One for the money, two for the shoe, three to get ready, go cat go! Don't step on these blue suede shoes!
The name is derived from straps traditionally found on monks’ sandals. It’s a quite practical shoe that is technically a loafer because it’s a laceless shoe that can easily be slipped on. Some men loathe them, some men swear by them, but regardless of your stance this hybrid formal/casual shoe is here to stay.
Monk strap shoes are best worn with pants that are more tapered with a modest leg opening. The narrower at the open the better.
If your pants are too wide, they may get caught on the buckles and create a sloppy appearance. Additionally, you want for your pants to just barely skim the shoe’s leather, allowing for the buckles to have the spotlight.
