CNTRL - Cup Sole Monkey Boot by FACT.
The CNTRL by FACT. reimagines the original monkey boot, a footwear icon first issued to Czechoslovak military forces in the 1930s-40s and later embraced by British Mods, Skins, Punks, and Goths. Known for its stitched toe, durable build, and subcultural symbolism, the monkey boot became a staple of nonconformist style.
With CNTRL, we fuse that heritage with a skate-focused cupsole, creating a low-profile hybrid that honors past defiance while serving present motion. Crafted from premium full grain leather and finished with our signature control-pattern rubber sole, CNTRL channels raw energy through sharp lines and skateable function.
Designed for subversion, dissonance and anyone "screaming for change," CNTRL offers:
- Premium full grain leather upper that forms to your foot and ages beautifully.
- Custom stitched cupsole with control-pattern tread for grip and board feel.
- PU insole with mesh topper for comfort and breathability.
- Easy-on woven pull tab.
- Standard US sizing (unisex fit).
