Quswa Noir Wholecut Shoes
The Quswa Noir - Cleopatra Edition redefines elegance with a bold nod to history and artistry. This third iteration of our award-winning design elevates the sophistication of the original into a masterpiece of modern luxury, embodying both heritage and contemporary style.
Meticulously crafted from premium Italian black patent leather, the Quswa Noir exudes a flawless mirror shine, reminiscent of the timeless allure and grandeur associated with Cleopatra herself. The sleek silhouette is enhanced by intricately engraved patterns, drawing inspiration from calligraffiti—a subtle yet meaningful homage that pays respect to its artistic roots. The pièce de résistance lies beneath: the sole. Featuring intricate artwork inspired by Cleopatra, it becomes a hidden treasure; a narrative carried by the wearer with each confident step they take.
Constructed with a fully leather interior, this version prioritizes unparalleled comfort, while the refined 360-degree Goodyear welt ensures durability and flexibility, essential for the discerning individual. The unique fiddled waist design introduces an sculptural element that further enhances its aesthetic appeal, complemented by the addition of a metal toe tap which reinforces longevity and style.
Whether paired with a bespoke suit or worn to leave an impression at the most exclusive events, the Quswa Noir - Cleopatra Edition transcends the notion of footwear; it emerges as an icon of power, artistry, and individuality. Designed for those who understand that luxury isn't merely worn—it's a lifestyle that is authentically lived.

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.
