Our classic Goodyear welted monk shoe is a formal traditional style made from pristine Weinheimer black calf leather. The cows graze at high altitude free from ticks and insects, to avoid scarring and blemishes, which produces a flawless leather. The black is complemented with gunmetal buckles. Inside we’ve included a full leather lining and leather insole with an additional cushioned leather heel pad. The upper is Goodyear welted to a black leather sole. The Goodyear construction stitches the upper to the sole through a welt, which runs round the outside of the shoe keeping water away from the upper.

Idbury Black 2025

Another pair of Sweeney’s for my collection…Beautiful, comfortable shoes purchased June 2025.

Only worn for a couple of hours around the house then straight into 3 days at Royal Ascot. Thought I was taking a risk but these were fantastically comfortable straight out of the box. Lovely soft bag for storage included as well.

I even had a question about the ‘O’ & ‘S’ stitched into the heel, only too happy to spread the Oliver Sweeney love!
