The saddle shoe became known as a more than a sporting shoe as it became popularized among teenage dance crowds of the 1930s and 1940s. The shoe offered stability and comfort while also meeting the teenage fashion criteria of that time. Teenagers wouldn’t be caught doing dances like the jitterbug, the twist and the lindy hop without wearing a pair of clean saddle shoes.
Teenagers often wore their saddle shoes with white bobby socks, a look that paired well with poodle skirts, pencil skirts, slacks and blue jeans. In the 1940s and 1950s, saddle shoes were truly a shoe for any occasion, and it was crucial for any teenager in America to own them.
