Mole Waxed Suede Wholecut Oxford Shoe
The Miquel is a waxed suede wholecut Oxford — the unexpected version of the most minimal silhouette. One piece of waxed suede in mole, a warm gray-brown with a treated, water-resistant nap: no seam across the upper, the single-cut silhouette given the softness and texture of suede. It's built on the 780 last, a contemporary round toe with the kind of ease that makes a wholecut feel like something you wear on a Saturday rather than only to a meeting. Beneath it, a Gumlite commando sole: a lightweight lugged commando with real grip and traction, a confident stance, a fraction of the weight of a conventional commando. Made by our artisans in a workshop in Almansa.
For weekend dressing that still has standards, for the suit worn casually on a cold day, for the man who wants a wholecut and wants to wear it into the ground. Mole waxed suede reads refined in almost any context; the Gumlite makes sure it handles any ground.
The formal idea, made casual, then made rugged.

Toe shape: Round · Fit: Roomy · Sizing: True to size
The boot reads classic, clean, and effortless. The 780 brings the round toe into the world of ultra-light rubber soles: the same elegance of a classic silhouette, but with a comfort that is felt from the first step.
Designed specifically for boots with Vibram Morflex or Gumlite soles — the kind of boot you put on a Monday morning and forget you're wearing shoes. The toe competes with nothing: it steps aside and lets the leather and construction take the attention they deserve.
Cut from a single piece of leather, a wholecut Oxford is the hardest dress shoe to make and the easiest to wear.
Nothing breaks the upper — no cap, no panels, virtually no seams — just one continuous surface from toe to heel. That also means the hide has to be flawless: one weak spot anywhere and the whole pattern is scrapped. The discipline is the appeal.
Worn with tailoring it is the sleekest shoe in the room and the least forgiving, because a wholecut shows every scuff.
Ours are Goodyear welted, which is what keeps that single unbroken line from going slack.
A commando sole is a chunky, deep-lugged rubber sole, and it changes the character of the shoe on purpose. The lugs bite into snow, mud and wet leaves the way no dress sole can, and the extra thickness adds close to an inch of height and a deliberate, planted stance.
It is the most rugged finish we offer and the one that survives a real winter without being babied.
Pair it with the heavier leathers and suedes and it reads confident rather than formal — a shoe for cold mornings, gravel drives and the months when the weather decides what you wear.
