Nice shoes! FWIW, I use the term "suicide heel" to refer to an all-leather heel, especially one with a V-cleat. Combo rubber/leather heels are considerably safer, IMO.

Full leather soles and "suicide heels":
The second pair is the "Edward" model in chocolate-brown:
A nice touch is this explanation of the welting process on the inside of the box top:
These shoes are a really good value in my opinion; all leather construction and the lasts tend to fit narrow in the heel and wide at the ball of the foot. The Kensingtons were ninety-nine euros and the Edwards were eighty-five.
