Just got the burgundy shine derbies in the mail in a size 41. It's really not that shiny, not anywhere close to patent leather. Maybe just a bit shinier than regular dress shoe leather. Nice shape, looks decent. The "stormwelt construction" doesn't seem too refined in construction (not distressed, but not smooth or polished). Overall, I like 'em.
They fit a bit smaller than the usual CP shoes, though, hence....
