Veldskoen men’s original desert chukka boot is ethically and sustainably handcrafted with locally sourced, premium materials from South Africa. These ultra-comfy boots are made with genuine locally sourced water-resistant suede leather. The leather is sourced from a local tannery just outside of Cape Town. It is run by and employs the local community. They use a full-grain Proteus suede 1.8/2.0mm sustainably and ethically harvested as a byproduct from a meat tannery.
