These are comfortable and absolutely fun. People you don't know will stop you and want to know where you got them. Of course I say my favorite place -- Zappos. I think they make you feel younger and kind of sassy. What more can you ask from a shoe - fun, comfortable, and makes you feel good. Don't be a square, buy them.

I bought these shoes to complete a Halloween costume. I have worn them two more times since then! I absolutely love them! I am on a one woman crusade to bring back saddles!! They are so comfortable.

This shoe has a nice snug, supportive fit without being too tight. I have a size 6.5 slightly wide foot and my feet like being in these! Their look is a bit striking as the white leather is really white. I've always loved saddle shoes and I'm on a mission to bring them back! My only complaint would be the very stiff, sharp edge to the heel area. I use shoe horns to put them on without the edge digging into my heel. But once they're on, they feel great.

Narrow, pointy toes. I think that saddle shoes should have round toes, not pointy. Very hard upper. Ouch. Sadly, the search for cuteness continues.

Great shoes -- recommended! I am a female and I bought them for myself. Nice business causal shoes to wear with pants. Be warned -- they are huge! I sent them back because they were way too big. Even when I got the replacement shoes at half a size smaller, they are still a smidge large. If you're a size 7, order a size 6.5, or even 6!

I ordered the white/navy combination in 1/2 size smaller than what I normally wear. It was too small so, I called Zappos. In less than 15 hours, I had the correct size in my hands! How do they do this? Anyway, the shoes are just what I wanted and I love them. (I also love Zappos.)

I bought these shoes to wear as part of my dance troupe's costume. I danced/marched in these for 7 hours straight one day and 5 in the next and my feet felt great. They are stiff, and seem to run small, so I went up a size. I did add some moleskin to the inside of the shoe, since I had to dance in them for so many hours, and that helped a lot. A very well made shoe!

I have searched for these for many moons ! Ahhhh, they look exactly how I expected. Definitely a narrow shoe, but perfect for my narrow feets! Great arch support; not for wide feet, that's for sure. I love them! I typically wear a 36 in Danskos, and a 6 in Fryes. I have room to move in both, but these fit like a glove, but not too tight! Sweet!

I used to wear these all the time when I was younger because I went to a catholic school and they were a part of my uniform. Who would have guessed years later I'd wear them because I actually liked them?! Just got these in the mail today. I was afraid they were going to be too small by looking at them but they fit perfect. Normally I wear a 9.5 in regular sneakers so I'm glad I looked at the size chart because I went up to a 10. A 9 would have definitely been too small so definitely use the size chart and measure your feet! The arch support is spectacular. My feet feel really good in these. Love them!

I love these shoes. They are comfortable and look so cute. As other reviewers have mentioned they are a snug fit or maybe a bit narrow, depending on the shape of your foot. I just wear thin socks and haven't had a problem.

I purchased these to wear with trousers and chinos when I know I will be doing a lot of walking. The white was too stark so I had my shoe repair folks dye the white a deep cordovan color. The look is eye-catching and my feet are now clad in comfortable and supportive real shoes instead of sneakers. I am a happy walker! The styling is slimmer than traditional saddle shoes but this appeals to me because I wear them with tailored/slim pants.
Brands I'd also recommend: School Issue (clunker, traditional saddle shoes)

Besides the shoes being exactly what I wanted both in appearance and high quality build, the service was outstanding! I paid no shipping cost to have them sent to me and when they were the wrong size, I paid no shipping to exchange them. It was a quick and easy exchange and I couldn't be happier!

Love this shoe. Classic styling. Been searching for a while now and this brand most closely resembles a true saddle shoe from days gone by. Not a flimsy shoe either, very substantial and appears well made. Had some issues with sizing, but as always, Zappos was there with an immediate replacement (I mean next day...how do they do it?). I would suggest sizing up. I typically wear a woman's 9, but eventually went with a woman's 10. The fit is perfect and I can wear a somewhat thicker sock for extra cushioning and comfort if necessary. Watch the sizing when ordering as it is listed as unisex, but box and shoe were both labeled as womans. Zappos reps were a big help. Don't hesitate to speak with them when ordering to ensure the correct item is ordered. Thanks again Zappos, your customer service is #1.

I bought this shoe for my 9yrs old son. These are so hard to fine in the stores in his size. I love this shoe is fit true to size and my son states that they are very comfortable. No regrets.

Love these shoes, everyone comments how cool they are (you know, in a retro way). They do seem to run a bit tight in length and width. Maybe order a half size larger and the width will be fine. If you plan to wear thick socks, go a full size larger. The soles are somewhat stiff for those of you that need structure and support -- if you're looking for cush stuff, these are not flexible enough. As a chef, these work great for me on my feet all day. (And they match my white chef coat and B&W houndstooth pants -- these shoes are becoming my signature look!)
