Mayfair Single Buckle Monk Shoe - 1001 Burnished

SHOE KNOWLEDGE

Monk Shoe

The earliest versions of the monk strap shoe featured a simple strap that was fastened with a buckle. The single monk strap shoe was the most common style during this time, with a single strap crossing over the instep and fastening on the side. It provided a secure fit and allowed for easy adjustment.

Today, the monk strap shoe is highly regarded for its timeless elegance, versatility, and unique charm. It is a popular choice among professionals, fashion enthusiasts, and those who appreciate classic and refined footwear which is why it has been a staple in our collection over the years.
