The Solovair Women's Greasy Monkey Boot in black is the raw, no-nonsense answer to the polished version — a distinctive boot with real attitude that women can wear straight out of a menswear playbook. Its matte greasy leather (a full-grain hide fed with oils and waxes) is made for hard use and honest ageing rather than showroom polish, which is exactly what gives it character.
Built at the NPS Shoes factory in Wollaston, Northamptonshire, where Solovair has produced boots since 1881, it is Goodyear welted throughout, the oiled upper stitched to the air-cushioned bouncing sole by the signature grey perimeter thread so the whole thing can be resoled for years to come. The greasy finish is one of the most practical in the range: it repels water naturally, hides scuffs, and settles into a deep patina with wear, asking only for a wipe-down and the odd feed of dubbin.
What sets the monkey boot apart is its silhouette — a rounded toe with plenty of room, and seven eyelets of offset lacing that pull to a secure, adjustable ankle. On a woman it looks brilliantly unexpected under a floaty midi or a slip dress, and equally at home with skinny jeans, dungarees, or a leather skirt and thick socks. Solovair sizing is unisex, with this ladies range running UK 3 to UK 9; because the last is cut to a men's width, most women fit best a size down, and if you are between sizes the smaller one keeps a narrower foot snug and the boot looking sharp.
