Modena Deep-Patina Plain-Toe Single Monk Strap for Men - Hand-Burnished Leather Dress Shoes

Modena is all about the depth of the finish. The calf is layered with dye and burnished until it takes on a deep, almost lacquered glow, darkest around the toe and throat. With a plain vamp and a narrow strap, nothing interrupts that surface. Pair it with a dark suit and let the finish do the talking at close range.

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. It sits naturally under suiting, from a pinstripe to an Indo-western bandhgala, and needs nothing more than a regular polish to stay sharp. Made by hand at Melodiapelle, this single monk strap shoe is finished to improve with every polish.
