Cayton Black Box Calf Double Monk

Black from strap to toe, the Cayton is a double monk that keeps its whole upper in one material and one shade.

That material is box calf, smooth and close grained, and it is the only thing happening above the welt. Two straps cross it and nothing else interrupts the line. The contrast waits underneath, in a plain cognac leather sole that shows itself every time the shoe leaves the ground. Each pair is handmade, so minor differences between pairs are part of the object rather than a flaw in it.

This is the double monk to own if you already have a pair that ties and want something dressy that does not repeat it. Plain black until it moves. Wear it with dark trousers and let the sole be the only surprise.
