This is really not the thread for this, which is probably why no one answered you the first time. Your Park Avenues are a great "investment." Take care of them though. Don't wear them everyday, and polish and condition them as needed. Search around for shoe care/Park Avenue information if you need more, or start your own thread.

You've done it again! They're gorgeous!

Did you make a special request for the Italian polish?

You took an already sleek shoe and made it even more sleek by removing the medallion, bravo! They are gorgeous!

VR: What exactly is the Italian Polish finish? Does it allow for a high gloss shine?

Stunning shoes btw. Possibly the nicest Vass I have ever seen.
