Shoe Porn - Double Monk Straps

It's been awhile, readers! The month of November was a period of hectic studying and exams. I should add that they are too some of the final ones that I'll ever be taking in my life, unless I choose to pursue a master's degree or take professional exams.

For now though, the end of my final semester in university means that I'm about to be thrust out into the working world. Naturally, in fitting with the culture at The Watch Post, this thought dawned upon me; "What better way to start my career than to look the part?".

And thus, let's start from the bottom-up. First though, a little background on my work shoe situation: I've been using a pair of black square toed shoes for work so far, something I bought years back having not known better. I've since learned that square toed shoes seem to be quite the fashion faux pas.

Luckily though, there seems to be a type of shoe out there which is capable of washing away the sins of such a heinous footwear faux pas; the double monk strap.

All I could think of when I first saw these shoes was, holy shit, these look damned good.

Reading up on double monk straps led me to brands such as Edward Green, John Lobb and Alfred Sargent. Unfortunately, those are just a pipe dream for now as I'm not about to spend half a grand on a pair of shoes even if my finances permit me. I'll come back for a double monk strap by these brands when I'm a managing director or an executive. I promise.

Ah, here we have something more in line with my financial situation. Double monk straps from Meermin of Spain and Archules of Singapore. I'll be making my choice between either of these soon and then, as is customary, a full review shall be posted here.

Also, stay tuned for the next post which will be an end of the year summary post about what The Watch Post has went through during the year and what you can expect to come in 2015. Thanks for reading!
