Get Ready for Durga Puja: Festive Footwear Ideas by Sandal Stories
Durga Puja isn’t just a festival - it’s an experience. The pandals lit up with colours, the sound of dhaak echoing in the background, families dressed in their best, and streets buzzing with food stalls—it’s the time of year when style meets celebration.
By now, you’ve probably planned most of your pooja checklist:
✔ Outfits for Saptami, Ashtami, and Navami
✔ Matching jewelry
✔ Office holidays approved
✔ Food hopping list ready
But there’s always one thing that gets left for last-minute confusion: What footwear should I wear this Durga Puja?
The truth is - Durga Puja means walking. From hopping across pandals during the day to dancing at cultural nights, your feet take you everywhere. That’s why you need footwear that blends comfort, style, and festive flair.
Festive Flats for Pandal Hopping
If you’re someone who loves being out from morning till night, flats are your savior. Delicately embellished with sequins, mirror work, and thread embroidery, festive flats match saris, kurtis, and Indo-western outfits with ease. And the cushioned sole means you won’t have to think twice before taking that extra round of the pandal.
Statement Heels for Evening Elegance
Planning to dress up for an evening aarti or a pooja gala? Heels add instant glamour. Choose between gold block heels for regal charm, crystal-detailed stilettos for drama, or chic kitten heels for subtle sophistication. They not only complement Banarasi saris but also lift Indo-western shararas or gowns beautifully.
Wedges: Stylish Yet Practical
Love a little height but don’t want to compromise on balance? Wedges are your best bet. Glitter straps, jute finishes, and embroidery make them festive-ready while still walk-friendly. Pair red wedges with a zari lehenga or ivory wedges with a white-and-red sari for the perfect Pujo look.

Punjabi Juttis: Timeless Heritage
No festive wardrobe feels complete without a pair of Punjabi juttis. Hand-embroidered with vibrant colors, mirror work, and gota patti, they bring an artisanal touch to your outfit. Teal juttis with a maroon sari or gold juttis with a pastel anarkali—either way, they make for versatile and comfortable festive companions.
Anklets: The Final Sparkle
Don’t forget to add anklets for that subtle festive charm. A delicate silver chain or a beaded ghungroo anklet makes every step more graceful, while drawing attention to your footwear. It’s a small detail but one that elevates your entire look.
