Cuero Atlas Oxfords Black

Full-grain calfskin upper, vegetable-tanned and dyed black through the leather rather than surface-finished. Hand-perforated cap-toe brogueing — each hole stamped one at a time, which is why the spacing reads even but not machine-perfect. Goodyear-welted construction with a stitched leather sole. Stacked leather heel with a thin rubber pad at the heel breast. Padded leather insole that moulds with wear. Built in our Pune workshop. Twenty-five days from cutting to finishing — most of it leather resting between stages. The Goodyear welt is the difference between a shoe you replace and a shoe you re-sole.

Care Brush after wear with a soft horsehair brush. Condition every two months with a black or neutral leather cream — work it in with a cloth, leave it ten minutes, buff dry. Polish with black wax three or four times a year for depth. Use shoe trees overnight. Re-sole when the leather wears through; the upper is built for it. Delivery Made to order. Twenty-five days from confirmation to dispatch. Free shipping across India. International orders available — duties payable on delivery.
