While looking to buy a pair of saddle shoes for my girlfriend I looked at multiple listings and brands.  Finally decided on the Jumping Jacks because they were leather and the price was excellent.  Quite simply, these shoes are extremely well made and were a real bargain.

One of the brands I looked at was Bass. Multiple reviews talk about them coming unglued.  Every single pair of Bass shoes I've purchased for myself or someone else has come unglued!  Not exaggerating.  My gf is re-gluing a pair of Bass shoes I bought for her six months ago.  Never going to buy another pair of Bass again!  Another brand I looked at was Futasma which is more for costumes and isn't leather.  Multiple reviews talk about them coming apart after just a few times wearing them.

I looked closely at the Jumping Jacks - sewn around all the edges.  Leather upper.  Stylish - more stylish than the Willits brand which one reviewer said looked like orthopedics! (They do like orthopedics.)  And comfortable according to the girlfriend.
