What are double monk strap shoes?
Double Monk Strap Shoes (Double Monk Shoes) are leather shoes with two monk straps attached, as the name suggests. They are said to have originated from shoes ordered by the Duke of Windsor (King Edward VIII) of England from John Robb. Compared to single monk shoes, they are more stately and glamorous. They are based on a straight-tip design and are the only laceless shoes that can be worn with classic suits.
Incidentally, the reason why John Lobb and Paraboot’s double monk strap shoes share the same name ” William ” is related to the fact that Paraboot was once contracted by John Lobb for OEM production. The history and details are introduced in the article below, so be sure to check it out as well!
