The Field Ethos African Vellie is made in Africa...by Africans. We worked with legendary African boot maker, Jim Green Footwear, to bring our version of the perfect Vellie to life. We took Jim Green’s existing design and reinforced key areas with thicker leather. Then we reshaped the toe, changed the sole and altered the stitching to bring you a truly indestructible boot that performs as well in the street as it does when you’re running for your life in the African bush.
