Let’s discuss shoes for a minute. One of my all-time favorite styles is the monk strap. Here’s a little history lesson… Easy to take on and off, monk strap shoes were originally popular with European monks because it functioned better than the traditional sandal while still maintaining integrity as a “work shoe”.
Personally, it’s less of a functionality issue and more of an aesthetic reason behind my love for monk straps. Last month, I wore this pair of Johnston & Murphy monk straps while running around the City. Aside from being extremely comfortable, they’re an incredibly stylish pair of shoes. The textured leather helps to balance between dressy and casual, which is important in a daily wardrobe where a few outfit changes may be necessary.
