Product Insights
The Mona Square-Toe Leather Boots by Vagabond Shoemakers combine durable full-grain Portuguese leather that develops a glossy patina with a Thunit outsole for superior wet traction and abrasion resistance. A 1-inch heel and padded footbed ensure all-day comfort, but buyers note a 1-2 week break-in period and a square toe that runs snug for wide feet, with goat-leather lining easing the process. Sizing runs true to size; half size up is recommended for wide feet.

Botte Mona Vagabond
Il m'est difficile d'évaluer ce produit car je ne l'ai pas encore reçu. J'ai passé la commande le 3 décembre. La compagnie de livraison Intelcom l'a eu le 6 décembre et le 13 décembre, date d'aujourd'hui, je ne l'ai toujours pas. C'est bien la première fois que ça prend autant de temps avant de recevoir une commande de chez Simons. Je suis vraiment déçue.
Over my expectation
These boots are very stylish and classy. They look slim on my wide feet but are actually quite roomy and comfortable.
Pointure
J’ai retourné ces très belles bottes, trop petites
Tellement confortable
Elles ont un style chic en plus d’être super confortable
