The Solovair Rub Off Monkey Boot in Burgundy combines two of Solovair's most distinctive features: the monkey boot's offset lacing and rounded toe, and the rub-off leather's unique ageing process. The result is a boot with immense character that only grows more individual with every wear.
The rub-off leather features a deep burgundy surface coat that gradually wears through in areas of natural friction, revealing the lighter base leather beneath. On the monkey boot, this effect is particularly striking — the rounded toe and the offset lacing create unique wear patterns that differ from standard derby boots. The transition from dark burgundy to warm, lighter tones gives each pair a lived-in quality that cannot be replicated artificially.
Every pair is handcrafted at the NPS Shoes factory in Wollaston, Northamptonshire, where Solovair has been making boots since 1881. Goodyear welted construction bonds the rub-off leather upper to the signature air-cushioned bouncing sole, complete with the grey perimeter stitch that identifies a genuine Solovair boot.
The seven-eyelet offset lacing system provides a secure fit, while the rounded toe box offers generous room for comfort. Inside, a micro-porous insole with antibacterial treatment ensures all-day freshness. The bouncing sole delivers cushioned shock absorption on every surface.
This boot is for those who appreciate footwear that evolves naturally. The combination of the rub-off finish and the monkey boot silhouette creates a boot with a personality that develops over time, rewarding wear rather than storage. Pair with dark denim, turned-up chinos, or casual trousers for maximum visual impact.
