I needed a pair of saddle shoes for a high end 50’s theme charity event. I went all out and bought the poodle skirt and crinoline slip, and of course needed the Saddle Oxfords to complete the look. These fit the bill exactly, They run slightly large, which was a boon for me as the size 10 fits my size 10.5 foot perfectly. They are lightweight and attractive on; they have a lot of give and are quite comfortable. There is even room for an orthopedic insole. The laces are a little bit on the short end but that wasn’t a problem; there was plenty enough to tie them.I’m not sure how well they would hold up over hard use. I would recommend that if you are looking for sturdy, leather-like everyday shoes look elsewhere. If you want a pair of very nice looking and comfortable saddle shoes for occasional dress-up, these are just what you are looking for, and an extremely nice value.SHOPPING TIP: Read the reviews on sizing when buying saddle shoes online. The place where I bought my costume and other sources listed that their saddle oxfords ran SMALL. These were the opposite, which is one of the reasons I chose this Funtasma by Pleaser brand over the others, and this review is specific to that brand.

Since these kind of shoes typically run small I ordered two, one size 11 that fit my size 10.5 feet mostly OK and one size 12 that turned out to be too large. Fit was almost as expected, but unfortunately the ankle area pressed so hard on the side of my foot that after only about 45 minutes of testing them out around the house I started to bleed from the rubbing. Quality was pretty nice for all man-made materials. Returned for refund.

My shoes arrived Yesterday, and I immediately put them on, expecting to have to ‘break them in’ before our Sock Hop.They fit perfectly, and so comfortably, that I wore them the rest of the Day. I take a 6, and most of the reviews stated that their size is accurate, so I ordered a 6, and that is exactly what I received.Brought back Memories, of when my Husband of 48 Years & I began going together, 51 Years ago.He kept watching me..strangely…and finally said: ‘Boy do you look nice in them”. LOLAs I said, Memories.After our Saturday Night Sock Hop, I have the feeling that I’ll be wearing them a lot, most likely at my Husband’s request.They are supportive, comfortable, and bring back The nice Old Days. What more could a Girl ask for?…except a reasonable price, and they are also very reasonably priced.Thanks Prime Mail & Funtasma!

Loved these shoes that I wore to a ’50s-themed party, except for one thing–they didn’t come in half sizes, so I had to wear a 9 instead of 8.5. However, no problem–I could dance in them easily! And the price was right!

These shoes were only okay because they were the final piece to my 50’s costume with a poodle skirt. First of all, they weren’t very comfortable. They didn’t have my size so I ordered the next size up as many said they ran small. I had to stuff the toe with paper and still wore 3 pr. of socks just to keep them on.Secondly, there is something wrong with the heel of the left shoe. Y’know that little packet of crystals that is in most shoe boxes? Unsure what they do, but they are in there. It almost seemed like someone emptied a bag of those crystals into the heel of my shoe. Whenever I took a step with my left food, it would make this noise like a morroca…or a rattle. It was just the left shoe.All in all, they were cute and matched my outfit, but that noise from the heel was just too odd. I even took the stuffing out of the toe to ensure it wasn’t in there, Weird.Cute and fun shoes though.

I just love these shoes – going to a 50’s Bash in May and have white socks with lace trim to wear with them taking our 1941 big block Chev Coup also looking forward to a lot of fun! Thanks and I like the black soles better than the white one!!!

Initially, I was in love with these shoes! I thought the quality was better than expected, they fit decently well, albeit a little big. The only issue I had was the length of the laces. They are excessively long, so much that the shoes impossible to walk in unless the laces are tucked securely in.However, after wearing them every few days for two weeks, the rubber bottom of one of the shoes is ruined. They appear as if the rubber bottom was thinly made and hollow, rather than sturdy and meant for any use at all.If I had expected this, I would not have bought these shoes, as I will now need to replace them after a few more uses.They are not sturdy, they do not hold up, and for the price you pay they shouldn’t be so quickly ruined.I’ve owned many pairs of cheaper “costume” shoes that have lasted me months on end, and a few that I’ve owned for over a year. I wear all of these on a normal day to day basis, and none have ever fallen apart like this.This is truly just a matter of the company not even attempting to make the shoes wearable for anything other more than a few uses.Very disappointing.

Sole is adequate, not real thick is textured. Shoes feel like leather.. and it makes me wonder what it actually is because it’s listed as polyurethane and made in China; I worry it may be made of an animal since they do use dogs for leather, darn it. I got a 10 because there was no 1/2 size..have about 3/4″ shoe left above my big toe. I wear a regular width and it fits my foot exactly, no room to spare. Look nice, doubt you would wear everyday because you would be cleaning every night..they are cool tho!
