Patent shoes are everywhere. In all colours of the rainbow with platforms and high heels. I’m getting 80s flashbacks. I remember my first pair of patent shoes. Now, I’m not including the patent Mary Jane’s that every girl had. I’m talking the first pair of patent shoes I bought myself. Black patent leather Dr. Martins shoes, not boots. Pointed toe and not round. I loved them, they were my “housing” shoes. Memories.

I digress. I wonder how many people will actually adopt this new trend. Patent is really great in theory. Thinking back now, those Dr. Martins were awful. Misguided youth, I say. It will be interesting to see how many of these shoes are left over at sale time.
