Side-gore boots were one of the most popular shoes in the late 19th century (1850-1900) in the UK and the US. Side-gore boots, which were created in the early 19th century (around 1830?), were sold as a new type of shoe that fitted without laces, with rubber cloth attached to both sides of the ankle, which had just become practical at the time. According to J. Sparkles Hall, who patented the shoe in the UK in 1951, Queen Victoria (reigned 1837-1901) also wore them every day. The upper class wore shoes with various decorations, while the middle class wore simple black leather shoes. It was inevitable that Ryoma Sakamoto, who was trading with the UK at the time, would wear such shoes. The 2 Monkeys Erastus is a short boot that can be worn all year round, incorporating the elegant style and details of side-gore boots from that era, and can be worn with casual styles. It incorporates many of the styles of boots of the time, including side elastic types, such as large V-shaped gores (rubber cloth) on both sides of the ankle, a design that raises the instep in a curved shape at the center seam without crimping, decoration with stitching and holes that are the origin of modern brogues, and a cap with protrusions toward the instep.
