Place the heel inside the low rear rim

The rounded cap toe and low raised rear rim define this double monk mule. The rim is not a full heel counter. Your heel should rest within the footbed, clear of the raised edge. Adjust the two buckles for comfortable instep contact without pulling the straps excessively tight.

Measure both feet and choose length and forefoot width together, using the socks you intend to wear. The selector offers US sizes 6–15, including half sizes, and widths D, E, EE and EEE. If you use UK, EU or another sizing system, send your usual size and measurements for guidance before production.

A monk front with a low raised rear rim

A double monk is recognized by its two straps and buckles across the instep. This mule keeps those details and adds a stitched cap line across the rounded forepart. Smooth black leather makes the panel edges easy to read: the cap seam frames the toe, the broad fastening panel rises over the vamp and tonal stitching follows the curved side edge. Two rectangular silver-tone buckles provide contrast against the dark upper. At the back, a low leather rim rises above the footbed instead of continuing into a full heel counter. That raised edge gives the rear a more structured outline than a completely flat-backed mule, but the heel remains exposed above it. Unlike our black croc-pattern square-toe double monk mule, this design has smooth leather and a rounded cap toe.

Stitched cap toe · Twin silver-tone buckles · Low raised rear rim

The result is a backless shoe with several familiar dress-shoe details: a cap toe, buckle straps, a dark sole edge and a low heel. The underside photographs show a brown leather outsole with an etched pattern and a dark rubber heel top. The raised rear rim is visible in the side views, which makes those photographs useful when comparing it with a more open mule. Wear these black double monk mules with straight trousers, cropped tailoring or smart evening separates where open-heel footwear is appropriate. The straps offer adjustment across the instep, but they cannot compensate for incorrect length or width. Your heel should sit inside the footbed area rather than on top of the rear rim, and the buckles should hold without excessive tightening. Each pair is made to order in your chosen configuration. Compare both feet with the Sizing & Fit guide, or explore the Backless Loafers collection for a plain-vamp or horsebit alternative.
