They are very nice shoes, although they don't look exactly patent leather. More of a high polished leather. Regardless, they're appear to be well designed and constructed. Wether wearing them with a tuxedo or an appropriate suit, you should look well heeled. TBP

I think they don't measure up, especially on SF, could be wrong though . . .

I personally don't like patent leather in the first place . . . . even with a tuxedo . . .

Basically someone gave me a nice new patent leather Ferre belt as present but I have no matching shoes and don't plan to wear a tuxedo.

If buying shoes from CT, remember to size down 1/2 from what they list as your "UK Size."

(I'm a US 10.5 and bought a UK 10, which is exactly 1/2 a size too big.)

Do you really want to keep the belt? Was it from someone special? Can you exchange it?

If you are not a paramour of style, when you wear patent shoes, people will think they are rented.
