The Solovair Greasy Monkey Boot in Black is the raw, unpolished counterpart to the hi-shine version. Finished in greasy leather — a full-grain hide treated with oils and waxes for a matte, workwear-inspired appearance — this boot combines the monkey boot's distinctive offset lacing and rounded toe with a finish that is built for hard use and honest ageing.
Made at the NPS Shoes factory in Wollaston, Northamptonshire, where Solovair has been producing boots since 1881, the Greasy Monkey Boot features Goodyear welted construction throughout. The oiled leather upper is attached to Solovair's air-cushioned bouncing sole with the distinctive grey perimeter stitch that marks every genuine pair.
Greasy leather is one of the most practical finishes in the Solovair range. The oil treatment provides natural water resistance, while the matte surface does not show scuffs and marks as readily as polished leather. Over time, the leather develops a rich, deep patina that rewards regular wear. Care is minimal — a wipe with a damp cloth and occasional conditioning is all that is needed.
The monkey boot profile, with its rounded toe and seven-eyelet offset lacing, provides comfortable room for the foot and a secure, adjustable fit at the ankle. The bouncing sole delivers Solovair's signature cushioned comfort for all-day wear. Inside, the micro-porous insole with antibacterial treatment ensures breathability and freshness.
This is the monkey boot for the purist — no polish, no pretension, just quality English-made footwear with proven construction. Pair with workwear, denim, and rugged casual outfits for a look that is authentically rooted in British boot heritage.
