I have these shoes in a black patent an a black leather and love them!  The black patent pair is worn out completely and can't bring myself to through them out.  The black leather ones took a bit of time to get "broken in" if you will, but now I wear them several times a week.  So I ordered the black lizard in my usual size and they were sooooooooooooooo tight and stiff that I couldn't even walk around the house in them.  There was no way breaking them in would be an easy task, so disappointedly, I had to send them back.  I have never worn a size "wide" in my life and would've ordered them again in the wide width, but they only are available in RED. Anddddddddd, you stopped making them in patent leather!!  Why?? :(
