Please do not buy these boots. Live vicariously through my misfortune

Use & wear

Other

I was embarrassed to wear these in public, and I work with people who think sneaker sole oxfords are classy.

Leather

Brown Horsefront

You know how Tanneries will throw out leather that doesn’t meet their specifications? Whatever’s lower than that.

Fit

Custom Last: 8.5US Men's Brannock: 8.5E
Length Feels Right
Ball Feels Right
Too Much Volume
Not Satisfied with the Fit

Fit like the designer had never seen a boot or an ankle before.

Craftsmanship

The 2 Monkeys Vaudeville

First year design students build a boot, having never seen a boot before. It’s like if Brian the Bootmaker was Japanese.

Final thoughts

What a miserable pair of boots. The Sportif was so amazingly awesome that these probably would have been amazing also, right? Wrong. These things suck with a capital S. The facings curve towards themselves so the ankle will never fit right, they have a rhino horn ridge at the toe, behind the rhino ridge was an unnecessary amount of volume over the top of the foot so it caves in and makes a miserable depression. Garbage, 2 Monkeys should be embarrassed that this disaster exists.

I think these boots have matured in terms of patina, comfort. flexible, but strong enough
