Monk Strap Shoes
Monk Strap shoes made a comeback in the mid-2000s, and they became an instant hit in an otherwise heritage-obsessed era. The men quickly adopted Monk Strap shoes as they were a much-needed entr’acte from the ‘classic’ before them. Monk Straps took the shoe design in the usual dress shoe sense to a more modern fashion-forward alternative, and gave it a much-needed new look.
Many centuries ago, Monk Strap shoes were first seen in Europe. The closed-toe version originated to create more protection for the monks who did intensive manual labour work. However, before long, these shoes soon paved their way in the fashion consciousness of young people. Throughout the 1700s and 1800s, the leather boots with strap and buckle fastenings were trendy. But they soon became obscure as the lace-up shoes returned into the competition. Monk Strap shoes evolved their fan base when they made a comeback in the 20th century. They were rapidly and widely accepted as the new menswear and stayed in the spotlight for its hallmark design. Monk shoes walk on a thin line of being both classic and contemporary, making it a perfect pair for the cosmopolitan man with a traditional incline.
