The leather lining is incredibly soft, no blisters on day one! The double monk strap makes it so easy to slip on and off without messing with laces

These look even richer in color under natural light than in the ad. A true head-turner at the office

Good Shoes Opaque Business

I’ve been wearing my new DaVinch shoes for about two weeks. So far…I really am satisfied. They seem like they are made well and from high quality materials. They look cool and I’ve received many compliments. They arrived in a high quality box, well packaged, with shoe bags and a pair of socks. Very nice. However, the overall buying experience was far below expectations. First. These shoes are made in China - not Italy - not in Boulder, Colorado as the website would imply. The customer service is impacted by the fact that they don’t speak English. They use AI to generate all their emails and that feels inauthentic and suspicious. It took about 3 .5 months to receive my shoes. Months! Not weeks. I nearly canceled my order several times because I thought I was being scammed. Given all that, I have thought about ordering another pair. I haven’t - but I have considered it. I like the shoes. I think they are a good value.

Thank you for taking the time to share such a detailed review — we truly appreciate both your kind words and your honest feedback.

We’re very glad to hear that you’re enjoying the shoes, from the craftsmanship and materials to the overall design and packaging. It means a lot to us that they’ve met your expectations in quality and style.

Regarding your experience, we’d like to offer some transparency that may help clarify things for you and future customers:

Our shoes are **crafted in specialized workshops across China and Vietnam**, where we work with experienced artisans who focus on small-batch, high-quality production. Each pair is **made-to-order**, meaning we begin crafting your shoes only after your order is placed. This allows us to maintain strict quality standards and avoid mass production.

Your order was placed during the **Lunar New Year period**, which is the most important holiday in our production regions. During this time, workshops temporarily close, which extended the production timeline more than usual. While this is a seasonal situation, we understand it was frustrating — especially without clear expectations upfront — and we’re actively improving how we communicate these timelines on our site.

As for communication, we’re a global team and continuously working to improve our customer support experience to make it more natural, responsive, and reassuring.

Our goal is to offer **well-crafted footwear at a fair price**, even if that means a longer wait compared to off-the-shelf products. For customers who value craftsmanship and uniqueness, we believe the result is worth it — but we also recognize the importance of clear communication along the way.

Thank you again for your patience and for considering another pair — that truly means a lot to us. We’re committed to making your next experience smoother from start to finish.

They are my go-to shoes right now.

Beautiful, stylish, and very comfortable shoes. I have also recently ordered them in black. I highly recommend this shoe.

Thank you for taking the time to leave such a lovely review. We're thrilled to hear that our Brown Double Monk Strap Lug Sole Shoes have become your go-to shoes. We take great pride in creating beautiful, stylish, and comfortable shoes, and we're glad to hear that you enjoy them so much. We hope you love the black pair just as much. Thank you for recommending our shoes. Have a great day!

Beyond my expectations

High quality shoes are worth it

Great company. They gave regular updates throughout the process and they were quick to respond to any emails or questions that I had. I love my shoes and will definitely be ordering from them again.

Worth the Wait!!

I'm not a patient person however the wait was worth it as I love these Monk Shoes! They've become the most comfortable day to day shoe I wear. I'm sold and will add some color variations. The videos along the way are a great touch! Price points are very reasonable!

Great Shoes

As always great shoes, very comfortable and high quality.

High Quality Product

The shoes fit much better after I put in the extra insoles that came with the shoes.

Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.

I am no expert however have done solid research and found these. I am a graduating college student with not the most money but wanted something nice for work. I am genuinely very impressed with the quality and styling. They definitely pay attention to the details and care about the product. The sizing is good and is perfect when you break them in.

These shoes are great. They’re nicer than many brands of a similar price point. They’re kept me up to date throughout the process of making the shoes and when they arrived I was thrilled with the final product. Have received a lot of compliments on them and will definitely buy again. Highly recommend

Very satisfied !!!

I was recommended to this brand over a year ago, but hesitant to make a purchase since it was online. I loved the look of the shoes on my coworker. After some time I noticed that his shoes still looked great, meaning that the shoes held its sharp/form. The quality still looked great!!! So I finally purchased a pair for myself. I just loved the shoes when I opened the box. You can just see the quality of material and the way it was made. They are just beautiful shoes. I love the leather interior and the comfort feel of it.

Amazing quality and craftsmanship. Better than expected.

Great dress shoes!

I was very impressed with the quality and attention to detail of these shoes. Well worth the time needed to have them handcrafted. Will purchase again.

First purchase from DIVINCH

I purchased the Double Monk in two colors based on some online reviews. They just arrived and I have worn the black pair twice. They look and feel different than other dress shoes I have had. Very pleased so far. Worth the wait.

Gorgeous

I waited anxiously for my new shoes and they were certainly worth the wait. The shoes are gorgeous and I can see and feel the quality. Haven’t had the chance to wear them out but can’t wait. They are fantastic

I really like the product.

Thank you for your kind words. We are glad to hear that you are satisfied with our Brown Double Monk Strap Leather Shoes. Your satisfaction is our top priority and we appreciate your feedback.

The shoes were too big! I need a size 11! The 12 you sent was two inches too big send me a size 11!

We’re sorry to hear the size 12 shoes didn’t fit properly and that this has led to a 2-star experience. To assist you with exchanging for a size 11 as quickly as possible, please reach out to our dedicated customer service team.

Too big

These run very large

Thank you for your review. We apologize that the shoes were too big for you. We suggest trying a smaller size or reaching out to our customer service team for further assistance. We appreciate your feedback and hope to provide you with a better experience in the future.

How does Keep & Reorder work?

If your shoes do not fit, keep them and purchase a different size in the same style and color for 30% of the original price basis. This is a paid reorder, not a free exchange. Email us within 30 days of delivery.

How is my reorder price calculated?

We use the normal selling price of each pair when your original order was placed, before promotional-code discounts. The crossed-out compare-at price is not used. Original shipping and tax charges are excluded, and later price changes do not affect this basis. For a pair with a $300 price basis, your first size reorder costs $90.

Which products qualify?

Keep & Reorder is available for all DIVINCH products, including the Goodyear and Crocodile series. You must reorder the same style and color in a different size. Other return options remain subject to our Return & Refund Policy.

Do I need to return the shoes?

No. You may keep, gift or resell the shoes you already received. There is no return-shipping charge because you do not send them back under this program.

What if the second pair still does not fit?

Contact us within 30 days of receiving the second pair. You may purchase a third pair in the same style and color, in a different size, for 50% of the original price basis. With a $300 price basis, the third pair costs $150. After this third pair, no further discounted size reorders are available.

How many times can I use the program?

Each pair in the original order qualifies for one reorder at 30%, followed by one final reorder at 50% if needed. A reorder does not start a new set of benefits. There are at most three pairs in total: the original pair and two paid size reorders.

Are shipping and taxes included?

Yes. Both discounted size reorders include free worldwide shipping and taxes, with no country exclusions under this program. Contact our team to arrange your order.

How long will the new pair take?

Reorders follow the normal process for a new order, including production and shipping. They are not expedited exchanges. Our team will confirm the applicable production and delivery estimate when arranging your reorder.

Can I return the original or reordered shoes for a refund?

Once you use Keep & Reorder, the original pair is no longer eligible for a refund. Pairs purchased at 30% or 50% cannot be returned or refunded for a sizing issue. You cannot combine this program with a refund or store credit for the original pair. Incorrect or defective items are handled separately under our normal after-sales policy.

What if my required size is unavailable?

Email us before paying for a reorder. If the required size cannot be ordered, return and refund requests are handled under our Return & Refund Policy, including its eligibility conditions. Using this program does not restore refund eligibility for an original or reordered pair that is already excluded under the terms above.

What if I receive an incorrect or defective item?

Contact info@divinch.us so we can handle it under our normal after-sales policy. You do not need to pay 30% or 50% to resolve an incorrect or defective item. These sizing terms do not affect your statutory rights.

How do I request a size reorder?

Email info@divinch.us with your original order number, the item and color, the size received, and the size you need. For a third-pair request, include your first reorder number too. We will check the details and arrange a dedicated payment link or order-specific discount. Contact us before placing the reorder so we can apply the correct price.

When does the program start?

The program is available from October 12, 2026. Contact us within 30 days of delivery to request your first size reorder, or within 30 days of delivery of your second pair to request the final reorder.
