More about this item
I am the boot and shoemaker at Poor Boy Soles Bespoke Shoe Co. For years (started in 2003), I wanted to design my own monkey boot. Going "pro" seven (and a bit) years ago, I had the opportunity to create my own pattern and build these beautiful boots on a set of vintage 1928 Munson style wood lasts.See background
Why I own this
As a boot maker, I always wanted to design my own Monkey Boot. I had the opportunity to do so after "going pro" seven years (and a bit) ago and waited for a few years before producing them, waiting for the right leather, sole and heel combination.
How I sized
As the boot maker, I took the necessary measurements and then selected the last from my collection.
Ordering process
It was pretty simple. I asked myself, "Self, is it time to make these kick ass boots?" and surprisingly, my answer was, "Yes, yes, it is. Also, a pastrami sandwich would be nice..."
