Maiori Antiqued Apron-Toe Single Monk Strap for Men - Square-Apron Burnished Dress Shoes

Maiori takes an apron-toe outline and gives it an aged, smoked surface. The squared apron seam frames the forefoot like a picture border, and the hand-antiquing pools darker at the throat and toe while the flanks stay lighter, so the shape of the shoe is drawn in shade. The strap sits wide and low, with its tongue tucked neatly behind the buckle.

It is built on a leather sole stitched to a welt, with a stacked leather heel - the traditional dress-shoe base, made to be resoled rather than replaced. Pair it with a two-piece suit for the office, or with a dark jacket and trousers for evening events. Made by hand at Melodiapelle, this single monk strap shoe is finished to improve with every polish.
