Zonkey Boot Appreciation Thread

I take a US8.5E in Plaza and US8EEE in Barrie. I’m guessing that Sailor in UK7.5EE is the play?

Yeah, if that's their one width wider than standard I think that's the right call

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 received this in the mail last night. Wonderfully crafted boots. Not sure on the fit yet, but I plan on taking them for a spin tomorrow.

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.

One might label them a *****(cat) magnet...

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.

Crafted from dark blue full-grain suede, these Chelsea boots feature dark blue elastic gussets with multicoloured stripes for a stylish touch. Built on the Sailor last, the boots come with soft calf leather lining, vegetable tanned bovine leather insoles and hand welted leather soles.Further...

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.
