John Lofgren Monkey Boots offer the ultimate combination of lace-to-toe style and ruggedness. In the USA, lace-to-toe boots are often associated with linemen and roofers, while in Europe, they are known for their military heritage. John Lofgren Bootmaker's take on the classic Monkey Boot strikes a perfect balance between style and comfort, with a construction that's exceptionally sturdy. Every detail, from materials to craftsmanship, has been thoughtfully considered.

These exceptional boots are crafted from horsebutt leather sourced from the renowned Shinki Hikaku tannery in Japan, a leader in the art of horsehide leather tanning. Initially, the leather may feel slightly stiff, but it quickly molds to your foot, providing exceptional comfort. Its visual appeal is equally striking, showcasing a unique grain pattern that catches the eye. Shinki Hikaku preserves the natural character of the hide, leaving authentic marks—like bug bites or scratches from a sharp branch—intact. These natural imperfections are considered enhancements, adding a rich narrative to each hide.

John Lofgren Monkey Boots seamlessly blend comfort with refined toughness, making them versatile for various occasions and styles. Like all John Lofgren footwear, they are proudly made in Japan, ensuring unmatched quality in every pair.

John Lofgren Monkey Boots are available in a single E width. This last runs large and we recommend sizing down one full size from your standard US sneaker size or Brannock measurement. If you have wide feet, consider going down half a size. They fit similar to Viberg service boots (Lofgren Monkey boots size US9 = Viberg 9).

John Lofgren Bootmaker, founded by California native John Lofgren in Japan, seamlessly blends vintage-inspired designs with contemporary fits and superior materials. The brand's commitment to craftsmanship and the dedication of its Japanese artisans to mastering their craft set it apart in an industry often driven by profit.
