VELDSKOEN® is a native South African footwear brand that is now available in the US, the UK, Europe and zando.co.za. With a touch of Mzansi magic, VELDSKOEN® has reimagined and reinvented the ‘field shoe’ which dates back as far as the 17th century. The brand has taken the iconic design for which it is named and made it contemporary. The shoes are legendary – worn for some of the most extraordinary journeys in human and African history, they then led to the creation of the desert boot category as we know it today.
Handmade the hard way
VELDSKOEN® have been an iconic shoe of South African farmers for centuries known for their exceptional comfort and durability. Each pair is handmade in South Africa, cut and sewn from handpicked African rawhide leather making each shoe a unique one of a kind, following the precise design standards set forward from centuries of South African shoe making traditions.
Mark Cuban
Mark Cuban, a true believer of passion-led brands, is the first major international investor to see the brand’s potential and has paved the way for their entry into the US. There has already been a positive reception, both in the States and in the UK – the brand is now beginning to ramp up its international operations. Founders Ross Zondagh, Nic Latouf and Nick Dreyer are extremely excited about the new partnership and to witness the brand grow.
Famous Fans
The shoes have been spotted on famous feet like Prince Harry, Westworld star Thandie Newton and movie star Ashton Kutcher. And are now known worldwide thanks to the South African Olympics team who wore them at the opening ceremony of the Toyko Olympics.
