Cuero Obsidian Cairo Oxfords

Full-grain calfskin upper, vegetable-tanned and dyed black through the leather. Hand-perforated cap-toe brogueing — each hole stamped individually on a press. Goodyear-welted construction with a stitched leather sole. Stacked leather heel with a thin rubber pad. Padded leather insole. The last is sharper than the standard oxford last; the shoe reads more contemporary while staying within the classical idiom. Built in our Pune workshop. The narrower last is more demanding to lift over — the leather has to be coaxed, not forced.

Care Brush after wear with a soft horsehair brush. Condition every two months with a black or neutral leather cream — work it in, leave it ten minutes, buff dry. Polish with black wax for depth before formal occasions. Use shoe trees overnight; the sharper last needs them more than a rounded one. Re-sole when the leather wears through. Delivery Made to order. Twenty-five days from confirmation to dispatch. Free shipping across India. International orders available — duties payable on delivery.
