Understated allure and substantial elegance for your feet.

Among classic leather shoes, double monk strap shoes stand out with their distinctive presence. The unique look created by two buckles strikes an exquisite balance between formality and understated allure.

Mon Model’s Goodyear double monk strap shoes are authentic leather shoes that combine traditional Goodyear welted construction with the artisan’s hand-dyed “Senju-zome.” This pair adds Mon Model’s distinctive deep color and luster to a classic design.

While the buckle design creates a dressy feel, it also offers a relaxed ease that lace-up shoes lack. They pair naturally not only with suits, but also with jackets and denim for sophisticated casual styles.

We use Goodyear welted construction, which offers excellent durability and repairability.
The shoes feel firm and supportive at first, but the more you wear them, the more they mold to your feet and develop a fit that is uniquely yours. They also support sole replacement, allowing you to enjoy them as leather shoes you can wear and develop over many years.

It goes beyond the classics.
These Mon Model Goodyear double monk strap shoes are worthy of the discerning adult.

Goodyear welted construction

A method developed in the latter half of the 19th century with machine-based mass production in mind, based on the original hand-sewn technique (hand-sewn welted construction). Its defining feature is that when the upper and sole are stitched together, they are secured through a narrow strip of leather called a welt.
First, the upper, welt, and tape (rib) attached to the bottom of the insole are joined with a stitch-down seam. The welt and outsole are then joined with a through stitch.
Because the upper and outsole are not stitched directly together, rainwater is less likely to seep into the shoe through the sole seams. When the sole wears down, it can be repaired by replacing the entire sole, a process known as a full sole replacement. Although this construction is complex and therefore more costly, the cushioning material (cork) packed between the insole and outsole gradually takes the shape of your foot as you wear the shoes, improving the fit and allowing you to enjoy them for many years as they mold to your feet.
