Product Details

Make a lifelong investment in a sartorial classic with these handmade "William" monk strap shoes from John Lobb. This elegant pair will last a lifetime if cared for correctly - wear them with everything from sharp tailoring to turned-up denim for timeless style. 

"What’s great about a monk-strap shoe is that the silhouette would have been considered special five, ten years ago, but can now be spotted on many well-dressed guys out there. And getting a pair from the legendary John Lobb not only means you’re investing in the best that will last for decades to come, but that you too can join the stylish ranks of guys adding some panache beneath their pant hems. The lightly pebbled texture on these means they’ll work as well with your office attire as they will with a pair of heavily-washed jeans." - GQ creative director, Jim Moore.

I'll be honest, I don't want to sell these shoes. They are timeless and I may not have another opportunity to afford them again any time soon. The only reason I am selling them is because they are about a 1/2 - a size too small. They are in excellent condition - the uppers are near flawless. The soles show some wear - still plenty of life left though - and there are two minor abrasions in each interior heel (see last picture). Rest assured I've taken meticulous care of them, adding leather moisturizer/preserver seasonally, polishing them with natural/highest quality products, as well as always storing them with shoe trees in a dust box when not being worn. 

Feel free to shoot me a message if you have any questions.

Thanks,
Jeff
