This primo event is now in its fourth year and gets better every time. Jeepers Shoes for Men has again been honored by being selected to take part in this prestigious event.

New Huxley Monk Strap Shoes

The Monk (so called because it is reminiscent of the sandals worn by monks), is similar to an Oxford or Derby except that the quarters are fastened together with a buckle. The buckle is attached to the outside quarter, while the inner quarter tapers to form a strap which is threaded through the buckle. The buckles can vary in number, shape, size, finish, etc. The advantage of the Monk is simplicity of the buckle fastening, which is usually just decorative, the closure being accomplished by a concealed elastic strap. The Monk is considered less formal than an Oxford, but more so than a Derby.
Huxley is an original Monk strap shoe, where the shape of the overlapping quarters is echoed in the design of the toe cap. Available initially in a light brown lizard skin and also a two-tone muted green lizard skin.
These shoes will be released to the public at Menswear Fashion Week 2013 which runs from April 19-27th.

The Wells Monk Strap is similar to the Orwell design, but with a one-piece synthetic color-scripted sole. The uppers are available in red, blue and green, and they all come with a choice of four shocking florescent colors:  yellow, pink, green and blue. Shocking, I know.
