Double monks are gaining popularity (not sure if it will be a classic or a trend), but a pair that is under $100 is a rare find. The look and style of the shoes is great although I would suggest using a shoehorn to slip on these rather than mess with the buckles.

The straps/buckles are very loose and feel like they are about to fall apart straight out of the box so be cautious about repeated use of the fasteners.

They are fairly comfortable however, and are not as stiff as many other dress shoes when new.

In terms of sizing, a half size down is a must (or full size in some cases). I went 1/2 size down and it's a near perfect fit.
