Veldskoen for school: SA’s new footwear for students

Veldskoen, locally known as Vellies, is a uniquely South African shoe. The brand is typically made from vegetable-tanned leather or soft hide uppers that are attached to a leather footbed and rubber sole, without using any tacks or nails.

Nowadays, it is no surprise when spotting people from other corners of the world wearing Veldskoen. These bespoke South African shoes have taken the world by storm.

NEW VELDSKOEN SCHOOL SHOES

Schoolskoen, manufacturer of the iconic brand has partnered with Softer Shoes to produce the ideal school shoe for South African students.

The new school shoe range aims to create awareness of the importance proper footwear plays in supporting a child’s well-being and educational development.

VELDSKOEN FOR SCHOOL

Veldskoen is the quintessential SA shoe brand. The new school shoe, the ‘Schoolskoen’, is designed with the South African child in mind.

Schoolskoen shoes are robust and comfortable. The new footwear range for scholars is highly durable. The shoes are made from high-quality grain leather with strong stitching and soles.

Every pair of Schoolskoen shoes is likely to last long enough to be passed on to a sibling – or another child, once the original wearer has outgrown them.

FOCUS ON MENTAL HEALTH

South Africans face challenges every day. Loadshedding and extended periods without water are common.

Reduced safety due to spiking crime levels concerns everyone. Increased financial instability is another worry we face almost every day.

Each pair of Schoolskoen shoes comes with a free subscription to ‘Are You Okay?’.

This online mental health platform with course material and online counselling support is designed to help children cope with stress and bullying, and the challenges of modern life.

BENEFITS OF BETTER SCHOOL SHOES

Wearing comfortable and well-fitting school shoes helps to enhance a student’s self-confidence and well-being.

This allows scholars to concentrate on their studies without the distraction and discomfort of shoe-related issues.

It also ensures students can participate safely and confidently at school.

PROUDLY SOUTH AFRICAN

All products in the Veldskoen shoes range are manufactured in South Africa.

Vellies recently partnered up with local carrier Lift Airlines, to ensure that its flight crews are kitted out in comfortable footwear every day.
