The Double Monk-strap is again a hit. I remember buying my first pair about 22 years ago. Just loved my black double monks. Not many people wore them those days, and I wore them with proud and distinction because of the fact that I was practically the only one with shoes like this in Antwerp ! (I bought them in Brussels somewhere, but can't remember where though)  |

However, faith decided differently, and a fierce car-crash finished their well-polished lives as the rescue-workers (thank God for the, because the fuel tank thought I needed a baptism !) cut them, yes, CUT them from my feet, who were caught between the pedals when the car was upside down, rooftop-wise stroking a strong oak tree !Never had another pair since then. ... I know, my mistake. But they are a true must-have. On top of my wish list ! |

Mr Lino Ieluzzi, elegant as ever, sporting his famous dark-nosed double monks,
one strap left open for easy of wear.He started a trend in Japan with this example

The pair above is from Paul Stuart, and costs about $425. And look at the elegant last.
