Women’s Desert Veldskoen Brown

Description

The Women’s Desert Veldskoen Brown Leather our upmarket version of the original South African Veldskoen made from a 100% South African Cow Leather. Our New Castrol Leather buffed, coated in more oil and then burned through an ironing press to achieve the effect. Once in use, the oil disperses into the hide, softening the leather from the inside out. This creates a 2 tone distress appearance with a soft velvet touch.

The interior of these 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 preventing soles from splitting in half. Fitted with 100% genuine rubber soles for outstanding quality and 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 first Dutch settlers in South Africa. Their design also believed to be based on traditional Khoisan footwear observed by these settlers. The footwear was later embedded into the Afrikaaner psyche when velskoene were used as the footwear of the Great Trek.
