When I was in the metropolis last week I called in to several shoe shops. In Church's Jermyn Street branch a pair of fine, sturdy slip-on shoes by Cheaney caught the eye. They were in heavy mahogany grain burnished calf leather with Dainite soles. Their name is Nicky R. They were reduced from about £195 to £111.
The only snag was that they hadn't my size. I proceeded to try other branches - one in Bond Street - to no avail. They appear to be unobtainable in Belfast because I have contacted Reid's and Langford's about them. It's just possible that Bishop's in Coleraine, County Londonderry, may stock them. I know not.
I have been researching these shoes on the web and have come across an online retailer called Solely Shoes which stocks my size and is prepared to offer me about 18% discount and free delivery. Solely Shoes has a Returns Policy and it is possible to return the new shoes for another size.

What an impressive design.!! Want to get a pair of those shoes.
The following website has a specialist page showing a good array of monk shoes:
