The Wabash Ave. Wholecut Oxford No. 8328

The Wabash Ave. Wholecut Oxford No. 8328 defines formal footwear through architectural simplicity and superior material quality. This shoe relies on the clean lines of its construction rather than excessive ornamentation, making it a definitive choice for the modern professional wardrobe.

Uninterrupted Design
The defining characteristic of this oxford is its “Wholecut” design. Unlike standard oxfords made from multiple segments of leather sewn together, the Wabash Ave. is crafted from a single, continuous piece of flawless Black Luxe Calf leather. This construction method requires skins of the highest grade, as there are no seams or stitching to conceal imperfections. The result is a sleek, uniform silhouette that contours naturally to the foot. The quarter and back maintain this rigorous standard with matching Black Luxe Calf, while the Black Painted Calf tongue adds a subtle textural distinction that integrates seamlessly with the overall aesthetic.

Interior and Sole Performance
The interior features a striking Red Calf Leather lining. Beyond its visual impact, calf leather lining offers superior breathability and moisture management, ensuring the shoe remains comfortable during extended wear. The foundation of the shoe is equally robust, featuring a Dark Red Hand Painted Leather sole equipped with a rubber insert. This combination offers the traditional profile of a leather sole while providing the traction and durability necessary for urban environments.

Construction and Durability
Handcrafted in Spain, a region renowned for its shoemaking heritage, this model utilizes Goodyear Welt construction. This method involves stitching the upper leather, lining, and welt together before attaching the sole. This dual-stitch process creates a nearly waterproof seal and significantly extends the lifespan of the shoe. Unlike cemented shoes that are difficult to repair, the Goodyear Welt allows for repeated resoling, making the Wabash Ave. a long-term investment in your wardrobe.

Customization
While the No. 8328 presents a specific vision of formal wear, the design allows for personalization. You retain the ability to customize this design to align with specific preferences, ensuring the final product meets your exact specifications for style and
