Bought these shoes for my husband to wear with his Charlies (one of his uniforms), because the shoes that come with the uniform are shiny black plastic and very uncomfortable. He thought he'd need to polish these to a high shine, but when they arrived (right on time with Prime, 2-day shipping) we discovered they are already very shiny black leather. He wore them last Friday and said they were "comfortable" and "perfect". Thanks Amazon. :)
