I did. The only time I wore good shoes was during school term, in California, shoes that went well with the uniforms of the Catholic schools I attended. The rest of the year I was bare foot or flip flops. I prefer to be bare footed still.
I wonder how much of the child is still "me".
oh i imagine they were stiff...i would take bare feet any day
ReplyDeleteI only saw shoes like these on American TV shows...
ReplyDeleteOur drill team wore those with our off the field outfits.
ReplyDeleteOh I did. I loved saddle shoes.. there were the rounded toes and later the pointy toe. And eventually they came out with different colours. I think it's time they made a comeback.
ReplyDeleteHmmm.. I've just googled them and they are still (or again) available. Who knew? :)
Never had shoes like that in England. We had Clark's sandals instead.
ReplyDeleteNope, never wore them, at least not so as I'd admit to.
ReplyDeleteOh yes, I wore saddle shoes... but only because I was a cheerleader and we had to. Otherwise, I'd wear anything but!
ReplyDeleteThat was a real memory flashback for me :-)

In Texas they were black suede penny loafers with socks just like these. And skirts! I can't imagine it today. Great oxfords, wish they had been in style in my school. :-)
ReplyDeleteI never wore them, but I dug the way they looked on others. I, too, am a flip flop, bare feet, or tennis shoe kinda girl.
ReplyDeleteSaddle shoes! Yeah, I wore them. The tan and blue kind with red soles. I remember having to polish them with saddle soap. Formative years.
ReplyDeleteI wore a black and white pair when I was maybe six years old or so. Then later, when I attended a Catholic high school, I had to wear an ugly gray pair as part of my school uniform. Hated them!
ReplyDeleteI'm with you. I'll be barefoot whenever I have the chance!
I remember seeing saddle shoes, but had a pair. They don't look very comfortable. I'm with you - flip flops, bare feet, sneakers, or this time of year, a nice pair of warm, cozy socks around the house.
