Montecito Double Monk Strap Shoes for Men - Goodyear Welted Full-Grain Leather

Montecito is the double monk strap as Melodiapelle conceives it - clean, broad, deeply polished and completely certain of itself. Two wide straps of full-grain leather cross the instep, secured by antique gold rectangular buckles that complement the warmth of the leather rather than interrupting it. There is no broguing and no toe decoration, which puts the focus entirely on leather quality, proportion and hardware.

The strap edges are hand-burnished to a rounded profile, the construction is Goodyear hand-welted, and the veg-tanned leather outsole is finished with a fine edge stitch. Double monk strap shoes sit exactly between an Oxford and a laceless shoe, which makes them the most useful single pair a man can own - suit, blazer and trousers, or dark denim, all handled without a change of register.
