As someone who has worn evening pumps since acquiring my first dinner jacket decades ago, I think this pair will be a great additon to my unnecessairily extensive collection of formal footwear.

As an owner of said opera pumps, I am delighted to have shoes that both cannot be worn with anything BUT the tuxedo, and at the same time are mistaken by the unwashed as girl's shoes. Little girl's shoes. Pappagallos. Due to the current trend of velvet slippers in lieu of actual pumps as acceptable formal shoe wear, I would expect that the Louboutin pumps will be wonderfully appropriate for tuxedo wear.
