vellies from the safari
our vellies have a long and illustrious history.
Veldskoene (pronounced “FELT-skoona”), also known as vellies (pronounced “FELL-ys”), are traditionally South African walking shoes with uppers made of vegetable-tanned leather or soft rawhide leather or suede that are bonded to a leather footbed and rubber sole without the use of tacks or nails.

Vellie skoene (shoe) is derived from Afrikaans vel (“skin”), which was then combined with veld (“field”), veld (“field”), veld (“field”), veld (“field”), veld (“field”), veld (“field”), veld (“field”), veld (“field”), veld (“field”), veld (“field”), veld (“field”), veld (“field”) (“shoes”). The first Dutch settlers in South Africa founded them in the 17th century. These settlers’ designs are claimed to have been influenced by traditional Khoisan footwear. When Velskoene were utilized as the Great Trek’s footwear, they became ingrained in the Afrikaaner consciousness, and they will continue to be a part of our culture for a long time.
Are Veldskoen shoes comfortable?
Vellies were worn by people of all classes and professions, often without socks, but especially by students, farmers, and safari guides, and became embedded in South African, Zimbabwean (formerly Rhodesian), and Namibian culture. C&J Clark, Nathan Clark’s shoe company, popularized the desert boot, which was influenced by veldskoens’ round toe and form. Veldskoene imported from South Africa inspired the shape and design of the veldskoene he saw for sale in Cairo bazaars.
