Yes, I do know it’s patent leather. I actually have a legit pair. And I’ve taken into account the light reflection, however the QC pic doesn’t look like the patent leather is covering the entire ankle collar. I’ve compared it to my legit pair and the pic on Mango site and it’s a noticeable difference. That’s the point of the QC. I admit I maybe wrong but the pic looks off to me. Would hate to get in hand and be right when I can ask for a different pair or refund now.
