Dr. Footers Monkey Lace To Toe Boots is a classic design of work boots
The Monkey boot has been around since the 40's with different cuts and uppers designs with the characteristic "lace-to-toe" boot opening construction:an extended laced opening from a minimized and otherwise bulbous toebox up to the the calf with numerous eyelets and strong speed hooks.
It was made for a very specific purpose: to give a high level of safety, durability and good feeling to Linemans doing their job on the top of the pole of the power lines or to Lumberjacks felling trees. Such particular climbing workers preferred a tightly fit around the feet, more closing fitting adjustment and a better feeling, and durable and protecting upper leather design.
