Double monk in brown leather

Made from brown calfskin, these shoes stand out through a discreet elegance, equally suited to the office or a weekend outing. The cap-toe brings a note of general refinement, recalling Oxford shoes. The quarters encircle the vamp and close with two overlapping buckles, the defining element of the model. The welt stitch count is 7-8 stitches per inch.

Goodyear Welt construction allows for resoling and provides exceptional comfort, thanks to the layer of cork between the sole and the insole, which takes the shape of the foot. The rounded last, typical of monk-strap models, recalls the tradition of shoemaking craft. Mid-brown, with a discreet sheen, free of colour variation or decorative details. Sizes available from 36 to 47, including half sizes, in three width fittings.

The interior is lined with dyed natural leather, with a full-length insole. A soft insert sits beneath the insole, in the heel area, for added comfort.

These double monk shoes pair well with a navy suit and a white shirt, for an office where elegance matters. For weekend evenings, they suit beige chinos and a fine jumper in terracotta tones just as well.

For long-lasting wear, our recommendation is wiping the shoes after each wear with a microfibre cloth or a horsehair brush. Periodically, a moisturising cream, a pigmented cream, and a wax, applied in this order, are essential to maintaining the leather for years. Store in a box or fabric bags, with cedarwood shoe trees, away from light and heat sources.
