Often considered the most formal men's shoe available, the Goodyear Wholecut features closed channel lacing and is made from a single cut of leather. This limited edition is made from high grade crust calf. The leather is hand painted and finished by our artisans with the astonishing sylvan cezanne patina texture. A green base with shades of eggplant, masterfully mixed using brushes and sponges. The pair features a cognac leather outsole, and black full-calf inner lining. It’s produced using our most famous shoe last, the Zurigo last, which features a round toe for a classic english look.
The Fine Print:
Shoe production timeline/shipping can vary from 30-40 days from the date of order.
All shoes are handmade, small tiny changes or imperfections are natural.
Color differentiation of shoes may vary, product color on screen is not 100% guaranteed, it may vary on how the color shows on your screen from one person to another.
Most of the time the color difference from picture to when you receive your product is minor and unnoticeable.
Fits true to size. If between sizes in sneakers, select the size down. Not sure what size you should get? Try our 3D foot sizing guide on your mobile or tablet. CLICK HERE
Comparing Shoes
When comparing two different shoes you should know that, despite their external differences, the inner shape is the key element when it comes to fitting.
See below a comparison between two Wholecut shoes as an example, both with the same size (42 EU).
The one on the left is made using the Zurigo Last (rounded toe) and the other one uses the Monti Last (long chisel toe).
As you can see, the long and narrow toe shape of the Monti last generates a larger blind / unused space at the toe. How much space you have in front of the toe varies depending on the type of shoe and its toe shape.
That is why, even though the shoe on the right is 1 cm longer (total length measured from the heel to the tip of the toe) both shoes are effectively the same size.
Admittedly, there's no point in comparing the fitting of two different shoes only based on their total length.
