J. Crew Saddle Shoes $69.00

-Simply that, old chums; J. Crew Saddle Shoes in lots of sizes for seventy dollars. How can you beat that? Easy, you cannot. Get 'em while they last. The color you want is "Canvas."

Thanks HJ, I just placed an order. I've always wanted a pair of saddle shoes. The temperature is rising here in my part of California I've been wearing my linen trousers and white shirts, but the missing piece was the shoes. Just need the Jacket now and I've got my Toshiro Mifune outfit from "Stray Dog".

Brilliant! I am only too happy to help.
I am considering buying another pair.

I received my shoes recently and they are a good quality. The only problem I've had is that they were about a full size bigger than marked. I wear a 9 1/2 and had to exchange them for a pair marked 8 1/2 to get a good fit. Other than that they are great and look very vintage. Cheers!

Isn't that strange. Back when I ordered my saddle shoes they were fine, but I also ordered a pair of Barley Bucks (sounds like a grain coupon) which I was swimming in. Both size 12, but the Bucks were clearly more like a 13. They are both nice, well-made shoes though.

But hard to keep clean.

Take a look at this thread. You can buy genuine 1940s saddle shoes, never worn:

I found that the J. Crew shoes are roomy inside. They aren't so much as too big, but rather too high, if you are following me. Usually, an insert does the trick. Then, I find, after a few weeks, they seem to shrink down to my feet and I take the inserts out. -Very strange.

All of their shoes are made in Italy and they are a very good quality, since they can be had for less than $100 when they are on sale.

I've seen those, but so far I haven't seen them in a 12 - though I'm not always looking. They seem to top out at about a 9.5 or 10. Let me know if you happen to see a 12.

I very much agree.

They're a fine looking saddle shoe, but I think I'm still opting for the Muffy's Saddle shoes in the brown & white. I had just bought a pair in a light tan & suede at Nordstroms. Very comfortable indeed.

The suede part is actually lighter than pictured and pairs quite well with my linen trousers.

Cheers!
