The Craft:Artisan-Hand Made Patina: The unique artistry behind the double monk's finish is achieved through a meticulous technique known as ‘Anticatura,’ which translates to antique finishing in Italian. This traditional craft is renowned among master shoemakers from Italy and France. Under the skilled hands of the antique finisher, the upper section of the shoe transforms into a true work of art. The Anticatura method involves a hand dyeing process applied to leather, requiring approximately 8-10 hours of labor per pair. This dedication results in a distinctive patina that embodies an elegant aged effect.

Typically, any color discrepancy between the image and the received product is minimal and often unnoticeable.

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.
