My new go to everyday shoe. They’re comfortable even without socks and break in quickly. I had to size down nearly two full sizes though since my foot was swimming in the original US 11 size I ordered. At nearly $120 these are at the absolute limit of what I would spend on casual shoes. $90 - $95 is a better price point.
The Veldskoen staff are friendly and helpful. Kudos to them for a pleasant shopping experience!
Having lived in South Africa years ago I was intrigued by Veldskoen’s Heritage from the first time I saw it. Got my first pair two years ago & love them. Could not wait to get the Vilakazi. I used to drive past that street in Soweto a few times a week. The yellow is awesome! Makes me think of Kaizer Chiefs FC. One note: I normally wear a 11.5 US, but both my Heritage boots are a size 10 US lest they feel too long like clown shoes.
I am elated with my new Veldshoen boots. The fit is perfect and they were comfortable out of the box. The style is classic.
