I can't believe people my age wore these over 30 years ago!
I loved my "Charlie Brown" shoes when I was in the
7th and 8th grade. They were flat and sort of conformed to your feet. So cute and comfortable too. I would love to see a picture if anyone has
one of their teenage girl wearing them in the early 70's.
My mother used to make me wear these when I was in kindergarten. I hated them then, and she'd have to wrestle me to get them on. I wanted shiny, black patent leather shoes with the strap across. Fast forward about twenty five years. I have a daughter and guess what she's wearing? She was so adorable in hers, now I understand why my mother liked them.
Im 51 years old and wore them in Jr High. I want a pair and cant find them anywhere! There were authentic ones and generic ones....lol
I am trying to find a picture of the shoes...so far, no luck. But I know exactly what you are talking about and often think about those shoes.
I loved them. I had red ones when I was in jr. high. Wish I could find a pair!
Has anyone tried to wrestle with the Hudson's Shoes website? An utterly absurd exercise.
What a relief to find these posts! Everyone seems to think I'm crazy when I ask if they remember these. I still remember how excited I was when I got my pair in 7th grade. And, yes to Lori. . . there were the authentic ones and the wannabees. These weren't the usual oxfords, but a very trendy version. Would LOVE to have a pair.
It may seem to be silly, that I am over the age of wearing Charlie Brown Shoes, but I still would like to buy them. Does anyone know - where or under which website, I could order it from, pretty please?
Didn't we call them saddle shoes? I had white with a black strip, red soles. Extremely comfortable. Wore mine until the cracked and split. Couldn't find another pair. My mom hated them, but she had to wear similiar ones as corrective shoes when she was little.
I was reading about these and I was wondering the same thing, if they were called saddle shoes? I remember most of the girls in my school wore them and I believe they were worn by many cheerleadering squads. They were white with the stripes in school colors. At least that's the way it was in my area of the world anyway.
Mine were lace up, light brown suede with a dark brown suede fringed flap covering the laces... Anyone remember thoses? I also remember saddle shoes but remember them being white and black or navy blue???
Mine were brown shoes with either brown and white laces or a buckle. Sold at Kinney Shoe Stores in Ohio '69, 70' 71'
I remember my Charlie Brown shoes I loved them. I bought them at Thom McAn at Seminary South Shopping center in 1972 in Fort Worth Texas. They were the best. I wish they would come back into style or something similar.Those were the good ole days.
Saddle shoes were different then the charlie brown shoes i had both and the suede ones too,
I was just talking about these shoes-charlie brown's mine were red loved them with my hiphugger jeans and Hang Ten Hot pants!!
would LOVE to see a picture!!!
Loved my Charlie Browns. I had the red patent leather with the navy blue saddle. The saddle was squared off rather than the round of regular saddle oxfords. Only problem I ever had with them was they were very clippery on icy sidewalks at school. But I would buy them again if I could find them.
I wanted to find a pic of these shoes but found this JCPenny Ad instead - no pic :( It looks like it was a black Friday sale "Org. to $8.99...Now $2.98" Man, I wish I had a time machine and take my money back for prices like that!!! Ad can be found at: news google timeline search charlie brown shoes Nov 2, 1971. It appears in the Deseret News.
i went to old newspaper I found several pic's of the shoes. I have been searching for days. they are called women's kiltie oxfords available in several colors. this suede lace up oxford shoes hushpupplies style with a kiltie tassel. These shoes were made in usa by Town and County. In california we called them Charlie brown shoes . I have only found one pair. wrong size color. If someone finds out if they make them anymore let us know thanks.
Mine were brown oxford type, kind of looked like wingtips, slip-ons, with a buckle. I loved them so much and wore the soles out.
Where are you my Chuckie Browners?????? :(
Found this page after doing a search for the Charlie Brown shoes a bunch of us gals had in the late 70's. They were brown suede and a dark brown suede in the middle. Difference was, ours had a flap that covered the lace up part and had arrow/pointed shape cuts across the front and at the end of the flap. A bunch of us old high school chums (Austin, Texas) are trying to find them. Think they were made by Hush Puppies and may have to contact them to at least get a picture of the right shoe we mean. Did anyone on here ever find them?
I found a exact pair in a quaint shoe store in Glouster, MA... They were $ 11.99. Not true to size, 1 pr left... Not my size... Oh the nostalgia....
You can find something similar on Zazzle.com without the flap though. Search under "charlie brown shoes". They cost $52.99... Alot more then we paid.....
My charlie browns were brown leather.. I have been thinking about them so much lately.. I wore them completely out and my now hubby threw them in the garbage.. arrggghh! What I wouldn't give to see a pair of them, or better yet to own another pair..
I too wore Charlie Brown shoes when I was in jr. high - I was the only girl in the whole school that wore them! I had 2 pairs, one red and one navy. For some reason I wore the red ones more often so when they were in such bad shape that I could no longer wear them my grandma surprised me with a new pair. Wish I could find some or at least a picture of them to show to my daughter who is now 28 years old!
I am so glad to see I'm not the only one who remembers these shoes. I loved mine and would love to find a picture of them.
Looking for some Charlies Black shoes....unable to find any in New Zealand as yet. Best shoes I ever had when I was at school some forty plus years ago. If anyone can help out with a link or info please email:hitn50@yahoo.co.nz Would like to hear from you.
The closest thing that I could find to this shoe is called the womens Babe Oxford. I found these on Amazon. They come in black, brown, tan and they have 4 two toned colors. Unfortunately no navy or red. When I was in middle school in 1971-72 Paltka, FL, I had the navy and brown. They are close enough that I will be happy with them.
My Charlie browns had a compass in the heel of the shoe, anyone remember those?
Junior high? I was a senior! And I LOVED those shoes!
My sister had a pair of Charlie Brown's,but apparently, I was too young (3 years younger) and desperately wanted a pair! I'd love to find a dealer who still carried them. I'm 54 years old, but would buy a pair!
I am 56 and would love to find a pair of the old Charlie Brown shoes that I loved so much. Can't even find a picture of them but I remember them very fondly. Does anyone know where you can find them?
i've been looking for those women kiltie oxfords also. they were so comfortable but i cant seem to find them. anyone have any luck yet?????
Me too. I loved them.
Okay ladies who were Seventies' junior high schoolers! Like all you who left a message, I want another pair of those Charlie Browns, so we need to rally and find a shoemaker. These shoes were flat two-tone brown kilties in a soft suede. Ahh.
I don't know why we can't find a picture of Charlie Brown shoes. I loved them. One of my pair was sort of a Mary Jane t-strap, navy blue.
I had a brown lace up pair in 7th grade. I remember saving up my babysitting money to get them, they were $9.00 a pair. And $9.00 was alot of money in 1972.
I acquired a pair two days ago from an estate sale, and am thinking of listing them on Ebay today! The box is damaged from long term storage, but the shoes are pristine! I have several pictures of them, if anyone is interested...
Please post pics! Would love to see.
I wore Charlie Brown shoes with my school uniform in 9th grade, St. Albans, Queens, N.Y. I remember buying them in Thom McAnn shoe store in Jamaica. They were brown, really cute with a buckle, the slip-on kind and I loved them!
Theses were the in shoes of the 70's. And no, they were not saddle shoes. I loved mine.
I had a pair of Charlie Brown shoes in brown and wore them out. I was in 7th grade and it was 1970 or 1971. It seems like everyone had a pair of Charlie Brown's. Cannot believe it was 43 years ago.
I loved these shoes! I had a red pair in 7th grade in 1971.
i am in agreement with all of you. my favorite shoes were the charlie brown shoe from Thom McAnn i remember them being flats dark brown ? i can bareley vision what they looked like im thinking a buckle and a very round toe i would just love to even see a pair of them.
I love those shoes also and have been looking for years to find a pair.
I also had a pair of Charlie Browns they were the one that laced and I had a pair of Lucy Browns they had a buckle and looked like a maryjane. Loved these shoes. Wish I could find them again.
Had a pair of navy blue Charlie Brown's. The cheerleaders even wore them instead of athletic shoes. very soft leather, flat, lace up, with little pattern of holes on the top!
I think I found a photo. I cannot post the link or the photo but it's was an etsy listing described as 60s/70s Unworn Tan and Brown Suede Saddle Shoes / sz 6 1/2 Med. I found the photo by googling 1970s girls oxford shoes with kiltie tassel. These are not Thom McAn shoes, as most of us seemed to have, but they're very close.
Our Charlie Browns, at my jr high in California were the brown suede with the double t strap. They hade cut outs over the toes. And a heal that was layered with suede leather. I loved these shoes! They went with shorts, dresses, skirts or pants! And so very comfortable!!! I want some now!!!
