The Kalahari
A Chelsea boot built the way a vellie is built. Ankle-height full-grain upper with twin elastic side gussets and a leather pull tab, so it goes on without laces and stays on without gaping. Hand-stitched to a welt, which means the sole comes off and a new one goes on instead of the boot going in the bin. Unlined, so it softens to the shape of your foot within about a week. In Chocolate.
Leather & care
+
Full-grain South African leather, cut and stitched by hand. Wipe clean with a damp cloth, feed with a neutral leather balm every few months, and keep out of direct heat. Vellies age with you: the marks are part of the story.
Delivery & returns
+
Free delivery on every order, anywhere in South Africa, door to door with The Courier Guy in 2–4 working days. Unworn pairs can be exchanged or returned within 30 days.
Sizing
+
All our shoes are UK sizes, which is what South African sizing follows, so order the size you normally wear. Between sizes? Take the larger one. The leather moulds to your foot within the first week of wear. Full UK, EU and US conversion tables are in our size guide.
