Footwear can make a huge impact on how you feel throughout the day. Many women are drawn to ethnic footwear because of its visual charm. However, comfort is also an important feature when it comes to choosing ethnic-style footwear. It is for this reason that Punjabi Juttis are such a beautiful and practical alternative. At Gulbhahar, we believe that style should never be sacrificed for comfort.

Punjabi Juttis have a traditional look and feel. They incorporate many hand-crafted elements. They provide an added cultural aspect. They work well with all styles of clothing, including suits, sarees, kurtis, and Indo-Western outfits. However, the main question will always be if they are comfortable enough to wear them for an extended period of time. The level of comfort you experience from wearing them is determined by the quality, the fit, and the type of jutti that you have selected.

What Makes Punjabi Juttis Comfortable

Even though Punjabi Juttis have the same flat appearance as traditional flat footwear, they have actually been made with great attention to detail. The stitching on Punjabi Juttis is extremely well done, and they have a strong structural shape that helps hold your foot in place. Punjabi Juttis can be made from a variety of materials, including leather, faux leather, and fabric bases, which create a strong, stable feel throughout the wearer’s foot.

The fact that Punjabi Juttis enclose your foot is a major factor in the comfort provided. This feature helps distribute your weight evenly on your feet.  Therefore, they are an excellent choice for walking, shopping, and extended periods of time at events. Additionally, they fit snugly to your feet to ensure that your foot does not slide forward. This is one of the most common problems with traditional flat shoes.

Comfort Depends on the Inner Sole and Padding

Not every Punjabi Jutti will give you the same comfort level while wearing them for extended periods. The best Punjabi Juttis are constructed with a cushy inner foam and soft outer sole (bottom) to help relieve pressure on the heels and provide support to your arches.

Smooth lining is necessary to prevent the inner portion of the jutti from rubbing against your foot and causing irritation. Inner seams that are rough will create discomfort after prolonged daily wearing. At Gulbhahar, we intend to create Punjabi Juttis with a soft interior feel that won't irritate your skin.

Selecting the Correct Size for Long Wear

Trying on Juttis to find an appropriate size is extremely important. Especially if you wish to wear your Punjabi Jutti for an extended period. Juttis that are too tight can cause sore toe tips and wide sides, while shoes that are too loose can create friction and blisters on the soles of your feet. Since Punjabi Juttis are generally handmade, size discrepancies may occur between similar styles.

It is much better to purchase a pair that fits comfortably without putting too much pressure on the feet. In addition, certain types of materials, such as leather, will soften with continued use and become more comfortable as they "break in."

Best Punjabi Juttis Styles for Long Wear

To have comfort as a key factor when selecting Punjabi Juttis, choose ones with a flat sole and a wider base. The lower weight of Minimal Embroidery Designs is another benefit as they are not too heavy to wear for a longer period. Although some heavily adorned designs are very beautiful, they can sometimes make the footwear to become stiff.

For everyday wear consider Punjabi Juttis that are made from fabric and have soft padding. For wedding or festival occasions, consider choosing richer wedding-style Punjabi Juttis that come with mirror work, pearl work, or zari. Make sure you have a fully cushioned sole to help keep your feet comfortable during the festivities.

Are Punjabi Juttis Appropriate to be Worn Daily?

Yes, you can wear Punjabi Juttis comfortably for long periods of time if you are careful in your selection. The nature of their traditional design, combined with a supportive shape and a stylish appearance makes them ideal to wear all day when they are purchased with the proper padding and fit. At Gulbhahar we are dedicated to crafting Punjabi Juttis that provide you with the very best styles and also to produce them with high quality and comfortable styles, so you can be stylish and confident all day long.
