Remembering History: Saddle Oxfords - Considered to be the grandfather of modern athletic footwear, saddle oxfords are one of the few all-American shoes. In the 1950s, almost every American girl had a pair of saddle oxfords in white with black “saddles,” which they often wore with bobby socks. The shoe continued to be popular with teenage girls, cheerleaders and preppies from the 1960s-80s.
