I suppose, because you aren't just sitting on
a bicycle seat as you are on a chair.
Which is probably why they call it a saddle.

If there is a scale with the chair at one
endpoint and the shoes at the other, I suppose
the saddle will fall somewhere in between the
chairs and the shoes.

Besides, as for shoes, if it was just the comfy
aspect of it, I'd say a pretty small inventory
would do there as well! Warm boots in the
winter, rubber boots when it rains, sport shoes
for sports, and Crocs for everything else. See?
And the same for both sexes at that!

The size aspect of the shoes is much more
important than for saddles because you walk
with them.
