LCV02 Monkey Boot

The LCV02 Monkey Boot features the classic monkey boot silhouette built on Onderhoud's Vulture last, characterized by a narrow heel that opens to a wider ball and tapered round toe. This sleek last profile creates the distinctive shape that defines the monkey boot style.

The LCV02 is available in premium leather options sourced from renowned tanneries. Popular choices include Maryam 1071 Coffee Brown Horse-butt leather and Badalassi Carlo Oliva overdyed leather. These high-quality materials are selected for their durability, character development, and ability to showcase the craftsmanship of the construction. Each leather option offers distinct characteristics in terms of grain, color depth, and aging properties.

The LCV02 is built on Onderhoud's Vulture last, which features a narrow heel that opens to a wider ball with a tapered round toe. For sizing, Onderhoud recommends ordering your true European size that corresponds to your Brannock measurement. For example, if you measure 8D on the Brannock device, order a size 41; if you measure 10.5D on Brannock, order a 43.5. This sizing approach ensures proper fit across the boot's distinctive shape.

Every LCV02 is individually hand-lasted and hand-welted by Rizky Afnan, with the maker describing his process as "hand-everythinged." The meticulous attention to detail results in consistent, borderline flawless stitching throughout each boot. The signature diagonal welt stitching pattern serves both functional and aesthetic purposes, creating a distinctive visual marker of Onderhoud's craftsmanship. Industry reviews consistently praise the construction quality as "very high class" with "simply fantastic work."

The LCV02 Monkey Boot is priced between $435-$750 USD depending on leather selection, with specific examples including $450 shipped worldwide for the Maryam Coffee Brown Horse-butt configuration and $750 for premium Badalassi Carlo leather specifications. Due to the handmade nature and limited production capacity, availability is managed through Onderhoud's Instagram (@onderhoud.handmade) via lottery system or first-come-first-served announcements when leather becomes available.

Orders are placed directly through Rizky's Instagram account, where he announces leather availability and accepts orders. The typical lead time is approximately 3 months due to the hand-construction process. Rizky is known for excellent customer communication and is described as "an absolute delight to work with" by customers who have ordered through the process.

The premium leathers used in LCV02 construction require appropriate care to maintain their appearance and structural properties. Regular conditioning, proper storage, and careful cleaning will preserve the leather's character while allowing natural patina development. The robust Veldschoen construction provides excellent durability when properly maintained.
