Monk straps

Men's Monk Strap Shoes

A monk strap shoe fastens with one or two buckles instead of laces. The best known is the double monk, with two buckles across the instep. It sits precisely between a refined lace-up shoe and a loafer: smart enough to wear with a suit, with just a little more character. At GENTS you will find leather monk strap shoes in cognac and stone, as well as sneakers with a double buckle.

How to Wear Monk Strap Shoes

Wear a leather double monk with a suit or with dress trousers, for business or at a wedding. A cognac monk strap looks superb with a blue, grey or beige suit. The sneaker with buckles completes a casual blazer or a pair of chinos, with a slightly sportier feel.

Choose a belt in the same colour as your shoes, and let your trousers fall just at the buckle so that it stays visible.

Care

After wearing, place leather monk strap shoes on shoe trees and polish them regularly with shoe cream in the colour of the shoe. Leave the buckles slightly loose when you put the shoes on and take them off, so the leather around the buckle wears less quickly. Would you like to see all models side by side? Then take a look at shoes.
