The workshop

Fourteen karigars, three generations, one street in Kasba Peth.

Pagdandi began in 1994 when Shankar Kadam moved his Kolhapuri bench from Kolhapur to Pune. Today his sons and 12 karigars make every pair by hand, and we still resole shoes we sold twenty years ago.

What customers say

Sample reviews, written for this demo. Real customer reviews replace them on your store.

I have wide feet and have never bought shoes that did not hurt. The wide-fit loafer was comfortable on day one.
Rohan D. · Pune
They resoled my father’s twelve-year-old derbies. They look better than mine.
Aditya K. · Mumbai
My Kolhapuris were stiff for a week, exactly as they warned me, and now they are the best sandals I own.

Questions

Before you order

Answers to what customers ask us most. More on the questions page.

How do I find my size?

Trace your foot on paper, measure the longest toe to the heel in centimetres and match it to our chart. If you are between sizes, choose wide fit rather than a bigger size.

Will Kolhapuris bleed colour?

Bark-tanned leather can stain light socks or wet feet for the first few wears. Wipe the inside with a damp cloth and let them dry before wearing.

Can I return a pair?

We resize or exchange any unworn pair within 15 days, free. Refunds are given on unworn pairs within 7 days.

How much does resoling cost?

Kolhapuri soles from ₹650, leather soles from ₹1,400 and Goodyear-welted resoles from ₹2,200. Allow 7–10 days.

Why we stitch our soles

A glued sole cannot be replaced; a stitched one can be replaced many times. That is the whole difference.

How to measure your feet at home

Five minutes, a sheet of paper and a ruler will tell you more than the size printed in your old shoes.

Old pair worn through? We will resole it.
