Here is the Sears Catalog from 1951:
The ones I remember from the 50s had either black soles or thick orangey rubber soles -- those were the most popular (and expensive) here in the Maryland-DC area.

Thank you so much. It is really odd how I think about things I wore in the past and try to find the same kind. I really appreciate the time you spent sending this to us. Am going to have to order some from the site I found.
I have a pair of pink and white CROCS saddle oxfords. lol
I was too young for the saddle oxford era, but my sister, who is 11 yrs. older than I, had a pair!
I, too, am a fan of saddle shoes.
They are still required footware at east coast Catholic Schools and can be found on Swing Dancing apparel websites.
