Crockett & Jones Monkton Black

Monkton, a single buckle monk strap shoe with a plain front made from the finest calf leather or suede and single leather soles. From the Men’s Main Collection.

Said to have been developed by an alpine monk in the 15th century, and worn throughout European monasteries, this style was popularised in the 1920s. Unbeknown to many, a Monk strap style hosts similar fitting qualities and construction to a Derby. You could think of a Monk style as a ‘modern day’ Derby, of sorts. With open quarters, and a whole cut vamp and tongue, Monk straps (single and double buckle) are remarkably comfortable on the foot.
