When it comes to footwear, no shoe is more of the moment than the monk-strap. Check out designer collections from Milan and Paris, or, more tellingly, the street style photos from those shows. Worn with slim suit pants or a pair of rolled jeans, the monk-strap is a shoe you’ll want to invest in.
Styles can vary but typically, a monk-strap is a simple shoe with one or two straps (hence the name), somewhere between an oxford and a loafer in the dressiness department. Plus side, no more laces to bother with!
Here, a few pairs to get you started.
Air Madison Monk
$248.00
Since Cole Haan was bought by Nike, the company has implemented their patented Nike Air technology. Invisible to the naked eye, the cushioning in the sole makes for a more comfortable shoe, but keeps the traditional Cole Haan aesthetic.
