“When you respect the process, you honour the product. That’s the quiet truth behind every Harrington shoe.”
–Edward Harrington, Founder
English Shoemaking at Its Finest
Handcrafted in Northamptonshire, these double monk strap shoes are made using time-honoured British techniques and finished with a deep, hand-burnished patina. The uppers are cut from premium full-grain calf leather, polished to a rich sheen that subtly catches the light. Featuring a sleek cap toe, stitched leather sole, and Blake construction for a refined silhouette with everyday comfort, this pair is a modern classic, made to last and built to impress.
Why These Monks Deserve a Spot in Your Wardrobe
-
Timeless Meets Tailored
The addition of a cap toe brings structure and sharpness, giving these monks the elegance of a classic Oxford with the added personality of twin buckles.
-
Polished Without Being Flashy
Available in espresso brown or jet black, the leather is hand-dyed and buffed to achieve a layered, tonal finish — one that gets better the more you wear it.
-
Durability Disguised as Elegance
Beneath the sleek exterior lies a Blake-stitched sole with reinforced heels and grip inserts — discreet but dependable, designed for real-world wear without losing its poise.
The Monk Strap’s Sartorial Standing
Long favoured by discerning dressers, the double monk strap is the thinking man’s alternative to traditional lace-ups. Its origins may be monastic, but today it signals quiet sophistication. The cap toe adds an extra layer of formality, making this pair ideal for suits and special occasions alike.
Styling Advice That Goes the Distance
Reach for the black pair when your suit calls for something razor-sharp — perfect for boardroom meetings or black tie-optional affairs. The espresso brown shines with navy, charcoal, or even forest green — ideal for weddings, evenings out, or simply standing out the subtle way.
