Heels and juttis you can dance the whole Diwali night in
Posted by CUNEI INDIA
Diwali means four events in three days: the puja, the family dinner, the card party and someone's sangeet. Your outfit is planned. Your feet are the part that decides how long you stay.
Here is how to choose, and what we would wear. Diwali is Sunday 8 November.
Juttis for puja and family dinners
You will be on the floor, then on your feet, then on the floor again. A flat with some give and a closed back stays on and does not slip.
The Green Ghungroo Jutti starts at Rs 2,090 (sizes 34–36; larger sizes are Rs 2,290). It makes a sound when you walk in, which is the point. The White Mirror Work Jutti starts at Rs 2,290 (sizes 34–36; larger sizes are Rs 2,490). It is quieter and goes with a pastel saree or a white anarkali.
Heels for the party and the sangeet
Pick a block or a wedge if you will be standing for hours. The White Pearl Motif Wedges are Rs 1,950. Sizes 37–39 are sold out; 36 and 40–42 are in stock. They give you height without the ache and look right under a lehenga.
If you want a real heel, the Emerald Green Heels are Rs 2,290, the colour of a good festive saree border. Wear them with an ivory outfit and let the shoe lead.
Three rules for a long night
Break them in at home for an evening, not in the car on the way to the event. Pick a cushioned sole if the venue has a stone floor. Carry a spare pair of flats in your bag, and nobody needs to know.
Footwear that is unused, with the tags and the original packaging, can be returned within 14 days. Jewellery, watches, sunglasses, handbags and clutches are accepted back only for a manufacturing defect or damage on delivery.
Orders dispatch in 2–4 working days and usually arrive 3–5 working days after dispatch, depending on the pin code. Shipping inside India is free, and cash on delivery is available. Diwali is Sunday 8 November. An order placed now can still arrive before then on the faster end of that window, and it can miss it on the slower end. Message us on WhatsApp at +91 93264 69695 with your pin code if the gift has to be there before Diwali.
Still deciding? Festive Footwear Under 2000 has over a hundred pairs, and Sangeet Heels covers the wedding-season events after Diwali.
