More about this item

I bought these as a work boot as my first pair on the mandrill last really make my feet feel awesome. The maryam horsebutt is a bit heavier leather which will wear harder. I wanted something classic and yet different which is why i went with this particular style. My feet love their boots.

Why did you choose this item?

Style

I chose the monkey boots as they have a good feel on my odd shaped and different lengths of feet. I like a walking heel for work and solid feel for ankle support. Having ordered a pair of monkeys from the same maker previously, they had my shape and size dialed in. The first pair were in shinki horse black teacore, and I wanted a pair of them in horse leather again, but wanted something more robust and went with the maryam olive horsebutt on the makers suggestion. It is tough stuff and only in the last 6 weeks did it start to really age. Break in was about 4 weeks of daily wear.

Foot Tracing

No mods to the mandrill last. It has a shorter ball to toe ratio. This suits my 13D brannock very well.
