Manciano Streaked Chisel-Toe Wholecut Oxford for Men - Hand-Burnished Leather Oxford Shoes

Manciano stretches a single piece of calf over a long chisel-toe last and burnishes it in fine streaks, so the surface looks almost grained, like polished wood. The toe is flat and bevelled, the lacing closed and neat, and the only seam is at the heel. It is a sharp, formal wholecut that looks longer and sleeker than it really is.

It is built on a leather sole stitched to a welt, with a stacked leather heel - the traditional dress-shoe base, made to be resoled rather than replaced. Pair it with a two-piece suit for the office, or with a dark jacket and trousers for evening events. Made by hand at Melodiapelle, this wholecut oxford shoe is finished to improve with every polish.
