And if you take a women’s 36, what are your options? Who does women’s monk shoes?
There are plenty of makers of women’s monk shoes. The best option might be to search online. But if you’re finding it difficult to get your hands on women’s monk shoes, you could also keep your eyes open for men’s shoes and shoemakers as they tend to make small enough sizes that easily match women’s sizes.
