Our Goodyear welted wholecut is made from Black Prime calf leather with our signature OS medallion at the toe. A wholecut is the king of formal shoes. With one piece of smooth calf leather cut from the prime part of the calf hide, the upper is free from restrictive seams allowing it to mould more readily to your foot. Inside we’ve included a full calf leather lining with a half leather insock cushioned at the heel. The upper is set on a formal last with a slightly squared toe and Goodyear welted to a sturdy leather sole. The Goodyear welt channels the stitching through a leather welt around the outside of the shoe making a practical construction.
