Safari vellies
Veldskoene (pronounced “FELT-skoona”), sometimes called vellies (pronounced “FELL-ys”), are traditional South African walking shoes constructed of vegetable-tanned leather or soft rawhide leather uppers or suede that are bonded to a leather footbed and rubber sole without the use of tacks or nails.

Vellie skoene (shoe) derives from Afrikaans vel (“skin”), which was then merged with veld (“field”).
The first Dutch settlers in South Africa established them in the 17th century. These settlers’ traditional Khoisan footwear is claimed to have impacted their design. When safari velskoene were utilized as the Great Trek’s footwear, they became ingrained in the Afrikaaner mentality, and they will be a part of our culture for a long time.
Safari shoes
Safari Vellies formed part of South African, Zimbabwean (formerly Rhodesian), and Namibian culture, and were worn by people of all classes and professions, often without socks, but particularly by students, farmers, and safari guides. Myvellies shoe company, popularized the desert boot, which was influenced by the round toe and design of safari veldskoene.
