Casually Formal
Is it a Shoe? Is it a Vellie? No! It’s the SHOELLIE
We were after an option that can be worn with shorts for those casual Fridays and come the weekend worn with some chinos for your best friend’s wedding. We blended the standard upper of a chukka boot in with the low cut of a formal shoe and found the perfect balance between casual and smart. Our wide fitting lasts weren’t going to make the cut for that wedding you going to attend, so we added in our new standard width last to give you that touch of fashion you after. This is all topped off with our Oringo wedge sole which has quickly become a much sought after option.
Finally a footwear option where formal meets casual meets durability. The SHOELLIE.
- Manufactured with a single layer of 2.2mm Oily Nubuck leather.
- A steel shank between the insole board and sole offers extra support and stability.
- Thermoplastic toe puff and a heel stiffener for extra support.
- Midsole is secured to the upper with a double stitched 2.2mm braided nylon cord.
- Sole is made from a genuine soft rubber compound offering extra comfort.
- This boot can be re-soled.
- ASHM last – This is a deceivingly narrow in look last but still offers the traditional D width wide fit with a slightly tapered toe box(for those with wide feet or wearing thick socks we suggest going a half size up from your normal Jim Green size).
- Sole: OR (This sole is designed for a combination of grip, comfort, and speed. It is a genuine rubber and of a softer feel to provide comfort under foot).
- Laces: 100 cm.
- Weight: 1.1 kg (Size 8 US).
- 100% Made in South Africa.

my take on the Shoellie in housten brown
so I own my Shoellies for about 8 months now.
[...]first off all i wear a size 9 the razorback and african ranger and JG i spot on to suggest going half a size up. luckily i could try the number 9 in a shop and it was uncomfortable small so i ordered a 9 1/2 and its a perfect fit.
they do everything jim green claims and better. i now often leave my african rangers at home and farm, hunt and guide rather with the Shoellies.
Thanks to JG for putting a shank in this shoe, it makes it so much better in my opinion.
The oringo wedge sole performs ideal here in the Northern Cape sand,
however something to remember, the oily leather attracts sand and dust like crazy, I solved that problem by cleaning off the oil with nubuk cleaning and giving them a light coat of normal polish and then shining the shoes. this gives them a really nice and unique appearance, i wish i could post a picture.
very happy

I’m just received my Shoellies in the post and I’m very pleased with them indeed – they are made with excellent materials, the leather is fantastic. The ASHM last is great too, I went up to a 12.5UK from my usual 12UK in dress shoes and they fit perfectly. They feel robust and will last for years. I cant wait to see how the shoe adapts to my feet over time.
I think the heel counter could do with a little more structure to prevent heel slippage – I appreciate the leather softens and moulds to the shape of your foot, but I cant put custom insoles in without my heel slipping around when I walk. Not quite so much an issue with the Jim Green insoles. That’s my only non-positive comment.
All in all great value for money for excellent shoes. Even with the shipping costs to the UK.

The most comfortable shoes right out of the box. This ASHM last has the perfect toebox for me. Although if I may make a suggestion, carving out a slight concavity of the sole at the medial aspect of the midfoot would make the overall shape just a little sleeker without sacrificing any comfort or fit.
[...]The shoes feel like real quality and look forward to wearing them in the office and casually for years to come.
Please offer other shoes like the African Ranger or Vellies in the ASHM last as standard fare! I am sure they would be popular options. High boots like the Baobab are too hot for my equatorial climate.

These are the most comfortable vellies I’ve ever worn and they look good too! I wear a fudge shoellie when I’m out in the field and a brown shoellie when I go out to dinner. Sometimes I forget that I’m even wearing shoes…

I like the shoes and they look durable.

The perfect shoe. Suitable for the office, formal events and outdoors. Smart and durable, it is hard to think of a better product than the Shoellie.
