Carlos Santos 9975 Reversed Stitched Double Monks In Black Calf
Double Monk-Straps Work!
Double Monks are the thinking man's shoe. Sharp enough for business, refined enough for weekend wear, distinctive enough that people notice. They're the choice of men who know exactly what they're wearing and why.
The 9975 Reversed Stitched Double Monks in Black Calf proves that a double monk can be both sharp and versatile. Handmade in Portugal on the same 445 last as our bestselling oxfords, these monks work for business, weekend wear, and anywhere you want to look intentional without trying too hard.
The reverse stitching creates clean lines across the face — no visible seams, just refined surfaces. The black calf leather develops and ages beautifully the longer you wear them. And the Goodyear welt construction means they'll last you a decade if you treat them right. This is the double monk you've been waiting for.
Sizing Advice
As for the last itself, the 445 is New and fits very similar to the 401. It has slightly more curvature around the wider part of the forefoot creating an extremely attractive shape as you can see in the pictures. You should always choose the same size as your regular 401 Carlos Santos Shoes.
About the 445 Last: A New sleek last with a rounder shaped toe and wide width. Fits roomier and similar to the 401. Slightly elongated toe and advice is to size down 1.5 full size from your regular US dress shoe size, or select your half a size from normal Carmina Rain/Meermin Hiro/Crockett & Jones 348.
The Sole is an absolute work of art. Very rarely will you come across such high quality finish for this kind of price range. The sole is also hand painted with a unique Patina.
