Hi all -
I am looking to purchase a pair of tuxedo shoes. I know the most "technically" correct is a patent opera pump w/ satin bow, but am shying away from this due to their lack of popular use these days. I am leaning towards a patent leather bal, or alternatively a calfskin bal with high shine. However, I wear narrow shoes (13B in AE 5 last), and am struggling to find anything patent leather in a narrow size, which may result in going with something like the AE Carlyle if I can't find anything. Do any of you know where to locate a more traditional formal shoe in a wider range of sizes other than Medium or Wide?
