Double Monk Strap Shoes
On this years wish list of purchases you need to invest in the man shoe called, double Monk Strap. The different varieties that are available right now are slick and cool. One of the favourites is from the O’Keeffe range. This label Blends Irish design cues with fine Italian craftsmanship. All handcrafted in small batches with what the brand terms, “A ready worn-in and hand-me-down feel.” They are a versatile shoes that look great with linen trousers or even jeans.
The taupe tone is ready for your most stylish summer outfits, and looks elegant with crisp chinos. Individually hand-crafted in Italy for a lived-in feel, using the brand’s patent-pending technology, these brogues are the height of style and comfort.
With brogue detailing over the toe caps, and finished with the label’s unique stone wash and vintage-style hand polishing, they exude a raffish charm. Destined to become cult classics, add them to an off-beat formal wardrobe to showcase the hand-crafted lived-in look and feel.
Since they run a little on the large side, it’s recommended that you size down a half size to achieve the best possible fit. Whatever the season, whatever the colour these shoes certainly are a clear statement of men’s fashion.
