These are traditional Indian and Pakistani shoes called "khussa." Khussa are hand made shoes which may be worn for casual use as well as to parties and functions. They are very popular to wear to weddings, both for the wedding party and the guests.
Khussa shoes are made with leather and are hand stitched. They are famous for their fine embroidery, done with beads, sequins, thread, and mirrors.
