Crafted from Annonay’s premium crust leather, hand-finished with a Dark brown patina, these single monk strap shoes exude understated elegance. Built on the Y05 last, featuring a soft square toe, the design offers a contemporary silhouette with a touch of classic refinement. The single strap and buckle provide a minimalist aesthetic while ensuring a secure and comfortable fit.
The monk strap shoe traces its origins to 15th-century Europe, inspired by the sandals worn by monks for their practicality and durability. Over time, the design evolved into a sophisticated dress shoe, bridging the gap between formal Oxfords and casual loafers. Its distinctive buckle closure and streamlined silhouette have made it a versatile choice for gentlemen seeking style and individuality.
Ideal for both formal occasions and smart-casual ensembles, these single monk strap shoes reflect Yearn’s dedication to traditional craftsmanship and timeless design.

The Craftsmanship
Handwelted craftsmanship in leather shoe production offers unparalleled durability, flexibility, and comfort due to meticulous hand-stitching techniques, ensuring superior breathability and personalized fit. With an emphasis on quality craftsmanship and ease of repair, handwelted shoes represent a timeless investment in both style and longevity.
Fiddleback Waist
Compared to the flat waist of the RTW collection, the Artisanal line boasts a signature fiddleback waist, which demands a longer crafting time and can only be achieved through meticulous handwork. This exquisitely narrow waistline results in a more elegant and refined silhouette.
Refined Fudging
The neat and precise fudging and hand-stitched outsole, with 12 stitches per inch (SPI), are the standard of the Artisanal line, ensuring both aesthetic appeal and durability. Every stitch is meticulously aligned with the exact placement of the fudging, reflecting the highest level of craftsmanship.
pitched tight heel
The Artisanal line showcases a precisely crafted heel, expertly pitched to fit snugly to the upper. This technique demands the artisan's patience and skill, requiring substantial time to achieve a flawless finish.
Hand-welted
Compared to the Goodyear welted construction, which attaches the welt using a glued-on rib, our skilled craftsmen use needles and thread to stitch the welt to the upper and insole. This method makes the sole more flexible and durable, requiring exceptional manual dexterity and experience.
Hand-Stitched Outsoles
Hand-stitched outsoles allow for greater flexibility compared to machine-stitched alternatives. This flexibility ensures a more natural movement of the foot, leading to increased comfort, especially during prolonged wear.
Closed Channel
Closed-channel outsoles, seamlessly integrated into our Handwelted construction. Meticulously crafted for durability, they elevate both performance and style, ensuring every step is a statement of sophistication.
