And, therefore, desert boots, despite the knockers.

Got rid of the yellow laces , went over the yellow stitching with boot oxblood polish and put some comfy insoles in the Blighters. .

They always gave off a medieval vibe to me with the cut, eyelets and suede material, dunno why.

I ain't through with you by a damn sight. I'ma get medieval on your ass.

I have fancied a pair of the black ones too but l have never seen them in real life and in pictures they have a plasticy look. .

I also like the look of the ones that MOdshoes do with a leather sole , they look smart. .

Mine dont look that plasticky, at least to me anyway

Btw few weeks ago, I saw tv reportage about Brexit. There was interview with local shoe manufacturer Flexiko who is making "working boots(!?)" called Monkey boots for customer based near London. The customer made last huge order because he don't know what will happen after the Brexit, so there is possibility we will lose original Grafter Monkey's thanks to Brexit.

There is much propaganda about GB leaving the Union that is Europe. Remember the mass panic over the " millennium bug" , world coming to an end etc. .?

I don't think we can get into politics on these pages but suffice to say the UK public were tricked into voting yes to the EEC in 1975 . Now despite saying they want to leave what insidiously became a Union, parliament have other ideas . .

I know, the possibility of WW3 will be higher if you really leave EU

Black ones don’t look any less plasticky than oxblood ones. I have both. And a pair of Clark’s desert boots as well. Had em about 5 years ( desert boots I mean) so comfy.
Use monkey boots for work.
