FAQs

Have a question ? We are here to help.

Are Kolhapuri chappals comfortable for all-day wear, especially in Indian weather?

Yes — this is actually one of their biggest advantages over regular footwear. Their open, breathable structure allows airflow, reduces heat buildup, and prevents prolonged dampness, which matters a lot given India's climate isn't forgiving — closed footwear traps moisture and synthetic sandals amplify sweat. Combined with the natural leather molding to your feet over time, they get more comfortable the more you wear them, not less.

How can I tell these are genuine leather and handcrafted, not machine-made fakes?

Look for the small imperfections machines can't replicate. Handmade means slight variations — perfect symmetry is actually a sign of machine-made. Genuine leather is supple yet firm when pressed, resists bending without snapping, has a mild earthy smell rather than a chemical one, and shows raw leather cord stitching rather than glue residue. Every STEPSOFT pair carries these natural artisan markers — no two handmade pairs are ever perfectly identical.

How long do genuine leather Kolhapuri chappals last?

With basic care, they're built for the long haul. Kolhapuri chappals are long-lasting because they're made of leather — even with daily wear, they can last over six months to one year, with many customers reporting multi-year durability when stored and cleaned properly. Keep them away from excess water, wipe with a dry cloth, and store in a cool, dry place.

Why do new Kolhapuri chappals feel stiff or tight at first?
