Great Dress Shoe
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great shoe. Bought it to wear with a tux (not a fan of patent leather) but wore it with a suit and it also looked great. Will buy the brown at some point.

Quality formal shoe
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Quality of the shoe is top notch, consistent with other AE shoes that I have purchased. I had previously purchased this same shoe in a standard leather (versus patent leather). These shoes are cut slightly differently (perhaps the material) and I ended up going with a narrower size than in the standard leather to avoid heel lift. Exchange process was easy and professional. The look of the Carlyle patent leather is obviously the same as the standard Carlyle dress show, more traditional that many tux-shoe offerings but very appropriate for formal wear and look great with the tux.
