Grasshoppers Mens Boots | Griffin Brown

The Grasshopper Griffin Brown Veldskoen is more than just a visually iconic shoe, Grasshoppers have become a staple for South Africans due to their unparalleled comfort. Designed for long hours of wear—whether at work, school, or play—and crafted in a timeless shoemaking tradition, they are made to last. We take pride in merging tradition with innovation and supporting skilled local artisans and contributing to the preservation of traditional shoemaking techniques.

Veldskoen (Stitch-Down) Construction

This technique is one of the oldest and most successful methods of shoe-making, characterised by its durable and flexible design. The stitch-down construction involves stitching the upper directly through the insole, resulting in a shoe that is both sturdy and comfortable. You can easily identify these shoes by their flanged uppers, visible stitching around the bottom edge of the last, and the exposed, trimmed edges that reveal the various layers of the upper, insole, and sole.

Features:

Upper: Rogue Leather

Sole: TR

Style: Lace Up

How to Care For Your Grasshoppers

To care for your Grasshopper shoes, use leather shampoo to clean dirt and debris. Wipe with a damp cloth, then let dry. Apply leather conditioner to hydrate and restore shine. Avoid colored polish; instead, buff with a dry cloth, preferably microfiber, to remove excess solution and enhance shine without scratching the leather.
