Fashions of the Past: Bobby Socks & Saddle Shoes

A saddle shoe is a shoe in which the toe and heel are of one colour and the middle part is of another colour. They are usually black and white, and were fashionable in the late 1950s, especially worn with bobby socks (type of sock, especially fashionable in the 1940s and 1950s, which had thick uppers that were turned down to form sort of a thick cuff at ankle height) and full skirts.
