Most of the footwear at Heels is made out of canvas and PU.

Though there are a ton of sari stores in the market, we liked Kalakriti Sarees the best. It's well laid out, the service is great and you'll find saris in silk, georgette, cotton, and chiffon at the store. And while most of their collection is on the heavier side (embroidered, gold work etc.), we did find a few muted designs that had us reaching for our wallet.

Richa Ladies And Kids Footwear is a very small shop located in one of the many alleys in the market and it has the best collection of affordable juttis in Faridabad that we could find.

And FYI, you'll have to find the store by asking around a little as it doesn't have a registered address or phone number.
