In 15th-century Europe, the life of a monk was dedicated to worship and manual labor, monks traversed the hills of Europe, reaping, sowing, plowing, and binding the crops for their villages. Monks typically wore double-strap sandals while plowing the fields, wearing sandals did not offer enough protection and slowed down work. The monks needed a practical shoe that covered the foot, was durable and could withstand the rough terrains, the solution was a closed version of the traditional monk's strap sandal, and thus came the introduction of a monk strap shoe. The modern-day monk strap gives you a balance of two choices, it’s halfway between an oxford and a loafer, It’s a slip-on, like a loafer, but includes a tongue or vamp like a closed shoe, Instead of laces, monks have their characteristic buckles, just a great all-round shoe. Please Note: Once purchased, we recommended all leather sole footwear have a thin rubber lining put on the sole by a shoe cobbler. The reason is, to prolong the sole life of the shoe.
