They are traditionally made up of leather and with extensive embroidery. Handcrafted juttis are exported all over the world. Closely related to mojaris, juttis have evolved into several localized design variations, even depending upon the shoemaker. By and large, they have no left or right foot distinction, and over time take the shape of the foot. They usually have flat sole, and are similar in design for both women and men, except that, for men, they have a sharp extended tip, curved upwards like traditional mustaches, and are also called khussa, and some women juttis have no back part, near the ankle. Even with changing times juttis have remained part of ceremonial attire, especially at weddings. The embellished juttis are used for everyday for both men and women in most of North India including Punjab and Rajasthan.
