Check the Size Guide BEFORE placing your order.

Our wide fit, unisex, shoes look equally great on gents and ladies. However, your Veldskoen size might not be your usual size. We have found (through repeated testing) that ladies must order one size down, and half sizes must also order down rather than up.

BRIGHTEN YOUR SOLE

You know what sucks about regular leather shoes? They have no soul! They all come in one basic colour. One colour fits all, is not a mantra we live by in the rainbow nation.

You are unique. Some days you feel like jumping in puddles, and other days you want to show the boss you mean business. Sometimes you are playful, sometimes you are serious, but you are never boring.

So, wear a sole that pleases your soul! We have a whole rainbow of colours to choose from!

THE UHAMBO

Uhambo means 'journey' in Xhosa, which is South Africa's second-most-populous home language. Xhosa people belong to differing tribes, with distinct heritages, but are fiercely traditional as a rule. Many, to this day, continue to practice the customs inherited from their forefathers.

The leather of our Veldskoen Heritage shoes is treated to become hydrophobic. That's a fancy way of saying they are water repellent.

These are unisex shoes and the fit is wide. Ladies, please order one size down from your usual size.

RETURNS/EXCHANGES

- Superior materials: We source as many of our materials locally (in SA) as we possibly can. By sourcing locally, we help support local businesses and communities. This has the knock-on effect of reduced carbon emissions, because components and finished products spend less time in transit.
- All day Comfort: Veldskoen leather naturally conforms and moulds to your foot. After a few days of wear, they will feel like they are an extension of your foot.
- Hand stitched detail: Each Veldskoen is handmade and stitched in South Africa by master shoe makers. This means individual care and attention is given to every shoe.
- Brighten your sole: Veldskoen come in a variety of colours. There’s a Veldskoen sole for every mood and situation. In Veldskoen you can go from cruising the office, to hiking through the bush, without skipping a beat.
- Odour free: Did you know leather is a natural deodorizer? Veldskoen announce themselves because of how they look, not because of how they smell. You can even wear them without socks.
- Leather Uppers: Our leather is sourced from a handful of local tanneries. We use a few different types of leathers.
- Full grain reversible suede in 1.8/2.0mm substance on our Heritage and Chelsea range.
- All our leathers are sustainably and ethically, sourced by-product from the local meat industry.
  Because we use genuine leather, finishes may differ slightly between shoes, or areas on a pair of shoes. We love these unique textures and believe they are part of what gives Veldskoen their beautiful character!
- Hydrophobic leather: All our Veldskoen leathers have been given a hydrophobic treatment. This means that if you spill liquid on them, it will roll off, instead of damning up, which gives you time to wipe off the liquid before it is absorbed.
- Veldskoen Sole:All our soles are all made from a durable synthetic rubber compound, which is recyclable.
- Insock:To give you all day comfort, our insocks are made with a 4mm, high density, memory foam. They are covered with a durable PU lining that creates the perfect padding for your feet.
- Laces: Our 70cm/27 inch laces are 50/50 polyester and cotton blend. This combination of polyester and cotton creates a strong and flexible lace that will last a long time.
- Stitching: Our stitching is done with a semi waxed, 100% polyester, braided thread, that is as strong as the shoe itself. We use double stitching, on all high movement areas of the shoe, for added strength.
