I had these back in the late 90s, I don't know if they are actually womens or mens (I am a woman and I wore them though) I had the soles replace with leather so they were better for dancing (lindy hop, west coast swing etc, have a try, it's fun!) You can slide on the leather and put the brakes on with the rubber heel. I had many pairs of dance shoes, and I did this to a few, I don't think I used these as much because the soles are still ready for dancing, and heels with very little wear. Not sure if I did the white polish over the shoes or if I bought them like that but maybe it can buffed off. I kinda like it though. There are some scuffs on the shoes for sure from good times. Just wanna see if anyone wants to give them a new life, they were fun in the neo-swing revival of the 90s. Either these or the other saddle shoes performed at Disneyland and Knotts Berry Farm, oh the fun times we had dancing.
