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.

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!

I remember Na Na's! Too funny!!! They used to supply all the Doc Martens to the stores here in Detroit.

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.
