As a matter of fact, our fiber board innersoles much more breathable and durable, lasting up to 10 years, also helping to prevent soles from splitting in half. Fitted with 100% genuine eco rubber soles for outstanding quality and good grip. Soles also hand-stitched into the bottom of the shoe. 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.
Artist Inspiration: The Zulu Collection designed to represent the Zulu people of South Africa. Zulu people are native people of Southern Africa, also originating from Nguni communities who took part in the Bantu migrations over millennia. The Zulu people are certainly the largest ethnic group in South Africa, mainly living in KwaZulu-Natal province. Our Zulu Collection made for the strong, as the Zulu people are resilient warriors.
