Fit Confidence

⊞

The front is broad and softly squared, which suits the heavier texture of the embossed leather and avoids an overly narrow appearance. Two monk straps provide more adjustment than a single-strap design.

How these double buckle dress shoes fit

The toe is a soft square, which gives good width across the front. A monk strap fastens with a buckle, which gives a small amount of adjustment over the instep: more than a loafer, less than laces. When the shoe is new the strap should fasten on a middle hole, so you have room to tighten it as the leather settles. If it only closes on the last hole, you need a wider width. Order your usual US dress shoe size, which is often different from your sneaker size. We make men's double buckle dress shoes in every size from 6 to 15 including half sizes, so size 13, 14 and 15 are made like any other size.

The four widths are D (standard), E (wide), EE (extra wide) and EEE. A high instep is the usual reason a monk strap feels tight, and the fix is a wider width, not a longer shoe, because extra length makes the heel slip. The shoe should hold your heel firmly with the buckle fastened. Try them with the dress socks you plan to wear.

A double monk with an apron front and a Norwegian welt

Croc-embossed leather already has a strong surface, so the rest of this shoe is kept in order: a defined apron seam around the toe, two monk straps and two plain silver-tone buckles. The structure gives the texture somewhere to sit. Around the forepart, where the upper meets the sole, the welt is turned outward and stitched by hand on the outside of the shoe, which shows as a braided line above the sole edge. The apron seam is raised and stitched, which frames the toe and gives the embossed leather a boundary. The two straps cross the instep above it and fasten with silver-tone buckles. A Norwegian welt is among the most labour-intensive constructions in shoemaking, and it gives this pair a sturdier, more substantial edge than a slim dress monk.

Brown croc-embossed leather · Apron front · Silver-tone double buckles

The toe is a soft square. The pair is hand-welted with a Norwegian welt, with the welt turned outward and stitched on the outside of the shoe, and it can be resoled. The pattern is embossed leather, not crocodile skin. These are men's double buckle dress shoes with more presence than a plain double monk: good with tweed, flannel and heavy cotton, and with a brown or navy suit. It suits anyone searching for brown double monk strap shoes with texture, double monks for tweed and flannel, or buckle dress shoes with a country character. These are handmade monk strap shoes, made to order in your size and width.

How do I care for these? +

Remove loose dust with a soft brush or clean cloth. Follow the care instructions for the specific leather and finish; suede, patent, patina and two-tone uppers may need different products. Test any suitable cleaner, cream or conditioner on an inconspicuous area first, and use separate clean applicators on contrasting colours. Condition only when the leather and finish need it, rather than on a fixed schedule. Let damp shoes dry naturally away from direct heat. Contact Handsole before attempting recolouring or using a treatment whose compatibility is uncertain.
