Description from the seller
Allen Edmonds Shell Cordovan US Size 8 E (EU Size 41.5) MTO Sanford Black Shell Cordovan Exceptionally Rare Original Packaging
The Allen Edmonds Sanford is a classic semi-brogue derby that embodies American shoemaking at its highest level. In the traditional manufacturing history of Allen Edmonds, this time-honored pattern is almost inseparably linked to the familiar burgundy hue when horsehide is used. A production in deep black shell cordovan does not appear in the regular catalogs of the past and surrounds this shoe with an aura of the hidden and mysterious. It is a fascinating piece of craftsmanship history that transports the observer to a time when individual wishes beyond the standard were still fulfilled by hand.
The very fact that this model exists is testament to a highly exclusive made-to-order production, in which a highly demanding customer commissioned their own vision. Such custom builds are rare evidence of a close collaboration between connoisseur and manufacturer, which took place far removed from mass production. The unseen combination of the Sanford design and the black horsehide makes this pair an absolute exception on the international market. It can be considered almost certain that perhaps only a handful of these versions have ever seen the light of the workshop worldwide.
The masterfully crafted horsehide presents itself in its perfect form, smooth and permeated by a rich, dark shine. The ornate perforations stand out against the deep black surface with their very own, understated elegance and give the shoe a sublime depth. It is a masterpiece that, in its mere presence, makes time stand still and offers the connoisseur the rare opportunity to behold a true unique specimen of craftsmanship.
Model: Sanford (Made-to-Order)
Size: US Size 8 E (EU Size 41.5 / UK Size 7.5)
Total outer length: approx. 30 cm
Inner length: approx. 26.9 cm
Width: approx. 10.5 cm
Leather / Outer condition: The upper leather is in an excellently preserved and only minimally worn overall condition. The shell cordovan vamps have maintained their shape exceptionally well, which indicates consistent storage on shoe trees and professional care. The interior of the shoes is also in flawless condition.
Heel / Sole: Both the outsoles and the leather heels show only marginal signs of use. This extremely low level of wear points to very rare use, which evidently took place primarily indoors.
Other: Like an undiscovered poem made of deep black horsehide, the Allen Edmonds Sanford rests in timeless sublimity, waiting for its true connoisseur.
Original box and shoe bags are included.
Seller's Story
Welcome to my page for premium first- and second-hand men’s shoes.
“Chance favors the prepared mind.”
Louis Pasteur (1822–1895)
The idea of offering exceptional and carefully selected men’s shoes arose from a deep personal passion and long-standing experience with this fundamental element of the classic wardrobe. For me, a masterfully crafted shoe is far more than a mere object of utility – it is the visible expression of individuality, character, and refined taste.
The focus is on traditional craftsmanship, excellent materials, and the enduring quality of timeless classics. Let yourself be inspired by this fascination and discover true treasures of the first- and second-hand segment in my shoe showcase, which impress with uncompromising quality and character.
