Customer Reviews School Issue Varsity (Adult)

Love these shoes. Have the Jumping Jacks in blue and white and these fit much better. May not be good if you have to be on your feet all day. Been a long time since I've had shoes that I'm NOT in a hurry to get out of! Have gotten many compliments in a short time. Recommend Zappos to all who ask. Great service, great product.

Love them! I ordered a wide. I'm in between regular and wide but these fit perfectly. They are thick leather so have taken a bit to break in but they will be a favorite for many years to come.

These shoes are extremely comfortable. I ordered a half size up. I'm a 7.5 but ordered the 8 and they fit perfectly. Another review suggested to order up a half size and I'm glad I did. Immediately wore them and there was no break in issues.

I absolutely love these shoes. They are really attractive and comfortable. They seem really well made and I look forward to years of wear.

Cute and sorta quirky. Fun with jeans. Nice support and solid construction. Wear a 7 or 7.5. Got 7W and nailed it. Zappos return guarantee makes it possible. Quick ship is amazing.

Good shoe for a great price. I also want to add that Zappos service never fails -- I ordered the wrong size, and Zappos shipped my correct size before I'd returned the others. Excellent.

I am thrilled to death with my shoes. I had been wanting a pair for years and could not find them, then I found you. I will be shopping more with you.

Very pleased with the look and feel of the shoes. Look forward to wearing with my jeans in the fall and winter.

These appear to be excellent shoes. It is so good to find a saddle shoe with the original full foot -- not the narrow toe of golf shoes. They have very little arch support - so for some of us inserts are a big help. Producers seem to have forgotten these are unisex shoes. Almost impossible to find in adult male sizes, so purchased the equivalent female size and this has worked well. Thanks to Zappos for making these available.

Very nice saddle shoe with quality materials. Changed the shoelaces to plain white ones, the black laces were just not right. Sent back a different pair of saddle shoes because they hurt my feet and these are much better.

I have used Zappos 3 times. Twice I kept the shoes, once I returned a pair. I have verbally recommended Zappos to all (and there are many) who have smiled at me with nostalgic stories while complimenting my saddle shoes from Zappos. Delivery is speedy, returns simple with no issues. Shoes match description. I am a perfectly satisfied customer of Zappos!

I love these shoes! First purchase I make on this site, am very satisfied with the immediate service and most important, true to size fit and quality of the shoes. Will certainly be the first of many purchases in the future. Thank you!

These shoes are really cute and extremely well made. The leather is good quality and the shoe is comfortable. However, the new leather is very stiff and there is a considerable "break in" period. I would recommend anyone prone to blisters use preventative measures such as taping your heels before wearing to eliminate the problems with breaking them in.

Love the Varsity adult. Great support and looks good with my scrubs. I ordered a 6.5 medium but it was a little narrow for me, but my feet may have grown so not sure. I tried to exchange for a 6.5W but out of stock. I would really like it in brown and white like the originals.

I am very happy with my Varsity shoes. Good fit the first time and only took a few hours to break them in and it was not painful. These are the coolest shoes I have had in a long time. It is fun hearing so many different comments also. One of the common ones is "I didn't think they made those anymore." I had wanted the black and white version but since they were out of stock, I went with the navy blue. These are just as good. In fact, they look so much like the black and white, that I decided not to get the black and white in addition. I thought I would want these also. So I appreciate the notification that they are now available. Thank you Zappos! Your company sounds like a fun group that promotes good humor into your business world.

This was the first time using Zappos.com. I'd always wanted saddle shoes and they aren't carried in any local shoe store that I could find. It was so easy. The reviews were a big help. I can see where they run a bit small so I went up a 1/2 size. I could have went up a whole size. But I broke them in by wearing them for short trips. These are the shoes I lived from my youth. They are very nice quality. And regular shipping was very fast.

Kudos to Zappos' easy return policy - the process of getting this shoe in the right size was hassle free...and worth the effort! I don't always wear a wide shoe, but ordered 9W upon reading other reviews. I wound up trying the 9.5 W and finally found success with 10W. However, being mis-sized is the only fault with these shoes! This is a wonderfully sturdy shoe; as a teacher, I'm on my feet all day and my feet are happily supported in these saddle oxfords! I highly recommend for comfort! But, let's be honest, the saddle shoes were purchased to satisfy a nostalgic bend: I wore Saddle Oxfords through high school in the 70s. This is a fun and happy nod to my past. Even more fun is the stream of like-minded public that offers compliments and reminisces with me. Buy these shoes and I guarantee you'll find happiness in your step!

I LOVE these shoes! Comfortable and true to size. Makes me feel like I'm back in the 50's again!

These shoes are great! And very comfortable. My only comment would be they do run narrow and have to be "broken in" before they are fully comfortable. I love them!

I compared this shoe with the more expensive Bass Enfield saddle shoe. This shoe has a nice, rounded toe with plenty of room and, to me, has the more "traditional" look of a saddle oxford than the more streamlined Bass. I also like its white tongue. The Bass has a slight edge in comfort, as it's a softer leather.

I love these shoe! I looked all over. For them but only found cheap knock offs. These are great. The fit is perfect and they look incredible. Zappos has wonderful customer service. They get 5 stars and a thumbs up! I would highly recommend them. They are like the old time shoe stores. They really care about their customers and they work with you.

I wear 8B usually, but I have already returned that size and tried 9W and it STILL feels too short and tight. Very cute shoe but I am returning this pair as well.

I used to wear these as a kid! Got them again for a merchandising job. Great comfort and support. I did get the wide based on other reviews and I am glad I did. It is a very sturdy shoe. I had no breaking in period. Nice right out of the box.
