Thoughts on monk strap shoes (Dr Martens 1461 derbies)
Saw these Dr Martens made in UK monk 1461s discounted for 150€ instead of 260... thoughts?
I'm looking for my first pair of derbies and these seem pretty cool and unique.

not a fan tbh
ignoring the fact that monkstraps are dated looking (and that i dislike them) i think they look better when they're in a sleeker profile
i personally would just try to find a pair of derbies; i imagine you can find a discounted pair of doc 1461s on poshmark or similar sites
I don’t find any docs dated looking
The fact they’re docs outshines the monkstraps (which usually are pointier and slimmer anyways) imo
I think they’re cute tbh but you have to embrace the cunt
Yeah on that note could you see yourself going for the Mary Janes? https://www.drmartens.com/uk/en_gb/t-bar-regency-leather-mary-jane-shoes-black/p/31528001

not sure how I feel about how open they are but I get what you mean the strap makes more sense on a shoe of this style
Yeah I like these!
I have the Mary Jane’s but in black. Not sure how much I like them in brown

I’m a fan. Love a monk, and I think they can work with a chunky profile
