Monk-Strap specials

  • January 13, 2019
  • 1 minute read

The exact origins of the monk strap shoes are unclear. It was first registered as a design for the first time in 1901. It quickly became a staple in a gentleman’s wardrobe. In the Mediterranean countries, there is a tendency to wear double monks with the straps partially or completely unbuckled to project a nonchalant look.

There have been many variants of the monk strap, but the single is the original with the double strap also being fashionable. There have also been three or more strap designs in varying styles. To avoid the shoes being dated, it is always a safe bet to go with the classic original which, in this case, is the one strap.
