Saddle shoes, penny loafers? Funny names that we wore on our feet. I wasn't a big Pat Boone fan, but I did pound the playground pavement at St. Joseph's Grammar School in a pair of white bucks. Back somewhere around sixth grade, they were my pride and joy and I did my due diligence to keep 'em without schoolyard scuffs. Did they impress the girls? I was oblivious if they did. I just thought they looked so cool dangling from the end of my feet. A beat up pair of loafers, without Abe Lincolns I might add, traveled with me through junior high, along with countless pairs of sneakers. When I hit high school, I could not survive in class without my cordovan Bass Weejuns. They were with me everyday, everyplace, every waking hour, it seemed. I wore them out, got the soles replaced, and bought new ones. Feet don't fail me now!
Fashion and adolescents down thru the ages would make a good and interesting article. White buck in my area needed a little smudging to be really, really cool! Great photo and memories..

ReplyDeleteI'm completely lost!
ReplyDeleteI had white bucks and penny loafers in junior high. In fact, I still have penny loafers (though not the same pair) and until recently I had a pair of saddle shoes. Plus, most golf shoes are a version of saddle shoes.
ReplyDeleteI guess you were too young for blue suede shoes!
ReplyDeletewhat a fashionista! how's the gardening coming.
ReplyDeleteLove walking in your shoes here . . . how I longed for a pair of saddle shoes, but with 5 kids in the family, those shoes were deemed an extravagance we had to do without. Much later had a pair of penny loafers tho! My husband said he had white bucks, too. . .
ReplyDeleteI'm rather partial to a good moccasin myself Birdman! Comfy.
