Two-Tone Saddle Shoes
Goodyear-welted leather shoes in two-tone style as an expression of joy of life
In the Roaring Twenties, there was an economic boom in America that also influenced fashion with its enthusiasm and extravagance. Among the youth, black and white leather half-shoes were very popular. They completed the colorful college look with chinos or jeans, a polo shirt, and a tweed jacket. The term "Saddle Shoes" comes from the specific construction: the basic cut of the shaft for these comfortable men's shoes is reminiscent of a horse saddle. So they are not designated as riding shoes, as one might think. As variations, there are the classic closed lacing like Oxford or as Derby with open lacing.

Saddle Shoes for Men. And Women.
A comfortable shoe model in a cool design, with which one stands out and can express one's liveliness and spontaneity on any occasion, is of course not only a must-have for men, but also equally interesting for stylish ladies. So the ladies' world quickly took possession of these half shoes. In small sizes, a saddle shoe also cuts a fine figure as a women's shoe, preferably with a small heel. This footwear looks fantastic with a petticoat and is great for dancing or performing on stage! That's why this shoe model is especially popular in the rockabilly scene, but its appeal goes far beyond that. These half shoes are less of a fashion product or mere accessory and more of an expression of a way of life, rightfully earning the title of statement shoes.
Saddle Shoes have a long tradition
Saddle shoes are also known as spectator shoes or two-tone shoes (two-tone) shoes. Even Al Capone wore these black and white shoes, which is why they are sometimes referred to as Al Capone shoes. Saddle shoes were already around during the Prohibition era. The later rock & roll scene made these former mafia shoes truly fashionable, as did Frank Sinatra. This feeling of coolness, rebellion, and independence is inseparably attached to the saddle shoe.
Saddle Shoes are for the extroverted gentleman who is not afraid to stand out. Because whether a pair of these leather shoes reminds one of the dark past of Al Capone as 1920s shoes or 30 years later as 1950s shoes for rock and roll, with a Saddle Shoe you will make a statement and it fits both casual wear and stage outfits.
