VELDSTRIDE FOOTWEAR

Description

MADE TO BE MENDED

Every pair is cut, closed and lasted by hand in our Cape Town workshop, then stitched to a sole that can be taken off and put back on. The leather gives where your foot asks it to.

Wipe the dust off, feed the grain with a little cream now and then, and let wet shoes dry slowly. When the sole wears thin, send them back.

MATERIALS AND FIT

Cut from full-grain hide and lined in soft calf, with a stitched sole we can replace on the bench later. The last runs a touch wider through the forefoot, which suits most feet.

  • Full-grain leather upper
  • Stitched, resole friendly sole
  • UK 3 to UK 12
  • About 520 grams per shoe

Good leather, honest stitching, and a sole that can be replaced. That is the whole idea.

Shipping and Delivery

CARE AND FIT

Leather needs a little attention and not much else. Wipe the dust off after a long day, let wet pairs dry slowly away from a heater, and give the uppers a thin coat of cream every month or so.

HOW TO LOOK AFTER THEM

  • Use cedar shoe trees overnight to hold the shape.
  • Rotate pairs so the lining has a day to dry.
  • Bring worn soles back to us before the welt goes.

Sizing runs true in South Africa and EU. If you are between sizes or have a high instep, phone the workshop on 021 555 0164 and we will talk it through.
