Jutti

The Juti or Jutti is a type of footwear common in North India, Pakistan, and neighboring regions.

They are traditionally made up of leather and with extensive embroidery, in real gold and silver thread as inspired by royalty in the subcontinent over 400 years ago.

Prior to that, Rajputs of the northwest used to wear leather juttis, also called ethnic shoes.

Juttis are slip-on in style and are characterized by rising high to the Achilles tendon in the back and covering the toes with a round or M-shaped heavily-embroidered upper, leaving the top of the foot nearly bare.

[citation needed] It is believed that one of the earliest examples of footwear worn on the Indian subcontinent is a sandal of wood, datable to circa 200 BC.
