THE MONKTON
Formal, without the laces | ||
|
There are two ways to look properly dressed from the ankle down. One involves tying the same knot every morning of your working life. The other is the monk strap: all the polish of an Oxford, fastened once with a buckle and then simply worn. The Monkton is our double monk, and it makes the second way very easy to choose.

The case for the buckle
Smart enough for the boardroom. On in three seconds.
A plain, polished calf upper kept deliberately clean, so the two gun-metal buckles do all the talking. It sits naturally with a suit, sharpens a pair of chinos, and slips on and off at the door, at security, on the train, without a second thought. £139, in brown or black calf.

Built for long days in them
The comfort is engineered, not promised.
Inside, a full leather lining and a leather insole let the shoe breathe and mould to you rather than fight you, with a suede heel counter to hold the foot without rubbing. Underneath, an island-stitched studded rubber sole grips a wet September pavement that would send a leather sole skating. First-day comfort that lasts to the last train.
