The finest Budapest men's shoes from Germany's most exclusive men's shoe brand - masterfully handcrafted since 1879.
Two brands, one passion
Visit nowStill fashionable and always comfortable, our classic double monk strap shoes in black could be just what you need for work or leisure. Completely crafted from dyed calfskin and Goodyear-welted, this unconventional men’s shoe is a real all-rounder for all men with a casual sense of fashion.
Our No. 592 is a classic black double monk, a type of loafer. The name relates to the decorative characteristic feature: two buckles fastened on to the side of the shoe. First developed in the early 20th century they have their roots in the European buckle shoes of the 17th and 18th century, but have since made their way into the vocabulary of modern cobblers.
The cut and shape are reminiscent of the Derby style, but instead of shoelaces two straps close our double monk. It also boasts an understated seam running above the instep, which accentuates the shoe’s less formal style.
Take advantage of our optional additional features and select the classic shoes in the proper width, too.
Our double monk is Goodyear-welted, using one of the oldest footwear methods in the world. It guarantees high quality and, because it is easy to repair, a long lifetime for the shoe. While the upper is made from dyed black calfskin, inner linings, insole, outsole and heel are crafted from leather too. 15 brass pins hold the heel in place and offer perfect support, cushioning and durability.
If you are looking for comfortable slip-on shoes in a classic design with a bit more panache than your standard lace-up, black double monks are an option for both the office and your free time, too. Although they are not the dressiest of all men's shoes, don't be deterred. Just treat your monks like a pair of luxurious sneakers.
Please note: Double monks are the perfect choice for men with a tall and sturdy build.
Men with wide forefeet and/or elevated insteps can also enjoy this elegant, classic shoe—it is now available in a wider option. It features a greater overall width, providing wider feet with plenty of room for comfort.
Although similar to the Derby style, this buckle-closed shoe has a unique character of its own. Characterised by two decorative buckles, the black monk strap is distinguished and unconventional.
The standard British last form. Subtly and elegantly narrows at the front of the shoe, without sharply rising from the ground. The average width at the ball of the foot provides a great fit for average feet.
This shoe’s upper boasts premium, medium-soft calfskin. The technical term for this type of leather is ‘French calf.’ This type of leather is known for its flexibility, fine texture, and soft grain.
The gold standard when it comes to shoe manufacturing. Goodyear welting is a painstaking process that involves stitching the shaft and outsole to a thin strip of leather. Shoes made this way are extremely stable, durable, breathable, and easy to repair.
Mass-produced shoes are glued together on assembly lines. All of our premium, full-leather shoes, on the other hand, are handcrafted to the finest standards of quality. You can see and feel the difference.
The high quality of these shoes is reflected in their high leather content. Their uppers, lining, insoles, and outsoles are made from the finest leather. They even have leather heels, made by painstakingly stacking thin layers of leather on top of one another.
These shoes consist of roughly 65 separate parts. They took about 210 steps to assemble. We rely upon premium materials and traditional production methods to ensure that our footwear is of the absolute highest quality.
These shoes come equipped with a so-called "gentleman's corner". This is a small notch cut from the inside corner of the heel. This has a practical purpose—it prevents your trouser leg from catching on your shoe.
This shoe boasts a high proportion of leather, and has been assembled without the use of adhesive bonding—both of these factors ensure proper air circulation and prevent moisture from penetrating the surface. Dry, well-ventilated feet are healthy feet.
Of course, our focus is on your new pair of shoes. But to underline our passion for our products, we enclose a few extras in your shipment. We hope that sparks your excitement about your new footwear.
Our passion for our products is reflected in their packaging. All of our shoes come in an elegant black shoebox emblazoned with the SHOEPASSION.com logo. Said shoebox is easy to open, thanks to a special opening on the side, and comes with a note on our philosophy.
These shoes come stored inside two shoe bags, packed into a shoebox. Shoe bags are a great way to maintain their condition—they protect your footwear from soiling and scratching. They also let you transport your shoes in style.
Goodyear-welted shoes last far longer than mass-produced models. A dedicated cleaning and care routine is an indispensable part of keeping your shoes in mint condition. An introductory guide to shoe care is included with your order.
SHOEPASSION - ONE STEP FURTHER
While most of our peers in the shoe industry are still unable to guarantee shoes that are »made in the EU«, we’re able to prove that our shoes are just that. We use leather from France and Germany, manufacture our shoes in Spain, and run distribution and logistics in Germany—our shoes are 100% made in Europe.
For many companies, all that matters are the profits; they fail to take notice of the disastrous conditions under which hides are taken in Bangladesh, or shoes are manufactured in China. We turn instead to traditional European tanneries and Spanish craftsmanship, to the benefit of man and nature alike.
Our promise: since you’re purchasing directly from the manufacturer, you’re spared the typical high margins. You’re also spared the additional cost of paying for a brand name. Thanks to our advantageous wide reach and our low cost structure, we’re able to offer sensationally low prices.
From the provenance and treatment of the leather we use, to the conditions in our Spanish factory, to delivery with our logistics partner, we don’t leave any stone unturned. We provide copious, transparent information on every step in our supply chain.
SHOEPASSION.com was founded by a pair of shoe lovers, and each and every employee focuses on satisfying our shoe-loving customers. Whether it’s graphic design, sales, marketing, editorial, or customer service, we handle all aspects of our business internally, ensuring our total control over all processes.

Lots of brands are quick to conceal the production methods behind their products, as well as the origins of the materials they use. We, on the other hand, have nothing to hide. From the very beginning, our products have been »Made in the EU«, in the classic sense. As such, we treat both our fellow man and the natural environment in a way that’s ecologically sustainable and ethically responsible. Each step on our supply chain is entirely transparent for you to see—that’s a promise we’re happy to stand by.
