However, whoa is right about your definition being misleading (inaccurate). Whoa is also correct in that the image you used for an Oxford is actual a Blucher (also known as a Derby). Also note that what you are referring to as a Sandal is actually a Thong. A sandal is held on the foot by a strap across the instep. As for polishing a patent leather shoe with the blackest of black shoe polish: Black shoe polish only comes in one color (Black), and it should not be used to polish patent leather. Patent leather should be cleaned not polished with shoe polish.

Mmmm, I can hardly control myself. Here in Bahrain girls love men who wear sexy boat shoes. It's such a turn on. Looking at these shoes gets me all hot and bothered.
