Description from the seller
Ludwig Reiter Shell Cordovan UK Size 7 (EU Size 41) Cap-Toe Oxford Dark Antique Whiskey + Shoe Trees
The Ludwig Reiter Cap-Toe Oxford on the Engländer last is among the most sophisticated interpretations of classic men's footwear from the Viennese manufactory. In the late 19th and early 20th century, the English style (the ideal of the British gentleman) became the absolute global benchmark for formal men's attire. The classic morning coat or business suit imperatively demanded a flatter, more elegant shoe with closed lacing. To cater to precisely this cosmopolitan and discerning Viennese clientele, whose sartorial orientation was towards London, the house of Reiter developed the "Engländer". This last adopts the flowing, elongated shape of British bespoke shoes and unites it with traditional Viennese craftsmanship.
Crafted from exquisite Shell Cordovan, this shoe reveals a fascinating depth through its exceptional patina in the shade Dark Antique Whiskey. The masterfully antiqued finish of the noble horse leather lends the model an urban nobility with an inherent, quiet melancholy – as if the silent constancy of long bygone days were reflected in its warm amber shimmer, seamlessly merging with the clear lines of the last. Together with the welted leather sole, it creates footwear of unobtrusive dignity that preserves the balance between British restraint and Central European craftsmanship.
Size: UK Size 7 (EU Size 41)
Total outer length: approx. 28.7 cm
Inner length: approx. 26.8 cm
Width: approx. 10 cm
Leather/ Outer condition: The pair is in a very well-kept, lightly worn overall condition. The Shell Cordovan upper leather in the shade Dark Antique Whiskey displays an amber nuance with a magnificent iridescence. Thanks to consistent storage on shoe trees, the shape of the upper has been excellently preserved. The lining and the entire interior present themselves in an extremely clean condition.
Heel/ Sole: The original leather soles and leather heels are in a very well-kept condition. The original Ludwig Reiter rubber heel tips show hardly any wear and confirm the overall very good state of preservation of the pair.
Miscellaneous: A Ludwig Reiter Cap-Toe Oxford on the Engländer last made of Shell Cordovan, bearing within it the distinguished synthesis of British design language and classic Viennese shoemaking tradition.
The depicted spiral cedar wood shoe trees are included.
Original box and shoe bags are not 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.
