Beautiful shoe. Up close, it is more glossy (take note of that). It is worth it for unique/special occasions. I bought them for my daughter's baptism. Incredibly comfortable for this type of shoe. Restful. And of course, they come with a shoe polishing sponge and a fabric carrying bag in their box. I recommend them 100%.

I haven't worn it yet, but even though I put it on for a little while, it feels comfortable to me. If you like it in the photos, you will be thrilled with it up close, it is very nice. The brown one was even nicer up close, but I think the black one matched better with the suit I want to pair it with. Both the black and the brown are quite shiny, and if you wanted to later pair it with a more casual outfit, I don't think they would go well. It is a very good shoe in my opinion.
