For Austrian Ready to Wear, the most renowned brand must be Saint Crispin’s, who is the next? Zonkey Boot.
Zonkey Boot has a lot history with Saint Crispin’s as the two founders are family relatives, and they even share a same Sailor last!
Although both are authentic Austrian brands, Saint Crispin’s actually has its production/workshop in Romania, and Zonkey choose the other direction, Province Veneto of Italy.
For construction, Zonkey Boot has no compromise, handwelting is a given. Style wise, the least pattern and lasts, but best leather.
The average price is around 750 Euro.
Let us have a general idea of its shoes.
Remark
We can see so many reflection of Saint Crispin’s, no matter it is last or pattern design. So a more affordable choice? Not bad.
我觉得不能和JL比，风格不一样，zonkey的特质性很强。
我的意思是皮革水准，鞋子本身肯定不是一个路子。中欧的楦型，我还是蛮喜欢的。
