Zonkey Boot Appreciation Thread

[ivancream]

I have pulled the trigger. My first pair of ZB. It was in my cart/eye for a lot of time and I’ve got something important to celebrate.

They are already with me.
I’m more than happy with them.
Very well executed, fits ok and what is more important for me They put a smile on my face when I tried them today.
in my opinion, They are on casual side of the dress shoes which is also important for me because with the pandemic and working from home I’m more a air max guy than a suit guy, which is what I was for the last 10 years?

How do they fit compared to other shoes you have?

 

[Zapasman]

Fit compared to EG Dover 606 that you have?

 

[ivancream]

I would say TTS. ZB Sailor last remember me the fit of SC clasic last. Both last extremely confortable for me.

I think EG 606 is a litlle narrower and shorter but both fits me ok.

Good price ($450) and looking casual loafer. Way to small for me.

Would anyone be interested with 034 GMTO’s?

What was the turnaround time? Did you order through an AD or directly from the website?

I ordered the pair directly from the website.

Very good communication and process and reactive client service. They ask you to provide 4 measurements first to determine the size. I already owned 2 pairs from them bought in 2013 from an AD in Paris with 2 different sizes on the same last (6 UK and 6.5 UK).

It seems that those pairs were based on a hybrid fitting, because I used to wear 7 UK on almost all brands. They confirmed me I would be a 7 UK on the new ZB pair and indeed they fit perfectly.

The estimated manufacturing time was 10-14 weeks, I received them after 13 weeks.

Overall I am very satisfied with the experience and will probably order again.

What last would you recommend other than sailor last for their Jodhpur’s?

What last would you recommend other than sailor last for their Jodhpur’s?

In terms of design purely, I'd rather go to their High Street last (the Classic last I chose for my derbies would be too sleek to my taste on a jodhpur).

All - please see below for a GMTO we are trying to get over the finish line. ZB Jodhpur boot 034 in Hatch Grain Embossed Vacchetta. @stephenaf2003 can confirm that if you were to only own one Jodhpur the Zonkey Boot is where it's at.

Zonkey Boot 034 Jodhpur GMTO

So we all know that Zonkey Boot makes one of the most iconic Jodhpur boots in the industry. Zonkey Boot has agreed to waive the MTO fee for a 5-person GMTO and I'm hoping we can gather participants for a unique boot that is sure to age beautifully. Keep in mind that Zonkey Boot is hand-welted...
