These boots have been made from the same leather we used on the ‘Big Shot’ boots. That leather is supper soft, and will also take a good polish. This means you can get a great aged look. The soft leather means as well, these will require a lot less wearing in.
These are new cut on the Monkey Boot design. Notice on the close up pics the Jaggered edge. This detail you will find on Monkey boots, made by other English companies for 2 to 3 times the price. Also you have to order and wait for them, sometime a year !
The Sole is a rubber, and of course very similar to make we cant say here ! But as you can guess, very hard wearing, comfortable, and last ages.
The colour on these, is very very nice, and have done our best in the pics, but these look much better in real life !
These boots are made for us, but the same people that make the Shelby, which get lots of fav reviews.
I have worn mine with Jeans and a suit ! They are very versatile boot. It also provided a great alternative for the Hard Mod, late 60s skin look.

I’ve been after a good pair of monkey boots for ages and have had a pair of the Grafters ‘heritage’ version which are ok for the money but wanted a much smarter pair. I’ve ummed and ahhed over these for a long time and the photo’s on the website really don’t do these beauties justice. The leather is lovely and soft and needs no wearing in at all. The sole – obviously similar to another well known brand of ‘air included’ soles is lovely and comfortable. The design is another plus for me – sufficiently recognisable to those in the know as a monkey boot but sufficiently different to make them suitable for smarter wear too. I can’t believe I was looking at the Fred Perry x George Cox ones over these for some time. The serrated edges of these boots really add the extra touch. Buy them over similarly (and higher) priced alternatives – I don’t think you’ll be disappointed

I’m an average sized 8 foot size and these monkey boots fit me perfectly from the off. Comfy from the off no need to wear them in or problems with any rubbing till the uppers softened up like I’ve had with other brands in the past.

I bought these monkey boots to replace a pair by that well known brand with bouncing soles that I’d been wearing for years. These boots are much nicer. The price is better as is the quality. Really comfy straight from the box and a good true fit. They look like they’ll weather-in really nicely over time. Very swift delivery from Mod Shoes with great tracking from order placement to delivery.

A fantastic looking boot and it actually fits.
I have very wide size 9 feet and the 10 in this is a perfect fit.
I am usually disappointed in boots as nothing nice fits but now I can look sharp and actually walk.
The service is second to none as well, i messed up my delivery address and was contacted almost instantly to correct it
