Why I own this

B4 getting into fine leather boots I was a Sneakerhead. Loved the idea of doing a build around a themed colorway and wanted to incorporate that into PNW boots. I had done a Joker themed boot at Frank's and was excited to hear they working on a new Monkey Boot. We had been harassing them for a MB for some time. My brother Nob made a concept for a Batman colorway(Black, grey, yellow) Monkey which these are based on. I supplied Frank's with the leathers n soles for this build. Wanted a leather that could have a Teacore effect for the Dome. Black Essex, grey leather with a black top coat, fit my needs. Also wanted to incorporate a little bit of white into this build. Went with the Ghost leather for the tongue n rolled top, Dr Soles raw corded soles. Dropped the heel to match the stance of my Nicks Prospectors, favorite feel. Appreciate Frank's allowing me to b a part of my boot build

How I sized

After wearing/owning couple pairs different size n width 77 lasts boots(#4 toes in general here in Spokane). No modifications to last

Customer Service

I live in Spokane n went in to their store. Showed them the concept n discussed specific details of my desired build. There was some begging, couple no's (dbl midsole), some compromise lol. Actualling waited as Frank's refined their MB design b4 ordering. Ordering was simple n easy once options where approved by Frank n Michelle. Very friendly staff n great customer service. Put $300 down n payed remainder upon pickup of completed boots.
