Corkette Lace Up – Genuine Cork 2-Hole Vellie

The Natural Choice: Corkette Lace Up Genuine Cork Shoes

Step into something truly different with the Corkette Lace Up. Often referred to as the “Cork Vellie,” this shoe is designed for the woman who appreciates sustainable materials and standout style. Cork is one of nature’s most remarkable materials—it is incredibly lightweight, naturally breathable, and surprisingly durable.¹ The Corkette Lace Up takes these natural benefits and wraps them in a timeless 2-hole lace-up design that provides a secure and highly adjustable fit for all-day wear.

Why Genuine Cork Footwear?

The natural texture and warmth of the Corkette Lace Up add a layer of sophistication to your wardrobe that leather or canvas simply cannot match. Because cork is a natural product, every single pair features a unique grain pattern, meaning your shoes are truly one-of-a-kind. One of the most exciting aspects of the Corkette Lace Up is how it ages; with proper care, the cork will develop a beautiful, rich patina over time, adding even more character and depth to the shoes the more you wear them.

Comfort and Versatility for Every Occasion

Whether you are dressing for a casual weekend braai or a more formal gathering, the Corkette Lace Up transitions seamlessly between styles. Its neutral, earthy tones make it one of our favorite versatile shoes for all seasons. The natural elasticity of cork provides a subtle “bounce” to your step, while the contoured interior ensures your feet stay comfortable during long hours of walking or standing. It is the perfect blend of South African tradition and modern material innovation.

Size Guide & Professional Fitting

To ensure your Corkette Lace Up feels as good as it looks, please refer to our measurement guide below. Cork has a slight natural give, so a proper initial fit is key.

How to Measure Your Foot:

1. Stand on a flat floor with your heels against a wall.

2. Place a ruler on the floor and measure in millimeters from the wall to the tip of your longest toe.

3. If your measurement is halfway between sizes, we recommend selecting the larger size for the best experience.

Caring for Your Cork Shoes

While cork is naturally water-resistant, it is a premium natural material that deserves care. To maintain the quality and appearance of your Corkette Lace Up, avoid exposing them to excessive water or direct sunlight for extended periods. If they get dusty, simply wipe them down with a soft, slightly damp cloth. For more information on maintaining unique footwear materials, you can explore this guide on General Shoe Care.
