Shoepedia: Monk

Or monkstrap. This is the name of a type of shoe typical in menswear, characterised by its buckle fastening which can be a single or double buckle.

The main feature of a monk strap shoe is the lack of laces and although its construction is similar to a Derby or Blucher shoe, the monk is fastened by a buckle and strap rather than in the centre of the instep. Flexibility and comfort are this shoe’s main features. The new models that Massimo Dutti has included in the new collection that is sure to triumph next autumn are monochrome and with back stitching details on the toes and sides.
