Horrible from start to finish, garbage.

My dream boot in a beautiful color that came early in my boot journey.

Unusually styled, surprisingly comfortable—Trickers’ Dominic Monkey Shoe stands out without shouting
Tricker's Ethan Monkey Boot in Trickers Dark Brown FunchalBy Florianfloorwalker • May 7, 2025"Use & Wear:

They get light use, but enough to get a feel for them...."Read the full review

I received these boots on March 11. After a month, they’re now comfortable. I tried a thin leather/cork insole at first, but after a week I didn’t need it anymore.
