Bought from GothPikes. I'm the first owner. Real patent leather. Scuffs on the toes and creases near the straps but still very wearable. Size EU 38 / US women's 8 and true to size. They're too small for me even though I tried breaking them in. Worn a few times. These were my first pair of real pikes shoes and love how they look but I just can't wear them anymore.
