The monk strap shoe was originally worn by monks, therefore its name. It is an alternative to classic lace-up shoes, but its shape is similar to the derby, with the eyelets replaced by a leather strip that is closed at the sides with one or more buckles. The monk strap shoe perfectly illustrates the male-female style of Melvin & Hamilton. Available in a variety of leathers, with leather or ultra-light rubber soles, this timeless classic will fulfill all fantasies.
