Alternatives to AE?

I am looking for a monk-strap pair for more casual settings, but I have only ever worn AE (since internship) and I dont like AE monk-straps. I was wondering if someone here can recommend me some monk-straps that are in the same price range and have really good construction and comfort.

Well frankly man from what I understand you haver a certain range yet I would advise that even if it were just to browse, you take a look a John Lobb, Edward Green, and Bally. although these makers tend to be a tad bit more expensive, purchasing a solid pair of British shoes really can be a worthwhile investment. If properly maintained, they can literally last you a lifetime. Cheers.

Alden although roughly twice as much as the AE's are really an amazing value even considering their price.
