Vegan Saddle Shoes and Some Awesome Saddle Shoe Style Inspiration

Maya Villiger-Karyna
Forgot if I wrote about these before, but I recently bought a pair of saddle shoes from payless for $24 that I love.

Do you DARE to wear saddle shoes?

They could be seen as very Lolita-esque. But I think they are so cool and remind me of this whole thing I wrote about…Take Ivy style, 1940s and 50s style, prep school, cheerleaders, Vassar, and other cool things…in theory haha! In reality I went to a prep school and hated it.

Well, while google imaging Saddle Shoes for some style inspiration, I found an enormous amount of cool saddle shoe style inspiration. Now I am sold. The saddle shoe is a totally classic shoe, the sister of my beloved pennyloafer, according to the blog Take Ivy.

Here are some great photos to keep in mind if you chose to purchase a pair of saddle shoes:

Hello,

Happy Autumn!

I have found a few exciting vegan winter and fall shoe options, most of which I purchased for myself being in dire need of winter shoes!

Let us begin:

American Eagle Outfitters has a LOT of cool vegan winter boot options! Surprised much?

The most surprising shoe of all is an imitation in fake leather of that really cool swedish hasbeen clog boot.

Fifth Floor Flat

Modcloth has many other vegan shoe options (remember to look for shoes under $50 and check the product description…full technique described in my article on the side bar “Where To Find Cool Vegan Shoes Online”), one of my favorites being the following:
