Description

The Tricker's x Division Road Super Monkey Boot is an exclusive pattern development in collaboration with the definitive maker of English Country footwear and uses C.F. Stead's Black Waxed Unicorn Elk leather for the upper paired with a natural leather storm welt and Vibram Morflex Christy sole to create a new, contemporary classic. C.F. Stead is known for making some of the world's finest waxed wild animal leathers. This Unicorn tannage consists of hand-selected, aniline-dyed elk hides that have a subtly sanded grain to a nubuck finish — revealing the remarkable grain characteristics unique to these wild animals — and are then treated with a subtle wax coating in the tanning process that yields a matte finish with an added layer of protection to an already robust, yet flexible leather. The Monkey Boot was initially designed pre-WWII as a general lace-to-toe pattern with various military-issue applications, from training footwear to infantry service boots. Popularized by mod, punk, and ska style cultures with original examples showing up in army surplus stores in the 50s through the 70s, Tricker's redesigned their version based on the vintage boots found and adopted by these alternative British music and style culture scenes. This exclusive Division Road pattern has been adapted for the new style era with a higher quarter and additional nickel eyelets. It is stripped of all its detailing to closely hallmark the original while relating to a more modern, street-casual aesthetic. The Super Monkey Boot's contemporary silhouette is achieved by using the 5402R Last, which has an urban dress shape with a rounded toe that accommodates a variety of foot types. Evolving the sneaker-boot design with a robust build, we used a natural leather storm welt atop the featherweight European-made Vibram Morflex Christy sole to yield a simple backstage-to-blacktop focused super boot that combines handgrade build-quality with a modern streetwear form. This boot has undergone 260 individual steps in which craftspeople use a mulling concoction to infuse the uppers with oils, a wooden shank, a corking compound from a century-old recipe, and exquisite English finishing. As England's oldest shoemaker, Royal warrant holder, originator of the country boot, and one of the first and few still utilizing traditional Goodyear welting to the highest standards of quality in the industry, a Tricker's truly is made to last a lifetime in all conditions.

Collection: Tricker's

Founded in 1829 by Joseph Tricker, Tricker’s is the longest established shoemaker in England approaching 200 years of quality footwear production and is recognized as the maker of choice for heavy country boots.

Barltrop propelled a second key innovation at Tricker’s when he introduced the Goodyear Welting machine at the turn of the 20th...
