Oxfords black Gédéon | Septième largeur

The classic and essential shoe for the male wardrobe.

Fitted on a single piece of skin with only one stitch at the back, the origin of its generic name; the "one-cut" is one of the most technically complex shoe to manufacture.

It is in the most formal codes of our collection (one of the few that will support the tuxedo), it is the groom's shoe par excellence, but it remains versatile and will adapt perfectly to your other everyday outfits.

The skin

An exceptional leather

The Black box calf from the Dupuy Tannery, a house having obtained the french label EPV ( it can be translate as : Living Heritage Company ).

This full-grain calfskin, tinted in the mass, has the advantage of being resistant while remaining dressed with the possibility of making a "glaze".

The making

A Goodyear

Like our entire collection, this one-cut is made in GoodYear welted. An assembly which guarantees a longevity to the shoe and the possibility, once worn, of re-sole it.

The sole

In leather

Demonstration of 7L's Know-How, the work of the sole is also its signature. This is a close channel stitching, the shoes seam is therefore protected from the wear of the first ports.

Under the arch of the foot is a metal bevelled waist and fiddleback with a double wooden pegging, a technique inspired by shoemakers and rare in the footwear industry.

As for the heel, it is made up of several layers of leather, each still placed by hand today.

The last

Number 199

She is the most French last in the collection. She is discreetly slender and will fit perfectly on standard to thin feet.

The 7 brass nails

A meticulous work

As a nod to our favorite number, our leather soles are adorned with 7 small brass nails to protect the front of the sole during the first wear. This part is in fact the most subject to abrasion. They are not meant to stay but rather to be replaced with a metal toe later.
