The Velskoen
Have I mentioned this before? I am continually amazed at the popularity of the velskoen. Also called the desert shoe and the Macalister boot. Now seen everywhere but originally on the feet of boys from the plaas*.

It's very surreal walking into english shops and seeing 'fellies' -in all shapes and sizes here, including the original and some very clearly velskoen inspired shoes: e.g:heels: http://www.riverisland.com/Online/women/shoes--boots/boots/light-brown-ankle-boots-59944, and pink fellies:

d, I love those pink ones! It is so funny... but its really cool how we peeps from Southern Africa, and the lovely things we've created, pop in the most astounding places. It always makes me smile.
I hate those shoes!
I always knew them as Clark Wallabies, but regardless not a fan.
I can't say I'm a fan either... I think Clark Wallabies have more of a ridge though... although I'm not a fan of those either :)
Where can we buy them in Cape Town (in the city or waterfront area?)
Where to buy these in Cape Town (city proper...V&A Waterfront?)
