A saddle shoe is basically a whole cut with a saddle reinforcement across the main stress area. It was developed for gym class in the US after the war. So obviously the sportswear thing isn’t new. Even in the 50s it was all about fresh kicks. The Jerry Lee is made from vegetable tanned vachetta leather which, as you know by now, ages like Lauren Hutton. There are many saddle shoes on the market, but only one by Mr. Hare.
The Jerry Lee is built on the Miller last and sits on a smooth, slipper like construction, similar to a leather, bowling shoe, for extra comfort.
The vachetta part of this shoe must be caringly rubbed down with Beeswax at least as often as you wash your car even if that is only twice a year.
