Monkey Boots

Monkey boots are a specific style of lace-to-toe boot that became popular among mod and skinhead subcultures in the United Kingdom and American workers. Variations of monkey boots exist across the world. The two most popular and well-known variations are the style of monkey boot popular in the United Kingdom in the 60's and 70's, and the style of monkey boot designed by workwear companies in the US such as Endicott-Johnson, Red Wing, and Thorogood. The monkey boots popular in the UK are known for their unique "tractor-tread" outsoles, yellow laces, and typically brown, black, or oxblood leather, while the monkey boots produced by American work boot companies are known for their distinctive lace-to-toe construction designed for a more secure fit.
