Walk the historical battle of Badr - with these astonishing custom-engraved whole cuts.
Hand-cut from raw high-grade Italian crust leather, shoe patterns are engraved with beautiful hand-sketched Arabic calligraffiti. Applying natural dyes and oils -and lots of savoir-faire- our Maestro colorist achieves this unique and staggering look that we call "crust" Patina. After much hand brushing and polishing, the glacé effect is jaw-dropping, as you can see in the pictures.
Original Goodyear welted using traditional techniques, they feature our fiddled waist leather sole and metal tow tap. And it's no coincidence that we chose the leather sole for this particular shoe: having the slimmest profile it’s often considered the dressiest of all of them. Besides that, it's hardwearing, flexible, practical, long-lasting, and beautiful.
What to say about the last? Used on some of our most refined hand-finished shoes, the "Fiddled waist" shoe-last is the result of many rounds of refinement to create the perfect men's formal last. Featuring a metal toe tap and a violin light chiseled waist, this is a great go-to last for a truly refined luxury look with a suit or tux shoe.
Original 360 Goodyear welted, full calf interior, and A-grade Italian crust leather Fiddled waist & metal toe tap. Gentlemen, it doesn't get any better than this.

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.
