building better shoes

We believe in building products that last…. period. That's why our shoes are handcrafted with locally sourced, premium materials. We feel it’s our responsibility to craft shoes that are not only ethically and responsibly made but, feel crazy comfy and provide you with effortless daily style. We want you to feel good about the products you wear and improve the lives of those that made them.

fair and ethical

We care deeply and are fully committed to improving the lives of our craftsmen, craftswomen and their families. We do this by ensuring they earn fair wages and are treated in a safe and dignified manner.

We are constantly improving and evolving our practices so that we can do better for the people and for the planet.

conscious sustainability

To us, sustainability is about making beautiful products that last. And constantly looking at every aspect of a process and evaluating how we can do it better to improve the impact on the environment and the people around us.

our factory

Located in the beautiful city of Durban on the east coast of South Africa, our factory is a 4th generation, locally owned, family business.

We make shoes that you can feel good about (and look great in). Our Veldskoen are handcrafted with premium natural materials, an obsessive eye for detail, and a conscious mind.

We pride ourselves in sourcing as much of the footwear components locally as to support a wide range of South African companies and reduce our carbon footprint.

Love them

Finally wore them tonight because it’s been so warm in Atlanta. Walked about a half mile to dinner and back firs time I wore them. They are so comfortable I don’t want to take them off. Lots of compliments on the orange soles. Will order more. Thank you.

Just so cool

These shoes are just so cool. They’re like “hey, yeah, I have super bright blue soles and laces on my shoes, but also they’re soft neutral suede and super comfy.” They show a little humor and style, but without trying too hard.

JBay

Comfortable, true to size, and really nice looking. They are kinda like Wallabees, if Wallabees were comfortable and didn’t break your ankles due to their narrow shape and soles.

Men's Heritage Veldskoen (Pinotage Red)

Awesome
