"Shoe was cool, but they sent me the wrong size. I ordered a 6.5 and got a 5.5. I didn’t realize until right before I sent it off to be returned and had already chosen a diff model by then thinking that it was my foot not being a good fit for the shoe."
Gaucho Crazy Horse 7 Eye Monkey Boot
This is our standard fit with a generous round and deeper toe. It generally fits true to size, but if you prefer less room in the toe box area, go down ½ size or fit according to the length of your foot, adding 5 mm to your measurement for comfort
Our Goodyear welted footwear is a little larger than most other brands. We would therefore recommend you either purchase a pair of our cushioned socks with our footwear in your regular size, as they offer about 1/2 a size extra fitting, or you go 1/2 a size smaller than you typically wear.

Due to the nature of Gaucho leather used, each product may differ in finish and may require a layer of Dubbin wax to achieve the pictured look.
Applying a suede protectant before wearing your footwear for the first time will help guard the surface. A suede brush can be used to remove dust and restore the nap after each use. Suede and Nubuck finishes should be kept away from large amounts of water due to its porous quality.

Reviews
These boots are of the
"These boots are of the utmost quality. I could feel the craftsmanship as soon as I put them on and laced them up. They may take some time to break in, but when they do I can tell that they will be perfectly one with my feet. I am looking forward to a lifetime of style, sophistication, and comfort with these boots."
I like these Monkey Boots
"I like these Monkey Boots very much. They feel and wear much more shoe-like that a boot. I added a very thin insert with a little arch support. That's made them as close to perfect as anything I've worn."
Although I loved my last
"Although I loved my last pair of Solovair Monkey Boots, the newer version on the 409 last gives me more room and comfort in the toe box and I think looks beeter than the previous ones too. Highly recommeded."
"Easy shipping and the best boot manufacturer on the planet. Because of the style, monkey boots take a bit of breaking in before they are really comfortable, but I can still easily wear these all day right out of the box."
Nostalgic
"It’s been decades since I last wore a pair of these. These Monkeys are genuinely rugged and well made. I’m still breaking in the leather upper, but the sole is comfortable, bouncy, and surprisingly lightweight. Great boots—I’m very happy with them."
I haven't had a pair
"I haven't had a pair of monkey boots since I was a kid. I was stoked to see these oxblood monkey boots and thanks to the great build and sizing information, I bought a pair. I decided on size 9. 5 as I have wide feet (usually I'm a 9). These were my first (along with a pair of 11 hole gaucho boots) purchase from Solovair. Boots arrived in NZ within a couple of weeks of purchase and I was thrilled with the look, colour and quality. As they are high shine, they need a little breaking in to soften up but are by no means painful and I was wearing them out within a couple of days. Highly recommend and already planning some more purchases from here."
Excellent quality boots
"These boots are very well made. The leather feels high quality, the stitching is neat and precise, and the overall shape is elegant and well proportioned. The sizing is accurate and they fit comfortably. Please note that they arrive in a uniform brown colour. The distinctive rub-off effect only starts to appear after you begin cleaning, polishing and buffing the leather. This gradually brings out the darker and lighter tones and gives the boots more character. Overall, I am very pleased with the quality and appearance."
Break in is going well!
"Break in is going well! Love the color and the fit- the last one these fits my 9. 5 wide us shoe size with room to spare for winter socks!"
True to size, manipulating the
"True to size, manipulating the tongue to soften the edges helped a lot with comfort. The inserts are great and I’m glad to have such a perfect fit."
