Jim Charles Shoes presents a distinguished Wholecut, crafted for those who appreciate pure, uninterrupted elegance and meticulous craftsmanship. Built on the Zurigo last, this shoe features a rounded toe that delivers a traditional English look, offering a balanced, classic silhouette suitable for both formal and refined business settings.

The upper is cut from a single piece of premium leather, combining black box calf with a hand-finished burgundy patina. The box calf provides a smooth, fine-grain surface with excellent structure and durability, while the burgundy patina is applied by hand to add depth, richness, and subtle tonal variation. This seamless construction showcases the skill of the shoemaker, as it demands precise cutting, shaping, and lasting to achieve its clean, sculpted form.

Inside, a black calf leather lining creates a soft, breathable, and supportive environment for the foot. This high-quality lining is selected for its comfort and longevity, gradually molding to the wearer’s foot and enhancing the shoe’s fit over time. Neatly executed internal stitching and finishing reflect the high standards of Jim Charles craftsmanship.

Underfoot, the red Goodyear Welt, leather sole underscores the shoe’s traditional construction and refined character. The Goodyear Welt method is renowned for its strength, durability, and ease of resoling, making this Wholecut a long-term investment. The leather sole offers a sleek, elegant profile and a comfortable stride, suited to both special occasions and elevated daily wear.

From the single-piece upper in black box calf and burgundy patina to the Zurigo last shaping, fine stitching, and red Goodyear Welt sole, every element highlights the use of superior materials and artisanal craftsmanship.

In addition, this Wholecut is fully customizable through our online shoe configurator. You can personalize key details—such as materials, colors, and finishes—to create an individual, unique pair that reflects your own style. The result is a truly distinctive shoe that marries traditional shoemaking excellence with modern, made-to-order customization.
