hi,

I am looking for a double monk strap.
First target is edward green westminister.
However, it seems missing something.
What do you guys think?
Any other recommendation?

I saw this on net and seem quite good looking.
Do you know what it is??

What do you think of the Allen Edmonds Neumora double monk? A few sales ago, I bought a pair for $190, and I love them.

Mercanti Fiorentini around $150 @ DSW.  They look great and quality is pretty good.

An acquaintance who owns a shop here in town was complaining the other day how much pain he was in breaking in a new pair.

 

He's not sartorially impaired so I wonder what gives?

Thanks for you guys idea.
I am researching on them.
I start to figure out why i feel EG westmister is wierd.
The problem may be on its 888 last, which ia a bit square toe.
Do you agree?

I guess you feel like something is missing because you can't see the tongue of the shoe on the EGW.

Why even bother with the monk strap, this costs 30% less, and is 100 000% MORE AWESOME!

Sid Mashburn Dub Monk's in the chocolate brown suede.  They are $600 so not cheap but they are awesome.

John Lobb Chapel is awesome.

I made an ebay offer last week to ascot_shoes, which was rejected. He apparently sold the shoes later for his asking price, $50 less than the price at Neiman-Marcus. What is wrong with ebay bidders??

I got bored with the John Lobb Chapel (maybe because I feel I’m too old for the shoe)…

…I think the John Lobb William is one of the best double-monks though my favorite is the John Lobb Wallace (I could easily and nicely survive with just these two pair of shoes)…
