View media item 2293013New Shoe. Veldskoen are Southern African walking shoes made from vegetable-tanned leather or soft rawhide uppers attached to a leather footbed and rubber sole without tacks or nails.

Website looks brand new and has only 1 model showing with assorted sole colors. (not the one in your pic)

Are these just the same style or previous work by same maker?

These are just the same style. These used to be popular way back in the day in Southern Africa where I'm from. I want to bring them back with better leather and integrity.

I personally like them better with the rougher looking leather. The OP image could be improved with shoe trees. Good luck, will be interesting as the product line expands a bit.

Also probably worth posting pricing including shipping with this kind of question
