my twins had a big prom and they wanted strapped monks, i asked them to search the internet and they were very expensive on some websites, we went to wxpress where they bought their jackets and two Couple bought there for about $64 after a 40% discount and they weren't even leather but we didn't have much time before the party anyway. I said let me check Amazon. I've bought pretty much everything else there and found these shoes and they look great and are well made and comfortable. I showed them to my husband and he liked them so I ordered a pair for him too, my 3 boys looked very stylish. I am attaching a photo of my boys so you can see how elegant they looked.
