Outfits often come down to the shoes, literally and figuratively. Even if everything else is coordinated in excruciating detail, if the shoes don’t match, it’ll all feel a bit off. That’s why Paul Evans makes The Martin Wholecut. It’s a shoe that relies on simplicity in design and quality craftsmanship to the final sharpening it wanted. The upper part of each shoe is made of a single piece of Italian calfskin leather with a matching leather sole. There are six different color styles available, so there’s definitely one that will match your favorite suit, dress pants, or even your best pair of jeans. The company focuses on making a direct connection between top Italian cobblers and the customer, cutting out middleman markup and making shoes more affordable than their thousand dollar counterparts.
