“People are moving away from mass consumerism and they are starting to appreciate products that are handmade with love. Sourced locally and made locally. The Real Leather and sheep’s wool. As you say it’s got an adventurous.”

“Gurmuki are the first in the world to introduce barefoot (Zero-drop) Vellies. This therefore allows benefits such as anatomically correct toe spreading, encourage natural widening of the feet, contribute to the restoration of spinal alignment, increased muscle activation/use therefore increased lower limb syrength, improved balance, breathable, durable, sustainable, improves circulation. Now who wouldn’t dream of owning a pair of ‘wonder shoes’…” 👞

“I love the fact that they were comfortable from day one the first time I pit them on. They are also the best travelling companions seeing as I am a size 12, shoes generally take up a lot of space, with my Gurmuki’s this is not the case. These are so easy to pack and made it easy to rock my style even in Europe now. I love the barefoot, and I love being able to feel grounded, and I absolutely love all of this in a vellie!! Thanks Gurmuki! Can’t wait for more in the range…”

“Gurmuki is not just a clothing brand. It’s a lifestyle. In a society where everything has been so fast-paced and fast fashioned, Gurmuki is a brand that still appreciates handmade with love. The quality and craftsmanship are unbeatable. So much love and time goes into making garments that are made with leather. You know the quality is there. Sometimes, it’s just nice to relax, take a step back, and appreciate the world we live in while wearing a pair of Gurmuki shoes.”

“I love that Gurmuki is proudly South African and gives a unique twist to barefoot shoes. It’s authentic to our Afrikaans culture while also keeping up with the barefoot health trend.”

“I love the soft leather and the wideness of the shoe over the foot that makes it comfortable to wear the whole day long for people with a high bridge, colour doesn’t matter that much but the comfort and the affordability of the shoes makes it worth a second look.”

“They look beautiful. Like someone took time to make sure they didn’t just look different. You know you will feel good wearing them when you see them. Beautiful things do that for me, they make me feel like I am the man I think I am. Thank you.”

“Firstly, trying to say your name out loud, it’s pretty fun. Secondly, that there is finally a decent option for a work shoe that is zero drop. I have been looking for an affordable pair suitable for work, but have only found active solutions. The fact that these are practical and attractive are a double win!”

“Gurmuki embodies the spirit of South Africa—innovative, inclusive, and deeply connected to its roots. Supporting Gurmuki means investing in our community and celebrating the craftsmanship that makes our nation unique. That’s what truly sets Gurmuki apart.”

“Proudly South African and close to my hometown of Paarl. Materials sourced locally! You are all about quality, love, mother nature. Experienced staff who love what they do. Wide variety of shoes. Good quality and very unique.”

“The best thing about my vellies is the soft leather, they are very comfy and I also love the stylish buckle. I would definitely buy a red pair if they were the new colour – then I’d just need to decide on a style (0r two).”

“I love that Gurmuki filled the gap in the market for barefoot vellies and that they’re proudly South African just like me! Having been a barefoot enthusiast for years, normal vellies feel like my feet are being squashed. Now I can wear them all day long without feeling like my feet need to take a break. Thanks guys!”

“I LOVE and Adore Gurmuki because of the quick delivery after ordering and the uniqueness of their products. I love the honesty of the company and knowing you will receive you purchase after paying. Thank you for being a Trustworthy company with very well made shoes and boots.”

“I have a pair of Gurmuki Tribal boots which I bought way back. There are actually 2 reasons why I love them: 1. The service of the team. Sonja and the team modified my Gurmuki to fit better with a personal drop off. 2. I wear my Gurmuki’s everytime when possible. They are rugged, comfortable and stylish. My Tribal Boots are the best when on an outdoor camping trip as well as at home.”

“What excites me most about Gurmuki is their focus on natural comfort and quality in South African footwear. Their “barefoot” Vellies offer a flexible, natural feel that many people appreciate, and their commitment to using local, durable materials like kudu leather speaks to quality and sustainability. It’s fascinating how they blend traditional craftsmanship with a design that really speaks to those who value stylish, well-made footwear.”

“I think that “Eyecatching” is the word because I always gets compliment from both sexes whenever I wear my vellies, “Comfort” should be right upthere with eyecatching because you can walk miles without feeling any discomfort, “Funky” should also be mentioned, “With-It “also and overall “fantasmagoric” I just love my Gurmuki`s.”

“Why do I like Gurmuki vellies? Because they’re a party for your feet, the ultimate combination of comfort, style, and pure character! They’ve got that “I’m casual, but I also mean business” vibe that just works everywhere. With their unique patterns and colors, they make every outfit feel a bit more adventurous, and with their “look-at-me” attitude, they make sure you never leave a room unnoticed. They’re like the friend who’s always up for anything. You can’t help but feel a bit happier every time you look down at your feet. Plus, they make the perfect conversation starter—who wouldn’t want to talk about a pair of shoes with that much personality?”

“Kudos and Kudu leather. Before today I did not know about Gurmuki, so kudos (or kudu’s) to your marketing team. What struck me immediately was the vintage yet modern style of your vellies – not the modern leather shoes identifying as vellies – but old school style. I like the stitching on the vellie, giving it an authentic look. But most I love that it is made of kudu leather, which is durable yet soft and foot-friendly, and proudly local South African.”

“I am not just able to name one thing i love most about Gurmuki. They have so many great things about them for example they have a wide collection of products that fit everyones needs. They supply the best quality products and we look good while wearing them. Who would not want to support local and own a product that will last you for a lifetime. Gurmuki tells us what their shoes represent: “Uniqueness,Reverence for Life and an adventurous spirit”, and what i love about them is they are 100% genuine and strong just like their leather and products.”
