These boots gained popularity in the late 1960s and early 1970s, particularly within the British mod subculture. The term “monkey” in their name is a reference to the boots’ utilitarian and sturdy nature, suggesting a connection to the work boots worn by laborers.

Specific characteristics of Monkey Boots:
