Wholcut Shoes Men
The King's Class of the Shoemaker's Guild
A handcrafted, Goodyear-welted Wholecut is the definition of minimalist elegance. As the name suggests, a Wholecut shoe is made from a single piece of leather and is fully attached to the last. They are "wholecut" and not sewn together from multiple smaller pieces of leather, as is the case with a brogue or derby. This men's shoe model is also characterized by its discreet lacing and flat leather sole. The result is an elegant shoe with a clean, timeless design.
Elaborate production by experienced shoemakers
The production process is particularly elaborate, and a Wholecut is always made by hand. Creating this completely seamless men's shoe is a huge strain on the upper leather and requires a lot of experience. By the way, our collection of men's shoes is exclusively made in Southern Europe, where the craft of shoemaking has a long tradition. For this model, particularly high-quality leather, such as Boxcalf (calf leather) is essential for production. This guarantees elegance and durability, as well as a good fit on the foot.
Production takes time. In the first step, the leather is cut into the correct shape and then thoroughly soaked. Then it must be blocked, meaning it is shaped into a (foot) form before being trimmed. This step is essential for a seamless overall cut, in order to bring the upper material into its unique shape before the leather lining, lacing, leather sole, and last can be attached. This unique construction creates a classic toe cap and makes the Wholecut one of the most exclusive men's shoe models available.
Show Your Style - in Wholecut Shoes for Men
A Wholecut shoe for men is characterized by its luxurious look and high-quality leather, usually calfskin, and exudes pure elegance - for many years, as long as it is properly cared for. With this model, you can "turn" an entire outfit into different styles and always make a classic statement.
A safe choice: For black wholecut shoes, it's best to wear a slim-cut suit in black or gray, or pair cognac-colored shoes with a dark blue suit. A black outfit is suitable for very formal events. You can't go wrong with that – after all, even style icon Daniel Craig wore black wholecuts as James Bond in Skyfalland Spectre.
Brown wholecuts are suitable for a slightly less formal environment, perhaps for a casual meeting, with a jacket, shirt, and dress pants instead of a suit, or with jeans and a cashmere sweater for a fancy date.
From sole to shaft: With wholecuts, you are always on the (style-)safe shoe side and also benefit from their durability. This is due to the careful handmade production and the timeless design.
The History of the Wholecuts
The handcrafted Wholecut with its elegant toe cap has its origins in Europe, specifically in England. However, the elaborate production was almost completely abandoned there during the industrial revolution. This noble men's shoe resurfaced in this decade and today seamless Wholecuts are among the most coveted men's shoes of all.
