I love a sexy suit!

I designed this navy pinstripe number at Sumissura. I received my first order and I love it.

I'm really impressed with how everything turned out.

The fabric, the buttons, the stitching. Everything is top notch. The process of customizing your blazer is super easy. I really enjoyed using Sumissura, and I truly appreciate a site that allows you to personalize every aspect of the item you are ordering.

I am obsessed with everything

I am obsessed with everything from the fit to the fabric on it. They allow you to add customization on everything from the fabric and fit to monogramming and everything in between – down to the buttons and thread (seriously, you can customize the thread on the button holes)!

What is a Monk Strap Shoe?

The origin is, as the name suggests, from the monks. They wore the predecessor of today's monk shoes as early as the 15th century. It's a lace-free shoe with straps. Today, Monks are super versatile. You can wear them to your business casual outfit or for an afternoon stroll.

+

Can women wear monk shoes?


Absolutely! Monk shoes are versatile and stylish, making them a great option for women looking to elevate their footwear game. They offer a chic alternative to more traditional styles like oxfords or loafers and can easily transition from formal office attire to casual weekend looks. Plus, the sleek design and buckle detail add a unique touch to any outfit.

+

How do you wear monk shoes?


Monk shoes are surprisingly easy to style. For a polished look, pair them with tailored trousers or a midi skirt. If you’re feeling adventurous, monk shoes also look great with cropped jeans for a chic, off-duty vibe. The key is to balance their slightly masculine edge with more feminine pieces for a modern, put-together look.

+

Do you wear socks with monk shoes?


It depends on the vibe you’re going for! If you want a clean and minimalist look, going sockless or with no-show socks is a great choice. However, wearing fun or patterned socks with monk shoes can add a quirky, stylish twist to your outfit, especially when paired with cropped trousers that show them off.

+

Do monk shoes fit true to size?


Monk shoes generally fit true to size, but as with any type of shoe, it’s always a good idea to double-check sizing, especially if ordering online. Since monk shoes often have adjustable buckles, you can tweak the fit slightly. If you have wider or narrower feet, custom options can ensure a perfect fit.

+

Can you wear monk strap shoes with jeans?


Definitely! Monk shoes pair beautifully with jeans, giving you a refined yet casual look. Opt for slim or straight-leg jeans that stop just above the ankle to show off the stylish buckle details. Whether you're going for a classic blue denim or a more daring colour, monk shoes add instant sophistication to your casual wear.

+

Are monk strap shoes hard to put on?


Not at all! Thanks to their simple buckle design, monk strap shoes are as easy to slip on as they are to take off. They offer more convenience than lace-ups while still giving a snug, comfortable fit, making them a practical yet stylish choice for your everyday wardrobe.

+

What makes monk shoes stand out from other styles?


Monk shoes offer a distinctive balance between elegance and edge. The buckle closure is what sets them apart, providing a minimalist yet bold statement. Unlike loafers or oxfords, the monk shoe’s clean lines and unique buckle detailing make it a standout choice for those who want to make an impression with their footwear.

+

Can you wear monk shoes year-round?


Yes, monk shoes are incredibly versatile across seasons. In cooler months, pair them with tights or socks for a sophisticated layered look. During warmer weather, go sockless or wear light no-show socks. The key is to play with textures and fabrics to adapt them for any season.

+

Are double monk strap shoes more formal?


Double monk strap shoes lean slightly more formal compared to single monk straps, thanks to the added buckle detail, which gives them a more structured look. They’re perfect for professional settings or events where you want to impress while maintaining a stylish edge. However, they can easily be dressed down for casual occasions too.

+

How durable are monk shoes?


Monk shoes, especially when made from high-quality materials like leather or suede, are built to last. Their sturdy construction, combined with the adjustable buckle for a snug fit, ensures durability over time. Proper care—like cleaning, conditioning, and storing them correctly—will keep them looking sharp for years.

+

Buckle shoes or monk shoes, same?


Not exactly. Monk shoes are a type of buckle shoe, but not all buckle shoes are monk shoes. The defining feature of monk shoes is their sleek, strap-and-buckle design, usually with one or two straps across the top. Buckle shoes, on the other hand, can refer to any shoe that fastens with a buckle, including sandals or other dress shoes. Monk shoes stand out for their clean, sophisticated style, perfect for both formal and casual wear.
