I find patent lace-ups rather unattractive.

They'll be fine. provided you can get the AEs for around $100 (with the 30% off thing that's about). As bals not strictly correct, but who's counting?

for a tuxedo shoe, as long as they are black patent or highly mirror polished, with a thin sole.
i think those are fine.

for me, elegant semi-formal shoes i dont count in bal or blucher as much as the shape of the shoe.
if the shape is nice enough and not blobby, then i dont mind.

i would not mind wearing one of those very elegant 2-eyelet derbies in a patent for a semi formal like that one from dimitri above.
