What does 33.8 mean?

Feet were never meant to be trapped.

33.8 represents the natural rhythm of the Earth — a reminder to move more naturally, reconnect with the ground beneath you and slow things down a little. That idea sits at the core of every Sapmok Barefoot: natural movement, natural balance, natural connection.

Why people switch to barefoot

  • Natural movement

    Encourages a more natural walking pattern by allowing your feet to flex, stabilise and move properly.

  • Stronger feet

    Flexible soles activate muscles in your feet and lower body that traditional shoes ignore.

  • Better balance & posture

    More ground feel means better awareness, stability and natural posture throughout the day.

  • Wide toe box comfort

    Your toes finally get space to spread naturally instead of being squeezed together all day.

  • Lightweight & breathable

    Stays flexible and breathable while being durable enough for South African terrain.

Transitioning? If your feet have spent years inside stiff, cushioned shoes, start gradually — wear your barefoot shoes for shorter periods at first and increase over time as your feet strengthen.

Years of searching. One jacket. Last run.

Rain was part of the plan.

The Atlas waterproof jacket is built with dimpora® BIO, a membrane developed in Switzerland that challenges the idea that high performance has to start with fossil chemistry. More than 60% biobased and designed for real-world use, so you stay dry without feeling wrapped in plastic.

Our farewell · We are Sapmok

Ethical, conscious and quality products for a better future.

"What a ride it's been. Sapmok was one epic adventure, and the best part was always you: the people who rocked our shoes, chased the outdoors with us, and walked every step of the way. We never took a single one of you for granted. The shelves are clearing, the last pairs are finding their feet, and there's no restock coming. If you get your pair — wear them hard, and send us the photos from the trail. Baie dankie."

How our vellies are made

Locally designed and crafted shoes that are both stylish and functional — with ethical, sustainable sourcing at every step.

  1. 01

    Local leather, byproduct only

    Our leather is a byproduct of local farming and agriculture, sourced from South African suppliers.

  2. 02

    Vegetable tanned

    Treated with natural, organic materials instead of harsh chemistry, so the leather ages beautifully.

  3. 03

    Handmade in Pretoria

    Stitched and finished by local hands, quality-checked every day, and backed by a 6-month warranty.

  4. 04

    Revive to survive

    Well-loved pair? We refurbish your shoes so you can keep enjoying them instead of buying new.

Let customers speak for us

Worn hard. Loved harder.

★★★★★

These are an absolute game-changer. All the freedom and natural feel of going barefoot, but with your feet protected. Comfortable, rugged, brilliantly designed and addictive to wear.

Chelsea Barefoot
★★★★★

Have been rocking these guys every day in the bush, from rainy conditions to all forms of mud. Definitely the most comfortable guiding shoes I have owned. They handle the terrain at Nambiti super well.

Field guide · Brakner Vellie
★★★★★

After realising barefoot shoes decrease the pain I feel after a long Sunday of preaching, I moved to this boot and what a difference. Apart from being beautiful, I'm in so much less pain than before.

Chelsea Barefoot
★★★★★

Comfortable and classy and fit for any Springboks supporter. Just love my Sapmoks.

Leonie Vellie
★★★★★

Efficient delivery. The shoe is comfortable and soft, can be worn the whole day. Suitable for so many different occasions.

Gloria Vellie
★★★★★

I love this shoe. So many people have asked me where I got it. It's a winner!

Leonie High Top
★★★★★

Best vellies you will ever buy. Smooth transition from the order to the delivery, with ongoing communication and feedback.

Brakner Vellie
★★★★★

The patches apply really well and are very sturdy!

Before you grab your pair

Questions, answered.

Still unsure? Pop us a message at info@sapmok.com and we'll sort you out.

Is Sapmok really closing down?

Yes. After one epic adventure, we're closing our doors. Vellies, jackets, bags and kids' ranges have sold out — the Barefoot trainer (men's and ladies', White, Olive and Black) is the last line in stock, at 25% off. There will be no restock.

What's left, and how much is it?

The Sapmok Barefoot trainer in White, Olive and Black — men's UK 7–13 and ladies' UK 3–8, every size in stock right now — at $90.75 instead of $121. Once a size sells out, it's gone for good.

Are your shoes really made in South Africa?

Almost all of them, yes. Our vellies, bags, socks, boots and our Chelsea Barefoot are proudly made right here in SA. Our other barefoot shoes are made in China — we tried hard to find a local supplier who could make them to our standards, and we're still looking. Know one? Drop us an email.

What are barefoot shoes?

Minimalist design, flexible soles, wide toe boxes and zero-drop support. Barefoot shoes recreate the natural feeling of walking barefoot while protecting your feet for everyday life and South African terrain — supporting better balance, flexibility, posture and foot strength.

What size must I choose?

Follow our sizing guide — it explains how to measure yourself accurately. Different styles may size slightly differently, so review the specific sizing notes for each product, or reach out to our team for help.

How long does delivery take?

In-stock products arrive within 3–7 working days including processing, packaging and shipping. If your size isn't in stock, allow a lead time of 20–25 working days for manufacturing and quality checks. We'll keep you updated by email.

Do your vellies last?

Ja, they're made to. Strong leather, proper stitching and tough soles — and our team checks quality every day. Every product carries a 6-month manufacturing warranty, and if a pair doesn't live up to our name, we replace it. Simple as that.

Why TPR soles and not rubber?

TPR (thermoplastic rubber) is flexible, lightweight and tough — perfect for barefoot shoes because it moves naturally with your foot. It doesn't crack easily, handles wear like a champ, and it's recyclable. It works for your feet and for the planet.

Can I try before I buy?

We've got stockists around SA, and you can visit us in Pretoria. Pop us a message and we'll point you to the closest spot.
