My twins were at prom and wanted monks with thongs. I asked them to look around online and on some sites they were very expensive. We went to Wxpress where they bought their jackets and bought two pairs there for about $64 40% off and they weren't even leather but we didn't have that much time before the party anyway. I said let me check Amazon. I've bought pretty much everything there, rest 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.
