Buying guide

How to choose your monk strap shoes

The monk strap shoe fastens with one or two metal buckle straps over the instep. It sits between the oxford and the loafer: dressy, but without laces.

Single or double buckle

The single buckle offers a more streamlined look. The Belgrave shoes pair it with a square toe, in brown suede, smooth black, or smooth brown. The double buckle makes a stronger style statement: the Kenton shoes offer it in black patina leather, and the Alder shoes pair it with brogue perforations, in black or brown.

Size and fit

The heel should remain stable and the straps should fasten without compressing the instep. The models are available from size 38 to 45, and from 37 to 45 for Alder. Refer to the size guide before ordering.

Caring for leather and buckles

Dust the leather, apply a suitable leather care product, then buff with a soft cloth. Wipe the buckles without using abrasive products.

Frequently asked questions

Can you wear monk strap shoes with a suit?

Yes. A black model in smooth or patina leather complements a suit and formal attire. For a classic lace-up style, see our men's oxfords.

What material are IVAREE monk strap shoes made of?

Kenton and Alder have a cowhide leather upper with a patinated finish. Belgrave is made of smooth or suede cowhide depending on the colour. All three models have a rubber outsole.

What is the difference from an oxford?

The monk strap shoe fastens with straps, without laces. The oxford laces up via quarters sewn under the vamp, for a more classic silhouette.

Style guide

Single or double loop: which one to choose?

The single monk strap creates a sleeker line. The double monk strap provides more presence and accentuates the instep. Both pair well with a suit, wool trousers, or well-cut chinos.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Les réponses essentielles avant de choisir votre paire.
