Product Description
Summary
The Bleyer Saddle, which is based on a design that was popular in the 1950s, is a mainly white low heeled shoe characterized by a plain toe and distinctive black panel in the mid-foot area. The clean look of the shoe makes it very versatile and so can be worn with any number of outfits. The Bleyer Classic Soles serve to enhance your movement across the dance floor and have been specially designed for this purpose.
Colours & Sizes Available
Bleyer Saddles are offered in black & white as standard, although ANY colour combinations can be requested through a Special Order. If you would like more information about placing a Special Order, please get in touch.
Bleyer Saddles with the Special Sole are available as standard in Bleyer size 38 to 48 (covering UK4 to 11.5). Bleyer Saddles are also available with a "poro" sole under a separate listing in smaller sizes.
How The Shoes Fit Including Notes about the Width
The shoes themselves are fitted on the unisex last and so they fit similar to the Bleyer Rock'n'Roll, Boogie Woogie and Lindy Lace. For wider shoes please consider the Bleyer Charleston. Bleyer shoes are marked with European sizes and they tend to fit approximately one size small compared to typical European sizes. So, for example if you normally wear a European 38 you would probably want a Bleyer 39.
As we are a UK based site, UK sizes are listed first in our drop-down options. We have used our experience to translate the Bleyer sizes to UK sizes. This means that there are half sizes in some, but not all, UK sizes. This is simply as a result of the translations, so if your feet are a half size that is not listed, we would normally suggest that you select the next half size up. If you’re still not sure which size to select please call or email for advice. Although we are confident that these translations work for most people, this information is not a guarantee and should be used as a guide only.
About The Uppers
The Bleyer Saddle is a high quality, lace-up shoe with all matt leather uppers.
About The Soles
The Classic soles are made from cell rubber with a molded heel for great arch support. The material used is a high-tech innovation that gives you the ideal combination of light yet hardwearing soles for dancing. The look and feel of this sole type is at odds with most people’s idea of a rubber sole, it can easily be mistaken for plastic. Dancing with this sole gives a more sure-footed feel than the other Bleyer composite soles or leather soles. It is recommended for beginner or intermediate dancers.
