Marc Jacobs "Clinton" Python Embossed Oxfords SZ 39EU, 8.5/9US

I confess: I purposefully scuffed the soles of these shoes to help prevent slipping. Then I only wore them three times. Toe box is a bit too narrow for my long-term comfort. But boy! These shoes make a statement! They are unique and gorgeous. The gradation in color is fascinating when they're on your feet. The colors move from the deepest navy to Prussian blue to the pale blue-grey at the toes. The python print runs throughout. While I've barely worn them, I've derived a ton of satisfaction and joy simply looking at them in my closet. Smoke free, pup-friendly home.
