As a man, I love Double Monkstrap shoes. I've always wondered why I've never seen women putting them on since I thought the shoes goes well more with women than men --you've proved my point.
As a woman who was (and still kinda is honestly) obsessed with men's fashion, the reason for not many women wearing double monks is because it's not a style often offered by women's shoe designers, meaning that it's incredibly hard to find double monk straps in women's sizes. Hence, people don't just stumble across them while browsing, so they don't get as much press in the women's fashion world. If you are a woman wanting these kinds of shoes, you have to 1) actively know they exist and 2) search out specific brands carrying this style.
I also realy love monks and quality footwear. But i also have the 'problem' of being female. You should check out Meermin Mallorca and Shoepassion. They make gorgeous goodyear welted female shoes! Btw great shoes you bought❤️
Yes, I'm normally 7. Yes if you're a 7 medium width foot, definitely go a half size up. That's what they suggest anyways. Hope this was helpful. Thanks for your comment Mayte!

Are you normally a 7 1/2 or was that bc of the style you went a size up? I’m a 7 with a full medium foot. Would you recommend a 7 1/2?

What sort of sock would you wear with these if you were going to wear them everyday? Any advice on an invisible, thin ped?
My favorite is a printed nylon sock.
Oh how I love them! Please!
What are you using to condition these, in this color?
Just simple beeswax. I hadn't treated them yet in this video.
Unbelievable shoes!!!!!
I have a similar pair from Hugo Boss. They are exactly the same. Not so original.
Too much of you slowly speaking and not enough about the shoe.
