Tarzan Shoes
Tarzan shoes are known for comfortable, quality, genuine leather footwear. Most of our manufacturing is still done by hand, and special treatment is given to each shoe. The founder and director of Tarzan Shoes, Johan Olde-Olthof, arrived in South Africa in May 1965 and decided to site his factory in the Tulbagh valley. In the beginning, this little operation was producing 50 pairs of shoes a day. They were made completely by hand. Through Johan’s determination, Tarzan Shoes was able to grow to a world renowned expert on quality South African leather shoes. Now our production is 750 pairs of shoes per day. We pride ourselves that the quality of our product is still the same—with only the highest grade leather used and most of the production still done by hand. Come and see for yourself the quality and price of Tarzan Shoes …
