For what occasions can I wear black monk shoes from Miler Menswear, and for which should I avoid them?
Black monk shoes occupy a middle position on the formality scale of footwear. Interestingly, they pair perfectly even with a suit, effectively softening its formality while still maintaining an appropriate and elegant look. If you prefer an overall less formal outfit, monks also work wonderfully when styled with a coordinated set. A jacket, flannel pants, and a shirt with a tie, combined with monk shoes, make for an excellent choice. Of course, they also pair well with chinos or jeans. This way, your look for a date or a walk will gain a special charm and charisma. If you skillfully choose the remaining accessories, it will become a wonderful, standout outfit!
How was the sole crafted on Miler Menswear’s black monk shoes?
We are well aware of all the charms of wearing leather shoes. After years of experience with such footwear, we know that nothing is more important than the quality of the leather from which they are made. However, the main limitation of leather shoes lies in the leather sole, which inevitably wears down over time and, in winter, can lead to slips and falls. For a long time, we considered how we could create shoes that are not only visually appealing but also significantly more functional in terms of the sole. As a result, we opted for prestigious leather soles that are partially rubberized in areas most exposed to wear. This allows you to:
- → protect the sole in areas most exposed to wear while still showcasing that it is made of leather.
- → prevent the sole from soaking through.
- → provide the wearer with slip resistance, addressing a common issue with leather soles in certain conditions.
- → save customers the time and expense of finding a cobbler to add protective rubber to their shoes.
The black monk shoes from Miler Menswear are crafted using the Blake stitching method
Blake is a traditional and highly regarded method of shoemaking, historically associated with the world of Italian elegance. What does this technique involve? It consists of stitching the sole directly to the upper of the shoe. Lyman Reed Blake patented his shoe-sewing machine in 1858, marking a major revolution in footwear production. While not denying the advantages of the most prestigious shoemaking method—Goodyear welting—with its ability to replace the sole and its greater resistance to rain and snow, it is also important to highlight the benefits of the Blake construction. In the Blake technique, the welt of the sole is slightly narrower than in Goodyear-welted shoes, giving them a more streamlined appearance. The Blake sole is also highly flexible, which has earned it a loyal following among those who value exceptional comfort. For all these reasons, the Italian footwear industry has embraced Blake construction as its preferred method.

HOW TO READ A SIZE CHART?
To make it easier for our customers to choose the size of classic footwear, we express our sizing not by the length of the shoe insole but by the length of the foot, which can easily be measured by oneself in the way described below.
1. Place a tape measure or ruler on the floor so that its beginning touches a surface perpendicular to the floor, such as a wall or a piece of furniture (e.g., a wardrobe or the leg of a table):
2. Stand on the measuring tape in such a way that your heel rests against any piece of furniture with a surface perpendicular to the floor:
3. Read the length of your foot, then compare the measurement with our size chart and choose your size:
NOTE:
If your big toe is not the longest toe on your foot, align the toe that extends the furthest on the measuring tape.
Knowing the length of your foot in cm, you can easily choose the right size of Miler Menswear shoes. The foot shown in the photo measures 26.7 cm, which makes the appropriate size 41.5 EUR or 7.5 UK.
