I absolutely love the shoes but the toe is so hard and the leather seems tough. My feet were not very "Happy Feet", pardon the pun. I will search and order something similar, just not the school issue ones. Thanks Zappo's and I love the North Star Jacket. Sincerely, Susan

These are one of my favorite pairs of shoes! They are perfectly classic and pair great with a cigarette pant or jean. Adorable!

I received my shoes 01/04/17 and I opened the package and I was like OMG BEAUTIFUL I couldn't wait to try them on I normally wear a 7.5 and they fit but my toes are at tip of shoes ?? I reached ZAPPOS by phone and the customer service helped me with an exchange no charge and sent me a size 8 I was so happy I'm sending the 7.5 back today. For persons who wears a true 7.5 I recommend you 1/2 size up to an 8 and shoe should fit Perfectly. I will keep checking for other colors. These shoes are timeless vintage conversation piece. Stylish, Comfortable, sturdy and can be worn definitely school, work, date dressed up or down. A must own shoe. Thank You ZAPPOS. Robin E. Aka Khadijah Philadelphia

Bought these for my daughter to wear with her costume in a theater production. They are perfect. Run true to size and felt comfortable when she first put them on. Just a classic saddle shoe, and perfect for her performance.

Darn it - these seemed heavier than they did in college. Had to return them and see if I can find a lighter pair.

Love these shoes. Wore them in high school and always loved them. Just wanted to get a pair to wear again. They fit true to size and are very comfortable. Nice soft insole but no arch support. Not a problem to remove insoles if you have orthotics as I do. Nice thick rubber outer sole and very durable. Upper is leather. These will last a LONG time, I'm thinking. Reasonable shipping time. Overall, I'm very satisfied with this purchase.

Love the shoes! Comfortable and well built. Reminds me of the shoes I wore in grade school. Looks great with a pair of cuffed Skinny Jeans!

I love these shoes! I got them for work to wear with jeans, dresses and pants. They go with everything! I normally wear a size 8 but after reading reviews I got them in a 7 1/2 m and they are perfect! The toe area is wide and leaves plenty of wiggle room. I wore them with low profile socks till they got broken-in because on me they were rubbing in the heel. After wearing them twice they are perfect!

We had a 1950's sock hop for the oldies at my club and I needed inexpensive saddle shoes. These were great and extremely well made for the price. And they were comfortable. Great buy and not just for a costume!

I missed my saddle shoes from High School and was glad to have found these. It really takes me back to the "good ole days". These shoes were the 3rd pair that I had ordered. Wish I had ordered these first! I also remembered the blisters I got on my heels from "breaking them in", so this time I put band aids on my heels for the first few times. Guess I will have to give them 4 stars for comfort as they do need "breaking in".

At first I was a little hesitant on purchasing these shoes even with the good rating. Once I received them I couldn't wait to put them on! At first they felt stiff but I'm sure after a few days they will be just fine. I'm normally a size 7 in which I ordered the correct size. They feel a bit tight around the heel but the foot bed has ample room. After the first two hours I received many compliments! I'm wearing them with socks and they're a bit snug. They are also prone to scuffing so use the correct protectant and they should be fine. Super fast shipping on these bad boys and customer service is amazing! Will be ordering from Zappos again for sure!

I love this shoe! The only issue I am having is the left shoe fits perfect and the right shoe is way too tight. It could be an issue with my right foot maybe, so I will wait and hope that I will be able to wear them soon.

I love these, love 'em! I had been looking for quite some time, they are very comfortable, great sole on them, yes hard leather but will soften up as I wear them, no complaints at all. My granddaughter loved them so much that she is wearing them for the weekend, as she put it to break them in for me. So, I let her. I may have lost them to her; hope not, she took pictures to send to her friends. She fell in love with them too. Thanks for a great shoe.

The half size did go wider in the W. I am very happy with the thick soles and comfy interior. My usual picks are Nike mens or Birkenstock. I have wide feet for a woman. Spoiled wide feet that found a comfortable high fashion shoe.

Love, love, love this shoe! I'm hoping that they get the blue and white ones back in stock soon. This shoe is very comfortable and
just gets better the more you wear them.

First put them on they are comfortable. They remind me of the 50's. I like any shoe that black and white with high quality. Leather is thick will last a lifetime.

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.

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.
