The timeless essence of classic leather shoes, in Mon Model’s signature style.

The most formal and enduring style of leather shoes.
Cap-toe Oxford shoes are a classic design everyone should own.

Mon Model Goodyear-welted cap-toe Oxford shoes combine traditional craftsmanship with artisan hand-dyed “Senju-zome,” creating an authentic, high-quality pair. They offer a classic presence while allowing you to enjoy rich colors and individuality not found in mass-produced shoes.

The straight line across the toe gives your feet a polished, intelligent appearance. Suitable for business, formal occasions, and ceremonial events, they also feature the natural tonal variations of hand-dyed leather, adding understated allure.

We use Goodyear welted construction for durability and a comfortable fit that improves the more you wear them.
The sole replacement option allows you to enjoy developing these leather shoes into a pair you can wear for years to come.

They feel firm and structured at first, but over time they mold to the shape of your feet, developing into a truly unique fit. This construction embodies the reason they continue to be loved by leather shoe enthusiasts.

For those looking for leather shoes that can truly be called “a lifelong investment.”
These are Mon Model’s Goodyear-welted cap-toe Oxford shoes, combining classic style with understated allure.

Goodyear welted construction

A method developed in the latter half of the 19th century with machine-based mass production in mind, based on the original hand-sewn technique (hand-sewn welted construction). Its defining feature is that when the upper and sole are stitched together, they are secured through a narrow strip of leather called a welt.
First, the upper, welt, and tape (rib) attached to the bottom of the insole are joined with a stitch-down seam. The welt and outsole are then joined with a through stitch.
Because the upper and outsole are not stitched directly together, rainwater is less likely to seep into the shoe through the sole seams. When the sole wears down, it can be repaired by replacing the entire sole, a process known as a full sole replacement. Although this construction is complex and therefore more costly, the cushioning material (cork) packed between the insole and outsole gradually takes the shape of your foot as you wear the shoes, improving the fit and allowing you to enjoy them for many years as they mold to your feet.
