Bought this pair of shoes for a high school student. This is his favorite pair of shoes. There is a drawstring pouch for each shoe in the box to protect the suede. He wore them to four formal occasions; and his shoes were the subject of several discussions at each event (adults and children). Many asked where he bought them. Looks way better with a tuxedo than a regular suit. Great price and good quality. AGAINST (single): The back of the shoe in the ankle area appears to read, "I was designed to be a left shoe, not a right one and vice versa. He didn't mind too much because he really liked the style of his tuxedos and had no intention of taking them off in public.
