Diplomat Double Monkstrap - Black
The double monkstrap is the choice of men who want a formal shoe with a confident personality. Where the Oxford whispers, the double monk speaks. Two buckled straps across the vamp eliminate the need for laces entirely, creating a bold, distinctive profile that holds its ground in any professional environment. The 3DM Diplomat in Black is constructed from full-grain leather with Blake-stitch construction — the same meticulous build that defines every shoe in the range. Resoleable, durable, and built to outlast trends.

All our shoes are designed to match standard US dress shoe sizes. However, to ensure the perfect fit, please make sure:
- All our shoes are standard D width. If you have wide feet, please select the next size up.
- In general, our shoes run slightly big. We suggest you size down if you are in-between sizes.
- Do not order your sneaker size. Please order your usual dress shoe size.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are double monkstraps considered formal?
Yes — a double monkstrap in full-grain leather is considered appropriate for business formal and equivalent dress codes. The absence of laces is a deliberate stylistic choice, not a mark of informality.
What is the difference between the Diplomat and Toecap double monkstrap?
The Diplomat has a plain vamp; the Toecap features a defined captoe seam across the toe for additional structural detail.
Can these be resoled?
Yes — Blake-stitch construction and a leather outsole make resoling straightforward.
