     Thanks! This is my third or fourth monk strap shoe, including one I had in college many years ago, and I honestly think they're not hard to pull off at all. Always enjoy seeing someone wearing a pair of monk straps!

     Thanks! I'd been looking at the shell version for quite sometime, too, Mike. When I saw this one on Plaza I decided it was too good to pass up. Do you happen to know if the Brick + Mortar LWB in dark brown "Regina Calf" is the same as this leather (TSM calls this one a soft, tumbled...

     Not sure there's a way to prevent that - looks like the natural way your foot moves inside that particular shoe. I wore my unlined 8 dovers sockless a couple of times recently and got a "hotspot" on the side of my heel area -- very similar to were this appears to be on your shoe (never...

     I think unlined just feels better on your foot (moisture being part, but not all of it). I wear my lined color 8 Ranger sockless and it feels pretty good, but not nearly as comfortable my unlined 8 Dover.

     There's anecdotal evidence out there suggesting the shell models will feel a bit looser, perhaps because it doesn't stretch, so Alden is accounting for that lack of stretch by making shell models looser than non-shell boots/shoes.
