SAS

Bliss Slip On Comfort Wedge

Women's

I have two different size feet, one cockeyed foot, no feeling on the bottom of either foot, and I lack soft cushioning tissue under both feet. With much persistence, after searching in two brick and mortar stores, and on three different shoe web sites, Zappos staff helped me find something I could wear to my only child's wedding. They shipped and accepted returns for some 12 pair of shoes. I am the proud mother of the groom who will now be wearing the SAS shoes above, in an 8ww, in navy, to match my navy gown. I built up the inside of the shoes for the smaller foot, and left the cushioned innersole that came with the shoe for the opposite foot. The shoes have a bit of stretch to the fabric. They hold the foot with proper support because the sides are firm, not soft and buttery as you see with certain ballet flats. There is an adequate arch support. The innersole is both cushioned and removable. The angle of slant between the forefoot and the wedge heel leaves the foot in a comfortable walking position. It does not force the foot downward, jamming the toes. The front is softly rounded. The shoe is comfortable. A recommended walking shoe.

I have terrible feet (bunions and hammertoes on both feet), and this means most cute shoes don't work for me. I purchased the navy in 7.5W, and the shoes work well given my foot issues. The heel does not slip or rub. The looks are not too bad--I think these will work with shorts and capris, slacks, and casual skirts and dresses. I am considering buying the black for fall.

While the style is plain, this shoe is very comfortable and suitable for work or casual wear. Fabric upper is stretchy (but not too much so) keeping the shoe on my foot/heel and not irritating anything! Rounded toe isn't severe/doesn't look dorky and heel height provides just enough lift. The insole is removable but the included one has a little arch support and a little bit of cushioning. Very happy with these.

I bought the SAS Bliss black in size 9.5 AAA. the heels slip off when walking and on stairs even when wearing thick socks. The inner soles should be made of suede leather and not shiny synthetic to prevent feet from sliding down the wedge, and the top back of shoe heels need to be raised and come with a padded collar. Heel cup is too shallow to do this, so a redesign is called for as heel slippage is a common complaint among reviewers.

Beautiful shoe, but runs very narrow.
