These Anne Klein patent leather loafers have fared well over time.  This line of shoes are still appreciated for many reasons.  For me, a patent leather finish on bags or shoes silently tells those around you that you are special, you are going, or have been, somewhere special and you often unintentionally command attention.   I hate to lose these shoes because I have grown used to not having to initiate conversations in certain situations.  The shoes were often asked about before business was discussed.
