Each piece is carefully stitched by hand, reflecting generations of skill passed down from master cobblers.

Why Choose Black?

Black symbolizes sophistication, power, and versatility. The Black Panjedar Chappal is no different.

Pashtun Chappal – The Ultimate Symbol of Culture

The pashtun chappal is not just about fashion; it tells a story.Families often pass down these chappals as heirlooms. Their thick double soles, wide front, and reinforced stitching handle tough terrain—just like the people who wear them. Choosing a Pashtun-style chappal honors centuries-old values: strength, dignity, and craftsmanship.

Craftsmanship Behind Every Pair

Each Black Panjedar Chappal takes hours to craft. Local artisans source the leather from nearby markets and tan it naturally to maintain a soft yet durable texture. They cut the straps precisely to create the signature five-strap pattern and stitch them by hand using heavy-duty thread. They also pad the footbed for added comfort and finish the sole with a non-slip rubber layer to provide secure footing on all surfaces.

This fusion of comfort and craftsmanship is what sets the Borjan Shoes​ apart from mass-produced alternatives.
