Frankly, I could have sworn that this was advertised as patent leather.  I only recently noticed that it was manmade materials (looking at the shoe imprint), and I notice it says that now in the description.  I really don't recall that when I bought these.  I rarely go to this pricepoint for manmade materials.  Why should I when I can go to a "made in china" cheap knock off store?

Very disappointed.
