Vaudeville was a form of theater entertainment for the masses in America before the spread of film. From 1880 to 1920, when vaudeville was all the rage, there were many vaudeville theaters in big cities such as New York, and they were very busy. The content was also very diverse, with singing, dancing, comedy, magic, and more. Many of the stars of early silent films, such as Charlie Chaplin, Buster Keaton, Laurel and Hardy, and the Marx Brothers, were from vaudeville. They traveled from theater to theater. The 2 Monkeys “VAUDEVILLE” is a boot made with the image of a vaudeville actor who was also a traveling performer. (It is not a reproduction of a specific vintage boot.) It was inspired by American and French boots from around 1910. It is a capped toe boot with a high toe, called a high toe or bulldog toe, and a waist leather with separate parts sewn together above and below. The original wooden last with a slightly oblique toe is combined with a small cap, a large waist leather, a low length, and a small heel to create the appearance of boots from that era. Two different manufacturing methods are combined to tightly tighten the waist, recreating the graceful appearance of boots from that time. The toe has a unique shape with a line, imagining actors who are used to showing off. The leather is horsehide (horse front), which is smooth but leaves the natural skin. Since it is not very "made up", scars and rose marks may become visible as you wear it, but it is leather that allows you to fully enjoy the horse leather characteristics including those. The soft leather fits the foot perfectly. Like "SPORTIF", it is an amazingly light boot.

The colors are oak brown and black (see separate page). Oak brown has a deep shaded color, and you can enjoy the aging process as the black dye used in the finish fades.
