Paul Parkman Patina Leather Wholecut Oxford

I would like to start by saying that I was more irritated by my experience filling this survey than anything relating to the shoes. During the little time needed to write this review, pop-ups obstructed the screen, took over the active window from the one in which I was typing, MULTIPLE TIMES. What that does is you keep typing for a few more strokes to nothing. Extremely annoying. I question the judgment of those with the authority to authorize this nonsense, as this practice belongs to a market segment that is low, cheap, shady - unlikely what the brand ethos of a premium brand like Dellamoda should be.
Now to the shoes. They are high quality, comfortable, and overall consistent with the top price they cost. However, and this is probably partially my fault for not doing a more in-depth research before the purchase, the teal colored top is far more prominent than was apparent (to me) based on the photos. It's too much and changes the character from a nice brown base to something too vivid and almost incompatible with business settings - limiting my ability to find appropriate settings to wear this expensive pair of shoes.
