Cuero Astire Oxfords Black

Full-grain calfskin upper, cut as a single panel — whole-cut. No toe seam, no quarter seam, no decoration. The leather has to be flawless across the entire panel; cutting losses are higher than any other shoe in the range, which is why whole-cuts are rare in the market. Goodyear-welted construction with a stitched leather sole. Stacked leather heel with a thin rubber pad. Padded leather insole. The heel seam is hand-stitched in tonal thread and burnished flat. Built in our Pune workshop. The whole-cut is a maker's piece — it shows what the workshop can do when nothing is hidden by detail.

Care Brush after wear with a soft horsehair brush. Condition every two months with a black or neutral leather cream — the whole-cut shows every smudge, so work it in evenly. Polish with black wax for depth before formal occasions; the lack of seams means the polish reads continuously across the shoe. Use shoe trees overnight without exception. Keep away from rain; whole-cut leather is harder to revive after water damage. Delivery Made to order. Twenty-five days from confirmation to dispatch. Free shipping across India.
