⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Outstanding quality, comfort, and craftsmanship
I couldn’t be happier with my Freestyle Zambezi Unisex Premium Leather Urban Vellies. From the moment I took them out of the box, the quality was obvious. The leather is thick, premium, and beautifully finished, yet surprisingly soft and comfortable from day one, no painful “break-in” period at all.
The fit is spot on, the stitching is solid, and the overall craftsmanship feels built to last. These shoes strike the perfect balance between rugged and refined: tough enough for daily wear, yet smart enough to pair with jeans or chinos for a more polished look. Comfort-wise, they’ve been exceptional. I’ve worn them for long days without any discomfort, and the sole offers great support and grip. You can tell real thought went into the design, not just the look.
On top of that, the ordering and delivery process was smooth and professional. It’s refreshing to support a proudly South African brand that clearly cares about quality and customer experience. Highly recommended, I’ll definitely be back for another pair.

Amazing Quality & Fantastic Service
I work out in the veld every day, and my Freestyle leather vellies have handled it all with incredible comfort and durability. The quality is outstanding, and the customer service I received was just as impressive. Shopping local truly makes a difference highly recommended!
Lovely shoe for my husband, he cannot be happier, though the sizing was very far from standard sizing. My husband is a standard size 9 UK (size 43 EU) and we had to order a size 8, which fits perfect on his feet. Had a bit of trouble with the return but the problem was with the courier company and Freestyle made quick work of rectifying the issue.
Overall, we'll be happy to order from Freestyle in the future!
Had the plakkies for less than a week and the stitching on the left one came undone where the toe straps meet. Contacted Freestyle to request this be addressed/remedied and have received no feedback. Not happy with quality especially given the price paid.
