The Cowes L is a classic double monk strap shoe that makes room for multiple dress codes and occasions. It is crafted on Church’s time-hounded 173 last, which gives it a familiar, formal feel. The shoe features few details aside from its polished silver-tone buckles, allowing its soft suede to make the biggest statement. A thicker rubber sole lends this style a more laid-back appeal than other versions of the Cowes.
