The boy-bloggers’ collective search for a spring ’09 Saddle Shoe has intensified in recent weeks. This $78 “tonal-oxford” as UO calls it, reminds me a wee bit of the Opening Ceremony saddle shoes, but at a prettier price-point.
Some of UO’s in-house shoes can look and feel especially cheap, but these seem worth a closer look.
In a perfect world though, I’d want my saddle shoes leather – not suede. Huh…My excitement over these seems to be rapidly waning…
This post over at The Pursuit Aesthetic showcases the clever inclusion of men’s saddle shoes into Spring 09 outfittery, as presented by Corpus.
It’s a look that seemed lady-like for a beat or two, then suddenly shifted to seeming droll and dapper for dudes as well. All Plaid Out then swiftly laid out three saddle shoe options and I’ve been Froogling and e-baying other possibilities as well, but nothing seems quite right.
The suede semi-saddle shoes by F-Troupe presented here aren’t getting me any closer in my search, but they’re a snappy little detour.
I’ll get to where I’m going, eventually.
A preface to this volume including further information on its founding editor.
