The ultimate beauty created from a single piece of leather.

Wholecut shoes, designed with as few seams as possible.
Considered one of the most luxurious leather shoes designs, their flowing silhouette brings unparalleled elegance to your feet.

Mon Model’s Goodyear wholecut shoes combine carefully selected leather, the traditional Goodyear welted construction, and artisan hand-dyed Senju-zome to create authentic leather shoes.
Precisely because of their simplicity, the texture and beautiful colors of the leather itself stand out.

Constructed from a single piece of leather, wholecut shoes are a design that requires a high level of skill. With fewer seams, they give your feet a dressier, more refined appearance.

We use Goodyear welted construction, combining durability and comfort.
The shoes feel firm and structured when first worn, but as you wear them in, the insole gradually settles and conforms to the shape of your feet. They also support sole replacement, allowing you to enjoy them as “leather shoes you can develop and cherish” for many years.

It captivates through its form and materials, not decoration.
This is Mon Model’s pinnacle wholecut shoe, made for discerning adults.

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.
