorize footwear into non-leather and leather categories, adopting vegan footwear and avoiding animal-based items are now mainstream trends.

Of course, keeping the handmade varieties. Our Kolhas are adorned with comfort and promise to add an oomph to your outfit.

Hand embroidered with pearls, crystals, beadwork, and sequins, these perfectly match every outfit. The midsole is incredibly soft, flexible, and stable in every step you take.

JUTTIS

How can we continue drooling over Indian footwear without mentioning the most adored of them all, Juttis?

Juttis have been innovated and stylized in distinctive ways suitable to the present times. They are something that somehow never goes out of style, and now that we are speaking up for locals to create a support system for local businesses. From office wear to a big fat Indian wedding, Juttis can be styled unimaginably.

Holding on to the trail are TinselToes juttis, handcrafted with the most intricate designs and justifying comfort and fashion together. Here are our most loved pairs, and we are sure you can't resist adding them to your cart, too!
