Caleb is the original intrepid scout boot made in Cape Town by our skilled craftsmen with premium full-grain leathers and soft calfskin linings and padded ankle support. Built on our trendy Baobab wedge sole this boot offers supreme fit and comfort. A must for the urban hiker.
The Caleb Ethically Handcrafted Premium Leather Urban Hiker exceeded my expectations in every way. The moment you put them on, you can feel the quality, solid construction, rich leather, and a finish that speaks to careful, ethical craftsmanship.
What really stands out is the comfort. Despite the rugged hiker profile, they’re incredibly well balanced and supportive, making them ideal for long days on your feet. The sole is sturdy with excellent grip, while still being flexible enough for everyday urban wear. No stiffness, no hotspots, just comfort from the start.
Design-wise, these boots are versatile and timeless. They pair effortlessly with casual or smart-casual outfits and feel just as appropriate in the city as they would on rougher terrain. You can tell they were designed with real-world use in mind, not just looks.
The overall buying experience with Freestyle SA was seamless and professional, and it’s great to support a brand that prioritises ethical production without compromising on quality.
A standout product from a proudly South African brand, highly recommended and definitely worth the investment.

I ordered the wrong size, and when I contacted them, they corrected it for me, very helpful. Great service and quality shoes.

Good, with a few issues
I love my boots - they were tight at first, because they're a narrow fit. After about a week and a half of wearing them every day, they became pretty comfortable.
3 months down the line, they've become really comfortable.
The eyelets have also begun to rust. I live on the coast, so that may have had a part to play.
One thing I wish the boot had was keeper loops on the tongue. They slip to the side if I don't tie my laces tight enough, and I don't always want them that tight.
These boots are amazing! I received mine three days before departing for New York City. My feet were warm, dry and comfortable in -8°C and snow. I'm definitely buying another pair in a different colour for winter in SA. I don't want to wear anything else.
