This is a great novelty that I've been preparing for you for some time now (at least since the Second Empire). After a lot of mental dithering, I decided that you were now ready to welcome the sublime into your home. Which is why it was time for the Al Pacina to arrive. First and foremost, the Al Pacina is a classy boot that will brighten up your evenings, but also your mornings, your class councils, your never-ending meetings, your cocktail hours and your unlikely dates. In short, the Al Pacina is the Rolls of the boots, the Bentley of the kicks, and I say that even though I don't particularly like cars. But as I know that more and more men are coming to read my texts, I'm obliged to adapt my lexical field to those who come to discover me. So here's the Al Pacina, which did indeed go to the Actor's Studio and is now ready to make your life as pleasant as possible, thanks to its 5.5 cm heel and chevrons that will make you the most envied woman in your neighbourhood and beyond.

For the nubuck part, it's important to waterproof the material before the first use, and then frequently if you want to keep your shoes in good condition. Be careful to waterproof only the nubuck, as the glitter does not require any special care apart from attention and constant love. Avoid prolonged exposure to sun and water. Be sure to remove the protective plastic from the soles before wearing your shoes, once you're sure you won't be returning them for a refund, and don't wait too long to have your soles fitted with a no slip pad by an experienced cobbler.
