The monk strap serves as the intermediate between the oxford and the derby
n terms of formality, featuring a similar shape sans the laces.
In place of an eyelet closure, the monk strap has a wide strap that is fastened across the front of the shoe with either a single or double buckle closure.
The monk strap takes its name from the monks who originally donned them. This alternative to traditionally laced dress shoes adds a certain panache to any outfit in need of a little something extra.
