Mondello Debossed-Crest Wholecut Oxford for Men - Polished Leather Oxford Shoes

Mondello adds a single debossed crest to the outer quarter of an otherwise plain, polished wholecut. It is the only decoration on the upper, pressed into the leather rather than punched through it, so it shows only when the light catches it. Closed lacing, a chisel toe and a stitched welt keep the rest firmly formal.

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. It sits naturally under suiting, from a pinstripe to an Indo-western bandhgala, and needs nothing more than a regular polish to stay sharp. Handmade by Melodiapelle, it is a wholecut oxford shoe built to be worn for years, not seasons.
