Over a decade ago, double-monk straps ruled the formal shoe space. Some say they're coming back, but now might be time for the single-monk shoes to have their moment. A single-monk boot has more duality—wear them with dark or black denim or pull them on with a natty double-breasted suit. Leave it to a Parisian company to craft something this stunning. Fursac's interpretation is made by hand from 100% calf leather and has the height of a formal Chelsea boot, finished with a simple, single strap. What's more, it's Goodyear welted, so these will literally last you a lifetime, as long as you get them resoled every ten years or so—not a horrible investment shoe if you ask me.

Jacques Solovière just collaborated on a shoe for Percival, but only 25 pairs were made. Each are handcrafted in Italy in a custom color, 'Ruggine'—a rich, rusty shade of suede calf leather made exclusively for this partnership. Finished with a soft crepe sole, the shoe is perfect for warm-weather suiting or just dressing up some old favorite chinos. Plus, it can be styled two different ways, thanks to the included kilt fringe that can be laced in on top for a more dapper, retro look.

Corridor has teamed up with heritage American athletic brand K-Swiss for a pair of serious tennis shoes. The standout of the collection, for us, is the SpeedTrac—a modern performance trainer engineered for the courts and other athletic activities. It's a next-generation tennis shoe specially developed for quickness and ease of movement. As durable as the shoe is comfortable, there's a weightless midfoot support mixed with a new outsole pattern providing maximum speed around the court. The mesh upper allows breathability while playing, and the molded Ortholite sock liner helps with stability as you move laterally.
