1940's Endicott Johnson Lace to Toe Work Boots

Fantastic pair of 1940's lace to toe work boots made by Endicott Johnson. Oddly described as "monkey boots" (ex-mod or skinhead seller?), they have a rich brown color and are in fantastic shape. Some lucky winner spent $360 for these on ePay.

Monkey boots are what the japanese call them. I'm the one that sold them. Too bad they didnt fit me! Old Dead head, not skin head.

Funny, monkey boots are a kind of boots that skinheads and mods wore in England in the 1960's, 1970's and 1980's.

These are monkey boots:

Mine were black suede ones by Na-Na! Cool looking but uncomfortable as hell!

Hey I want to know which are the most comfortable shoes for women? I'm looking for a cheap one which should be waterproof and light in weight.
