"I recently purchased these monk strap dress shoes for my husband. He traditionally wears a 13, and these shoes in 13 fit him well. His only complaint is that the shiny, smooth sole makes for difficult walking, depending on the floor surface. I can easily purchase stick-on patches to provide a bit of traction, but for the price of these shoes, it would be nice not to have to alter them. Otherwise, they are a handsome pair of shoes, and look great with a suit."
