Every Child needs to explore and build memories with their Veldties

As a mother and paediatric physiotherapist my heart is for children and their development. My desire is to ensure that from a young age ALL children, have access to PROPER footwear to ensure adequate gait, balance and coordination development.

As a mother and therapist I strongly believe barefoot is best for growing little feet, but is not always feasible. The commercialised market is over crowded with stiff, uncomfortable, trip hazard and sometimes just too-heavy-to-be-able-to-walk children shoes.

Our Veldties soft sole shoes provide the ideal package:

• The ability for toes to move freely
• Feeling of a "second skin" and closest resemblance to barefoot walking
• 100% Genuine leather for moisture absorbency
• Ethically and responsibly made with added durability

Veldties name originate from the rich grasslands of South Africa called ‘veld’ (pronounced /vɛlt/) in our native Afrikaans language, or “field” in English. The name was chose to resemble veld of our young ones. And so Veldties (pronounced /vɛltis/) was born!

Our factory are committed to the lives of our craftsmanships, their families and livelihoods. The craftsmen are paid a fair wage.

You can rest assure when your little one wears our shoes, not only will they feel comfortable but also support families in need.
