What Are Monkstraps?

Distinguished by their signature buckle closure system - either single or double - monk straps (or "monkstraps") trade traditional laces for a sleek, uninterrupted upper that commands attention.

The monk strap traces its origins to European monasteries, but today stands as a truly modern choice, bridging classic formality and contemporary elegance.

How Do You Wear Monkstraps?

Monkstraps are truly special in their ability to elevate any outfit. More dramatic than oxfords, yet more formal than derbies, monkstraps occupy a sweet spot in men's style, pairing beautifully with everything from classic tailoring to smart casual attire.

The metal buckles of each monkstrap serve as both functional elements and subtle design details, with the inclusion of this "hardware" creating a playful effect unattainable by most other dress shoes.
