Frequently Asked Questions
Do the Monkton shoes run true to size?
The Monkton fits true to size for most customers. The double monk strap allows you to adjust the fit across the instep, making them more accommodating than a standard lace-up for those between widths. JWS stocks full UK sizes only (UK 6–13). If you normally wear a half size in other brands, choose the full size above — for example, if you take a UK 9.5 elsewhere, order UK 10.
Can I wear these for a formal occasion like a wedding or office?
Yes. The Monkton's plain toe and polished calf leather finish make them suitable for business formal, smart-casual, and occasion wear such as weddings. The gun-metal buckles give them a slightly contemporary edge over a traditional Oxford, so they work well with both a suit and tailored trousers.
What leather are these made from and are they fully lined?
The upper is premium smooth calf leather with a polished finish, available in Brown and Black. The shoe is fully leather-lined throughout, with a suede heel counter to reduce friction and a full leather insole with a ribbon edge for a neat, refined interior.
How should I care for the Monkton to keep them looking their best?
After each wear, brush with a horsehair brush to remove dust and dirt. Every 3–4 wears, wipe with a slightly damp cloth, allow to dry naturally — never with direct heat — then apply leather conditioner. Polish with a colour-matched wax polish (Brown or Black) in small circular motions, allow to haze for 10 minutes, and buff to a shine. Always store with cedar shoe trees and rotate with at least 24 hours between wears.
