I love the saddle shoe look for school and was thrilled when they met the uniform requirements for my daughter's school.  I ordered these right away and have been very pleased with the quality.  My daughter is generally pretty hard on shoes, but they survived an entire school year.  They are more expensive than the canvas Keds, but the leather is more durable and washable- I use a wash cloth and gentle soap every couple of nights.  I'd thoroughly recommend.
