ABOUT MR. PARKINSON PATENT BLACK

Mr. Parkinson Patent Black shoes take their name from Heath Parkinson, the respected Australian French horn player whose poise and precision on stage made him a standout. There’s a similar sense of finesse in this pair — refined, polished, and designed for moments when presentation really counts.

Patent black footwear has always held a special place in formal dressing, and this pair delivers that high-gloss finish with a modern, understated confidence. What sets them apart is the hidden 8cm (3.2") height boost, shaped smoothly into the design so the shoe keeps its classic profile. You get the extra height without any change to the clean lines or proportions — it simply feels natural once they’re on.

Each pair is crafted from premium patent leather that reflects light beautifully, giving the shoes a crisp, elevated look ideal for tuxedos, tailored suits, and any event with a dress code worth respecting. Inside, the cushioned non-compressing polyurethane insole provides long-lasting comfort, so whether you're sitting through a ceremony, standing for photos, or moving between venues, your feet stay supported. A sturdy outsole rounds things out with stability and grip, avoiding the stiffness that so many formal shoes tend to have.

Styling them couldn’t be easier. With dark dress pants, they offer a sharp, elegant finish; with a full suit or tuxedo, they complete the look with the right amount of shine. Weddings, black-tie galas, important dinners — wherever you need to look put-together and composed, these shoes fit the moment.

Slip into Mr. Parkinson Patent Black and you’ll feel the difference straight away. They add height, polish, and a steady sense of confidence — all wrapped in a timeless design crafted to last beyond a single big event.
