What are Monk Shoes

A monk shoe or monk strap is a style of dress shoe with no lacing, instead secured on the feet by one or multiple buckles and straps. The monk shoe is a moderately formal shoe: less formal than a full Oxford shoe. It is one of the main categories of men's shoes. The monk shoe is described by some specialists in the fashion sector as the most accomplished men's dress shoe.

How to Take Care of Monk Strap Shoes

To keep your monk strap shoes in top condition, always keep them dry and promptly wipe off any moisture with a clean cloth. Regularly clean off dust and debris with a dry microfiber cloth, avoiding water and harsh chemicals. Store your shoes in a well-ventilated area, using the provided sleeves to protect them from dust. For vegan monk shoes simply wipe clean with a dry cloth. For suede shoes, use a dry shoe comb and avoid water. Regularly check the buckles and straps on double and single-monk-strap shoes for wear and tear to ensure they stay functional and stylish.
