I am looking to buy a pair of shoes to wear with sport jackets (not tweed) and wool dress slacks.
Would you suggest a pair of monk straps or split toe shoes?

I prefer monk straps.

I think monk shoes are nicer. Get a nice pair of single monks with a plain toe if you can.

You could always get split-toe monk shoes.

Good to go with either, especially if the split toe is something truly nice, like an Edward Green Dover.

I have the Dover. It is stunning and very comfortable.

I have a pair of Edward Green split-toe monks, as it happens - a sale item from a warehouse sale when Brooks was eliminating carrying Edward Green.

I picked mine up, barely worn, at a local consignment shop. Not cheap, around $440 with tax, but not $1,400 either.
