Spalding Brown Suede and Leather Saddle Shoes | Academia by SpaldingAWESOME vintage Spalding brown suede and leather saddle shoes. A classic!! Size = 7. 5 Spalding is the OG (and gold standard) of saddle shoes, going back to the 1920s. In good vintage condition. The insoles have curled a bit from storage (common for these shoes), but when you wear them they flatten out and you don't feel anything unusual if you start wearing them regularly, the insoles will likely flatten back out.
