I love my black patent pumps. I have had them for about a month now and they are my go-to shoe for the office and for the various holiday cocktail parties. The look great with suits and because they are patent, they fit nicely with both my red and my black cocktail dresses (satin and velvet).  The profile is slimmer and sexier than some wedges - not clunky. The toe is cut low on the foot, which also helps with the slimmer look.  I will buy in every color. I wear a 9 medium and fit was perfect.  I may get a backup pair in the same color.
