Personalmente las
monkey boots las asocio a los
skinhead de los años 80's, un poco como las
Dr. Marteen, por lo que no me atraen. Su horma también me recuerda la de una zapatilla tipo
"Stan Smith", en piel y con cuello...
ORIGINAL MONKEY BOOTS
"Monkey boots were originally worn by the Czechoslovakian Army in World War 2. These amazing lightweight boots allowed infantry to move swiftly and easily, the high lace up meant that the boots wrapped around the soldiers foot and provided security around the ankle. The thick tread soles provided grip regardless of the terrain and lasted for absolutely ages. Leather uppers allowed the soldiers feet to breathe easily whilst simultaneously having natural water resisting properties. A traditional monkey boot will come with 7 eyelets.
Monkey boots crept in to the United Kingdom in the 70's and 80's and it was the MOD culture that made them into a fashion statement. Monkey boots accompanied the rise of punk and mod culture, adapting perfectly to festival or dance floor. Because of the durability of the monkey boot it became a staple among workmen which helped to progress it's appeal to a mass market."
"The punks adopted them in the late 70s and students have for forty years opted for their cheap chic. They are no longer worn by either the Czech or the Slovak armies but are still produced and sold by a company called Tuk. They are very popular with retro skinhead and goth groups in the USA and although never as popular as the DM, when worn with Levis and a Harrington jacket they have an incomparable and timeless street style – all for about £30."
