Product Description
The model of the Monkeys first appeared in the Czechoslovakian army during WWII. The boots were light and strong. Ready for combat. In the early sixties the Monkey boots were adopted by the mods (or modernists); a subculture with a focus on jazzmusic and fashion. The punks adopted them in the late 70s and up until now, the Monkeys are a welcome model on the streets. A pair of selvedge denim and some casual Monkeys are a killer combo. We introduce the Monkey Boots in vegetable tanned leather. Cheers, the Butts and Shoulders team.

Na een maand vrijwel dagelijks gebruik.
Erg mooi product. Eenmaal aangedaan en nooit meer uitgedaan! Zaten van het begin af aan nagenoeg als gegoten. Geen blaren o.i.d. Wel drukte de bovenkant nogal tegen het enkelbot aan, wat het lopen oncomfortabel maakte. Uiteindelijk de veters bovenaan wat losser gelaten of de bovenste ‘oogjes’ overgeslagen. Dat hielp. Ik neem aan dat het leer nog wat tijd nodig heeft om zich naar de vorm van de voet te vormen. En het lijkt erop dat het Portugese leer over het algemeen wat stugger is dan bijvoorbeeld Italiaans of Spaans leer. Ach, het voelt in ieder geval degelijk.
Minder degelijk zijn de veters. Binnen twee weken vormden al scheuren en nu zijn ze binnen een maand tijd bij normaal gebruik al gebroken.

Great fit on my slightly wider foot from the off. Usually go for a uk 10.5 though these 10’s are a snug fit with plenty of room for toe movement, gentle also on my outer metatarsal joint (although I’ve started to wear protective cushioning at these points which I find helpful. I should say my recommended B&S size at a 29cm foot length was 9, however I think that would have been too small noting my slightly wider foot. In terms of breathability, not too hot and not too cold, and liking them with a more slim fit jean. Looking forward to seeing how they stand up over time.

I was not sure about the sizing because I normally need them in extra wide. My Red Wing size is 10.5 (US) EE. I choose the Monkeys in 10.5 (UK) = 11 (US) and this was the right decision, Perfect Fit.

5⭐️ Rating, what more to say! This boot is awesome! The leather is great, the finish is as expected! Perfect! The fit is comfy. No thicker socks needed to wear them in. So that’s the boot. Then there is the customer service. If you have any questions about it, the chat option brings you to chat with the CEO. I had a great experience. Great craftsmanship! Will tell everyone about it! Well deserved! Mark
