saddle shoes and when we were in Branson she finally found a store that handled this unique product. Several of the Branson shows we attended were of the 50s theme and during one of the intermissions Elizabeth approached one of the girls in the show who was wearing saddle shoes to find out where they got them. The young lady wasn't quite sure of the source because the show's wardrobe department had acquired them but she did think they came from a local store. That was enough for Elizabeth and she made of quest of finding out where that store was. We finally found Reish Shoe Store at 120 South Commercial Street in downtown Branson. They had a very large selection and there was no trouble finding her size. Remarkably they were also very reasonable in price. The Reish store is located in old downtown Branson and has been "fitting feet since 1934". They handle the original "Jumping Jack" saddle shoes, a name familiar to those who know about this unique shoe product. If you have been looking then perhaps this will help you too. I know Elizabeth is very happy with hers and they were a hit at a recent sorority convention's 50's night. Those ladies knew that these were the real thing!
