Monk Facts

Understated. Underrated. Single monks are often overlooked because of their more popular bigger brother with the fancy double strap. Less is more, we say. Look at the younger sibling, it can make an impression on it's own. And oh boy does this shoe impress! Made from three pieces of Horween Color 8 Shell Cordovan, this Single Monk features a brass buckle and a single leather sole, crafted on the elegant Aberdeen last. Color 8 is much more versatile compared to brown and the Cordovan with it's deep patina adds a beautiful texture to any outfit. Alden: the greatest American shoemaker, period. Charles H Alden founded The Alden Shoe Company in Middleborough, Massachusetts in 1884. Throughout the company’s history, Alden has relied upon maintaining its reputation for high-quality craftsmanship. While most shoe manufacturing shifted overseas during the latter 20th Century, Alden has prospered as a maker of comfortable, durable and handsome dress shoes.
