The monk shoe was originally worn by monks, therefore its name. It is an alternative to classic lace-up shoes, but is similar in shape to derby shoes, with the eyelets replaced by a leather strip that is closed at the sides with one or more buckles. Combined with a business or leisure outfit, the monk strap shoes for men are the perfect shoes to spice up outfits in the cold season. Melvin & Hamilton attaches great importance to these original models: single or double buckle, smooth leather or imitation of crocodile prints, lining in natural or printed leather, decorative perforations... Each pair of these monk shoes has its own signature for men fancying the British style.
