Our classic Goodyear welted monk shoe is a formal traditional style made from pristine Weinheimer black calf leather. The cows graze at high altitude free from ticks and insects, to avoid scarring and blemishes, which produces a flawless leather. The black is complemented with gunmetal buckles. Inside we’ve included a full leather lining and leather insole with an additional cushioned leather heel pad. The upper is Goodyear welted to a black leather sole. The Goodyear construction stitches the upper to the sole through a welt, which runs round the outside of the shoe keeping water away from the upper.
