Caring for Your Juttis: Easy Hacks to Keep Them New

A pair of juttis is more than just footwear — it’s art, tradition, and comfort stitched into one. Whether it’s delicate hand embroidery, intricate beadwork, or soft leather, your juttis deserve a little extra care to stay looking as beautiful as the day you bought them.

Here are some easy, practical hacks to keep your juttis fresh and new for years:

1. Avoid Moisture & Water

Juttis are handcrafted, often with fabric, leather, or embellishments that don’t do well with water.

If they do get wet, gently pat them dry with a soft cloth and leave them in a cool, airy spot (never under direct sun or a dryer).

💡 Pro Tip: Use a waterproof spray (light, fabric-safe) to protect against accidental spills.

2. Clean Gently — Don’t Scrub

For dust & dirt: use a soft, dry cloth or a gentle shoe brush.

For stains on fabric/velvet: dab (don’t rub) with a slightly damp cloth.

For leather juttis: wipe with a dry cloth and condition occasionally with a mild leather cream.

💡 Pro Tip: Never use harsh detergents or soak your juttis — it can damage embroidery and fabric.

3. Keep the Shape Intact

When not in use, stuff your juttis with tissue paper or soft cotton to hold their shape.

Store them in individual cloth bags to avoid scratches or embroidery snags.

💡 Pro Tip: If you own multiple pairs, rotate their use — it helps prolong life and keeps them comfy.

4. Dealing with Odor Naturally

Since juttis are closed-toe, they may trap a little moisture.

Sprinkle baking soda inside and leave overnight to absorb odor, or place a small sachet of dried lavender/charcoal inside.

5. Mind the Embellishments

Beads, sequins, mirrors, or zardozi work need special care.

Always keep such pairs in soft, padded pouches.

Avoid brushing over embroidery — use a blower on low setting if you need to clear dust.

6. Wear Them Right

Juttis are designed to mold to your feet. First wear might feel snug, but with time they’ll soften and fit perfectly.

Avoid forcing them on wet feet or on rough ground initially.

7. Show Them Off, But Store Them Smart

Don’t pile your juttis with other shoes.

Use cloth shoe bags (not plastic) for airflow and to prevent moisture build-up.

✨ Final Word

Caring for your juttis isn’t complicated — just a few mindful steps can keep them looking new and feeling comfortable for years. Think of it as preserving not just footwear, but a piece of tradition and artistry.
