Double Buckle Monk | Russian Grain | Black | 505A
UK sizes
Crafted from a stunning black Russian grain leather that’s guaranteed to improve with age, these are a pair of double-monk straps like no other. Formed on a softly rounded Classic last, they have a dressy look accentuated with sweeping, long, elongated lines, resulting in an exquisite pair of shoes primed for business. The strap itself has been cut away for an alternative take on the style. Meanwhile, it has a handstitched apron and contrasting pegs underlining its hand-made credentials.
Please note: The Saint Crispin’s for The Hand shoes are all MTO. The beauty of this partnership is that customisation is at the heart of Saint Crispin’s. If you wish for a different leather, or to change the colour of the eyelets, this is entirely possible. The shoes take approximately two months to make, which is extremely quick given the high level of craftsmanship. There is even an express option should you wish to pay more. Each pair comes with lasted shoe trees.
