I purchased these shoes to wear with a suit for a wedding.  I was shocked when they arrived, as these shoes are the crazy looking, super-elongated style of shoe that was popular in Italy a while ago.  Fortunately, some of the 20 something wedding party were also wearing these style of shoes, so I didn't look out of place.

BUT, the photo in the ad is definitely deceptive.  These shoes look like clown shoes, in my opinion.  They are not a "normal" Rockport style dress shoe.
