I was very excited to find an inexpensive, tan double monk strap, and this pair(typically known as the Arbiter) is pretty nice. There are a couple things I'd like to make note of, however.

Typically when purchasing this style of shoe(long and slender), it's advised to go for a half size smaller than usual; in this case, I'll need a full size smaller. This is partially due to what I consider a fault with the holes punched on the straps; the tightest one is too far up to easily use since the buckle hits the base of the strap. Even when I did manage to tighten them all the way, the shoe was loose enough on my ankle to pull off a bit as I walked.

Also, perhaps this is just me, but I was expecting a lighter color, tan, but with some brown/red hints; after all, the color selection says 'tan.' However, they are quite brown...bordering a chocolate brown.

I still need to receive my exchanged lower size to give more of a review, but these are my first impressions. If the cost was any higher, I would consider pulling off more stars, but this is definitely a good value, as most double monks run $150+. The shoes do look fantastic and are comfortable, near as I can tell with the size being too large.

Receiving my smaller size was a bit of an ordeal...I believe it actually took around a month. But the company(I believe Giorgio takes care of exchanges directly) was very good about communicating, and offered me a discount for the hassle. No shipping charges for exchanges, definitely appreciated.

The smaller size is definitely an improvement. They actually still feel a bit large, even though I'm a full size below my usual, but it seems to work quite well for these shoes. They're very comfortable in that regard. They are quite long even for this style of shoe.

I don't mess with the straps, they don't seem extremely sturdy, so I use a shoe horn to put them on. I believe they come with some minor scuffs by design; sort of like faded jeans.

They've grown on me quite a bit. Really slick looking, and work great with a navy suit.
