The classic or usually called "old school" men's saddle shoes are dress shoes with white leather back and toe box. The shoe's vamp, instep, throat, eyelets and tongue are black in color. The vamp and instep are shaped like a saddle in the center (that's why it is called saddle shoes). A complementary black strip ran on the back of the heel in the rear of the shoe. Some saddle shoe has a buckle on top of the black strip. The saddle shoe's sole is made up of composite low heeled sole which usually coral in color.
