Yes - wholecut = 1 piece of leather for the entirety of the shoe so the strip closing the gap is exactly what makes it not a wholecut.so that strip is there to close the gap beneath it. I guess we could remove it but its an aesthetic choice made.
Could you show me a picture of something you consider to be closed as a genuine wholecut Chelsea? I can get it in as a customization maybe.
