Forgot I even had these. Looking to take these out on their maiden voyage this week so put on some polish to get them ready. Tried to darken the boots overall a bit, might look to darken them more but I guess il see how they look when I take them out.

I confess that I never gave any consideration to Zonkey Boot because of the ridiculous name. But I just browsed some of their selection and wow, some nice looking footwear. What a nice collection of Russian reindeer especially.

The name is kinda goofy, but their lasts are very attractive and their makes ups are all attractive.

They have a lot of nice *bold* styles without them being garish.

I never thought their name was silly, there’s definitely sillier names out there, but their sailor last and Jodhpur pattern are very distinctive.

gorgeous, there’s just something about their jodhpurs, I love them.


I think that their double strap Jodhpur boot is one of the best I have ever seen. Their Classic and Sailor last both feel perfect with the style.

Not as big of a fan of their single strap, but it is also pretty solid.

we are in agreement, I like the 273 particularly in that Bavarian calf, but I do prefer the two strap.

I just wish ZB wasn't so expensive because I'd buy so many of their products. Maybe if my collection was smaller, I could justify more expensive pickups, but a standard calf/suede shoe/boot that costs $800-1000+ is unsustainable for someone of my financial status, haha.

Like dang, the 033 navy suede chelsea boots would be a collection staple for me, but after shipping and adding their lasted shoe trees, it would be $1000. I also have to do the "wait 5 months to get them" since I wear their H-fit lasts.

ZB are pricey, that blue suede has been on my list for years, Every time I’m reminded of them, I’ve always been in the process of getting a pricey pair from some other maker. I must admit though, this is the one brand I will spend freely to get pairs. When I first started on this shoe fetish back in the day, it’s the first maker that seduced me to drop a band on them.
