| The veldtschoen (trans. ‘bush shoe’) was developed by the Dutch Voortrekkers and Pioneers. It was a rough shoe made of raw |
|
| gamehide, invented by necessity on the long trek northwards into Africa. Of an unusually outward flanged construction, the upper was hand sewn to the sole and insole to create an extremely comfortable weather-proof boot, impervious to bush thorns, the bite of snake or insect, and the rugged terrain: highly individual and practical footwear. |
|
| Today’s veldtschoen remains unchanged from its original concept, but benefits from the modern advantages of innovative shoe making. Designed specifically for the African veld, Courteney boots are expensive, hand made, genuine gameskin veldtschoens, double stitched for extra strength. |
