Yep, they looik like "backward" saddle oxfords.
We didn't wear saddles in Catholic school in the 70's in my area, nor did my sisters in the 60's. Our diocese was a penny-loafer kind of place, LOL. My DS just picked out some loafers for dress shoes, though his Catholic school allows sneakers now, and that's what most kids wear -- he has decided that he might wear the loafers every day because he thinks they are more comfortable than sneakers. Had to tell him that's why penny loafers have stood the test of time -- the things get more comfy the older they are. I've got 20 yo Weejuns in my closet that I still wear all the time.
