Shiny

These are a blast from the 1960s.  I'm not usually a big fan of patent leather; it usually looks like plastic (modern equivalents usually are), creases very easily, and doesn't look right with everything but formal kits.

That said, I love these shoes.  The mix of patent leather and leather stamped to look like crocodile skin is perfect.  The sleek styling and elegantly rounded toes are also perfect.  This is a pair of shoes meant to be worn out on the town with your best getup and your woman on your arm.


Amazing shoes you just don't see very often.
