Men's Monk Strap Shoes

Discover men's monk strap shoes, handcrafted in leather with single or double buckle straps instead of laces. Monk straps are a confident alternative to oxfords: smart enough for suits and weddings, but with a little more character.

Single or double monk?

A single monk has one strap and buckle and looks slightly more formal and minimal. A double monk has two straps and is the more recognisable, versatile style. Both work with tailoring and with smart-casual outfits.

How to wear monk straps

Wear black monk straps with navy, charcoal or black suits. Brown and cognac pairs look best with grey, navy or blue tailoring, and with chinos and a knit at weekends. Keep the buckles fastened for a neat look.

Fit and care

The straps let you adjust the fit across the instep, but the shoe should still hold your heel firmly. Polish the leather regularly, wipe the buckles clean and use shoe trees between wears.
