Centuries ago, monks would wear strapped sandals during the warmer months but needed a more protective, covered type of footwear for the cold winter months. Hence, the original monk strap men's shoe was invented, as it gave monks the convenience and practicality of a sandal, combined with the protection and warmth of a covered shoe.

In modern times, the double monk strap has evolved to become a wardrobe staple for gentlemen looking for a versatile shoe that can easily be dressed up or down depending on the occasion.
