Guru sandals are sourced from craftsmen who support a dying cottage industry
art, based within Lahore and its surrounding villages. The source is also a
pioneer in terms of design, technology and standard, producing the most
beautifully-worked, durable, quality products available in Pakistan, and in the
world today.
Design innovation is drawn regionally from across Pakistan,
and surrounding cultural influences. All sandals are made of natural, premium
quality cowhide. The shoes are naturally processed, no chemicals are involved in
their manufacture. No child labor is used in the manufacture of these shoes. The
threadwork, or tankas, are stitched by hand by women or old men from their
homes. Often, they are the sole breadwinners for their families. All Guru
sandals have reinforced rubber soles for added comfort and durability.
