The Cicero Ave. Single Monk No. 2478

The Cicero Ave. Single Monk No. 2478 from Robert August delivers dependable performance and uncompromising structural integrity. Handcrafted in Spain, this single monk strap shoe provides a highly functional footwear solution for the professional environment. The design prioritizes durability, comfort, and precise construction, ensuring long-term value.

Constructed primarily from premium grey full-grain leather, the upper encompasses the wingtip, vamp, and both the inner and outer quarters. Full-grain leather is the highest quality grade available, retaining the natural strength of the hide. This material resists moisture, prevents premature wear, and gradually conforms to the specific shape of your foot, providing a custom fit over time. The rounded-nickel buckles secure the strap efficiently, ensuring the shoe remains firmly in place during active movement without requiring frequent adjustments.

Internally, the shoe features a navy blue calf leather lining. Calf leather is highly porous and soft, regulating internal temperature and managing moisture efficiently. This prevents overheating and keeps your feet dry during extended wear, providing essential comfort for long days on your feet.

The foundation of The Cicero Ave. Single Monk No. 2478 relies on Goodyear welt construction. This manufacturing technique stitches the upper, insole, and welt together, independent of the outsole. This method creates an exceptional water-resistant barrier and allows for straightforward resoling when the original sole eventually wears down. By facilitating easy repairs, the Goodyear welt significantly extends the usable life of the footwear, making it a highly efficient, lasting investment.

Beneath the shoe, a cognac hand-painted leather sole pairs with a natural leather outsole. This combination offers reliable traction and steady support across various surfaces while maintaining a clean, professional aesthetic.

Robert August also provides a comprehensive customization service for this design. You have the ability to modify specific materials, colors, and hardware to align exactly with your functional requirements and specific standards.
