This Women’s Desert Veldskoen Brown Leather is our modernised version of the original South African Veldskoen. Made from a 100% South African Cow Leather. The interior of the Women’s Desert Veldskoen Brown Leather shoes also fully lined with leather and fitted with fibreboard inner-soles. Covered in latex foam and wrapped with leather for your comfort. As a matter of fact, our fiber board innersoles much more breathable and durable. Also lasting up to 10 years, as well as helping to prevent soles from splitting in half. Fitted with 100% genuine eco rubber soles for outstanding quality and good grip. All soles can be replaced and recycled when needed. All NAVA Apparel shoes handmade by local South African craftsmen and women. Without their skills, our quality products wouldn’t exist.

Veldskoene (“FELT-skoona”) or vellies (“FELL-ys”) Southern African walking shoes made from vegetable-tanned leather or soft rawhide uppers attached to a leather footbed and rubber sole without tacks or nails. The name comes from Afrikaans vel (“skin”), later assimilated with veld (“field”), and skoene (“shoes”). First made in the 17th century by the Dutch settlers in South Africa. Their design also based on the traditional Khoisan footwear observed by these settlers. The footwear later embedded into the Afrikaaner psyche when velskoene were used as the footwear of the Great Trek.
