Monk FactsThere is nothing that screams ‘Ivy League style’ like the Alden Leisure Handsewn. With its high-walled, round-toed style it oozes a relaxed sense of assuredness and power. Its low-cut vamp and hand-sewn apron also make it deceptively elegant, so much so that you could definitely look sharp wearing them with a suit.
