Stockw Posted October 23, 2007 Posted October 23, 2007 Personally I think patent looks alittle cheap and too fethishie, also most fashion shoes are matt leather or pu. Have a look on the web for Louboutins Pigalles in patent black, will probably change your opinion!! SW Honestly a girl can't have too many shoes!
Skirted-UK Posted October 23, 2007 Posted October 23, 2007 Its fortunate for us that few women realise how powerful they are in a pair of 4" stiletto heel black patent pumps and a straight black skirt.

HappyFeat Posted October 24, 2007 Posted October 24, 2007 .but for pumps..PATENT IS BEST AGAIN....MY OPINION I agree with this statement whole heartedly! But not just black, however. LailaLily mentioned red in a previous posting, and there is a really cool blue patent that many brands are marketing (at least in my area), that are to die for! Any time I am in the shoe department or a shoe store, it is patent in almost any color that catches my eye. I may be a magpie as well... Style is built from the ground up!
Trolldeg Posted October 24, 2007 Posted October 24, 2007 On the other hand patent leather is really a polymer that is applied to a substrate. Often the substrate is so cheap (would you believe cardboard?) that the object has no real integrity at all. So the things look great - for a while, but then they start to fall apart of their own accord. The old saying still goes - you get what you pay for. Good, high quality leather products will cost more, but they're worth so much more. No, patent leather is leather coated with a glossy material, today most often plastic. But it's still real leather underneath. You're probably thinkihg about PVC.
L.K. Posted October 24, 2007 Posted October 24, 2007 I have some Pat pairs that still look great after many years. Quality is definitely important.
LailaLily Posted October 24, 2007 Posted October 24, 2007 Thanks Happy Feat...sooo true!!! I have seen those blue ones too..theyre really nice!!!!
HappyFeat Posted October 27, 2007 Posted October 27, 2007 Today I witnessed something that made me think about this thread. I was standing in line at a coffee shop today behind a young woman who was dressed trendy, but conservative. She was wearing a black top and gaucho-style pants, but the coup-de-gras was here patent-leather ballet flats. Even though they were flats, the power of patent leather made her look quite sexy. Style is built from the ground up!
Elegant Posted October 27, 2007 Posted October 27, 2007 Well, I wonder what would happen if she wore patent leather ballet HEELS... What is good for a goose, can be good for any gender!
HappyFeat Posted October 27, 2007 Posted October 27, 2007 Well, I wonder what would happen if she wore patent leather ballet HEELS... Of course that would be better...... Style is built from the ground up!
4 ever heels Posted November 18, 2010 Posted November 18, 2010 I love black and shinny heels as I feel they draw more attention to the heels I'm wearing as the shininess really stands out.
