Church Vintage Smooth Leather Monkey Boots

Details

Created by looking into Dr. Martens archive for design inspiration, these styles have been replicated to look as they were when first manufactured. The specification on leather, colour and method of manufacture is precise. A more traditional biscuit-backed leather has been used and colour-matched to archive samples that came out of the factory in the earlier days of Dr. Martens. The last shape is shallower and the sole colour has also been altered to match the older shade. Laces are flat and cotton, exact copies of the original versions found.

The 5 Eyelet Monkey Boot Vintage Smooth is a retro version of our signature smooth leather with a subtle grained effect and contrast base colour. This is a Goodyear-welted product meaning the upper and sole are heat-sealed and sewn together, not merely glued like many footwear constructions. Dr. Martens air-cushion sole is oil and fat-resistant and offers good abrasion and slip resistance.

Upper:
100% Leather

Lining:
75% Textile, 25% Leather

Sole:
100% PVC

Material

Vintage Smooth leather is an antique take on our classic Smooth leather, with a contrasting base colour and more grainy detailing for a worn-in look.

Care Instructions

Clean away dirt using a damp cloth and allow to dry, then apply Dr.Martens Neutral or coloured wax polish as appropriate, using a Dr.Martens shoe brush, (Neutral can be applied to all colours). Allow to dry, then buff vigorously to desired shine using a second clean Dr.Martens shoe brush. (We advise to use 2 brushes per colour, one to add the polish and the second, clean dry brush, to buff up the leather for the best results).

Construction

This is a Goodyear-welted product. The upper and sole are heat-sealed and sewn together, not merely glued like many footwear constructions.
