Monk Strap Shoes

Blending sleek elegance and a sophisticated choice of leather, this high-necked monk strap shoes are made to be a subtle and yet firm statement. Adorned with a solid cast silver buckle designed by Stefano Bemer in 1989. The Sangria iteration is maybe the most sophisticated of all the versions. The Tradizione Collection is the highest end of our line-up. Hand-lasted, hand-welted and sewn by hand, it features our signature narrow waist fiddleback "violino" solo and metal toe taps. It's the very exact correspondent of our Sixpence Bespoke, but made on one of our Ready to Wear lasts. Probably an evolution of sandals, monk shoes were surely not so stylish a few centuries ago! Part of our Tradizione Collection, these shoes come with individual wool dust bags, lasted wooden shoe trees and our leather maintenance kit with wax and small brush and a real shoe-horn, all in a beautiful wooden box for proper storage. Product Code: T2200 Stefano Bemer’s signature and most recognizable last is the J, which elegantly and sensually enhances the curve of the instep towards the ball line. The elongated nose, elevated instep, generous ball line (close to an E) and slim toe box give this last a contemporary look without diminishing its elegance.
