Crafted with precision from Shinki Hikaku horsebutt leather, these John Lofgren Bootmaker Monkey Boots offer a blend of style and rugged performance. Built on the 140 last for a comfortable fit, they feature Goodyear welted construction, ensuring durability and resilience. The visually stunning leather ages beautifully, adapting to your foot over time. With tough Vibram cork soles and a sleek 6" shaft, these boots are perfect for both work and casual outings, delivering unmatched quality and craftsmanship.
From the brand: John Lofgren's 140 last runs large, we recommend sizing down one full size from your standard Brannock measurement. Consider a half size if you have a very wide foot or high instep.
John Lofgren Bootmaker Monkey Boots are the ultimate in lace-to-toe style and ruggedness. In the USA, the lace-to-toe boot is often associated with linemen and roofers; in Europe, they're known for their military heritage. The John Lofgren Bootmaker take on the classic Monkey Boot balances style with comfort, not to mention they're built like a brick house. All aspects of construction and materials were thoughtfully considered.
The horsebutt leather was developed by Shinki Hikaku tannery in Japan. This company specializes in horsehide leather tanning and is considered one of the best, if not the best, tanneries in the world. The horsebutt will feel a little stiff initially but will soon relax and form around your foot. The leather is visually stunning, with always an attractive grain to admire.
