Why double monk straps are ace

Double monks have made a resurgence in the past half a decade, and considering I am just about to embark on yet another trip and am mainly waiting for the boarding and need to kill time, I decided to list some reasons:
  • Very simple in security -- don't buckle the upper strap and you can kick them on and off like loafers and just glide through security
  • No need to swap laces all the time. Conversely, no need to fear about having a lace give out at just the wrong point of time
  • They strike the perfect balance between casual and formal; they're definitely not sneakers, but depending on the material can pass off with even a suit under certain circumstances. As a corollary, in a pinch you don't need to carry so many shoes with you on a trip
  • They have been interesting, as in they have only recently been breaking into the mainstream, so they easily add a little interesting detail
