I ordered a pair of Honigs patent leather plate shoes for a web disfunctional friend of mine. Man, are they nice. Very light, if that's a consideration, shiny and well built. I'd consider these ahead my Davis models.

I wonder if they'll put out a high top version next year.

Steep statement! ;) I wouldn't trade my Davis shoes for anything.

I will say I do have a pair of the patent leather base shoes from Honig's....no complaints here, it's a good shoe.
