Pick your size to see when your pair will arrive
You'll find a brown double monk strap easier to place than an Oxford and harder to ignore. Two buckles, no laces, a clean closed throat, in a warm mid-brown that sits with gray, navy, and tan without choosing between them. The upper is top-grade European calfskin, the brown built up by hand: burnished deeper at the toe and heel so the color shifts between chestnut and tobacco as the light moves. Underneath, the Francis runs on the 722 last — long and lean with a slight chisel toe, the sleekest line in the range. Made by our artisans in a workshop in Almansa, Goodyear welted, one pair at a time. A full leather sole keeps it dressy.
Put it under a gray suit and it lifts the whole outfit a degree above expected; put it under chinos and a jacket and the straps make the casual look considered. The brown that goes everywhere, on the shoe that makes it look like a decision.
Brown covers the most ground. On a double monk, it covers it with intent.

Toe shape: Chisel · Fit: Snug · Sizing: True to size
The shoe reads long, stretched, and sharp. The chisel toe draws an almost horizontal line at the front of the shoe — it doesn't end in a point or a curve, but in a clean, straight edge that gives a very modern and deliberate silhouette. From the instep to the floor, the last communicates intent: this is a shoe that wants to be noticed.
The lateral profile is low and taut. There is no volume in the toe box — the last tapers gradually toward the front without inflating the cap. The result is a shoe that looks even slimmer than it measures, with that visual elongation that makes the foot appear longer and more elegant.
Ideal if you're looking for presence without excess: a shoe that enters the room before you do.
Two buckles, no laces.
A double monk strap closes with a pair of straps drawn across the vamp, which makes it the most confident shoe in a formal wardrobe — the one that gets noticed without doing anything loud. Monastic in origin, it kept the closed, protective front of a dress shoe and dropped the lacing entirely.
Under a suit it sharpens the whole outfit; with flannel or dark denim it does the work of three other shoes.
Ours is the Francis, Goodyear welted and built across several lasts, from the soft-square Louvre to the chisel-toed 722.
A leather sole is the dressiest way to finish a shoe, and the reason a good pair reads as a good pair from across the room. It is thin where a rubber sole is thick, so the shoe keeps the line the last gave it instead of adding bulk under the foot.
Leather breathes, takes the shape of the way you walk within a few wears, and can be replaced when it finally goes — this is a sole built to be renewed, not discarded.
It is quieter on a hard floor than anything else we make, and it is the sole to choose when the occasion is formal and the day is dry.
