Boy, these used to be so comfortable. Don't know what they did to the sole, but it is hard as a rock. Very disappointed.

I can normally wear a SAS shoes quite comfortably, but this pair is just not comfortable. I felt like the narrow, sewn part of tongue was pushing down on my instep. I know the color is supposed to be denim, but it was a very dull denim, not with depth at all. It is disappointing. I really wanted an Oxford style shoe and these were the only pair I saw that came in a wide size.

I wanted to try this oxford-like style from SAS, being real tired of athletic shoes not being comfy for my changing feet. Many years ago, I loved a low cut SAS oxford that came in many colors, but it hasn't been made for a long time. This shoe is made of really nice leather, but it runs very large. My usual 7 was a full size too large, yet the width in Wide was fine. I was excited about the Tripad insole & underneath heel/forefoot cushion pads, but there are 2 glaring faults. 1) There is no heel cup in the insole, and that insole doesn't meet all the way to the sides of the shoe. It's cut short so you feel a sharp edge all around. 2) There is an obvious hard bump under the insole, made into the shoe, right at the outside of the heel. I couldn't ignore that awful feeling as soon as I walked a few steps. It seems to me that SAS is cutting corners, but still charging top dollar.

The toe box is bulky, not an attractive look for someone already having big feet.

I bought a pair of these ten years ago in walnut. I bought these expecting the same shoe I have, but I was disappointed in the quality. The amount of padding behind the ankle is about half what it used to be. Furthermore, the foot bed was uneven in the toe area, making walking uncomfortable.

I've been buying Free Time Walking shoes for many years now. My only concern is they don't age well. They are still very comfortable but the leather doesn't look good after awhile.

I love this style of shoe but I have 2 new pair and once worn there is a wrinkle across the toe area and the pain from it is bad. I cannot wear them. Anything you know of the would help

Maybe I could use a half size smaller, but I will probably keep these. Don't want to send these back and re-order.

Fit and size were just perfect. Nice soft leather to make my feet feel awesome (if not particularly attractive) I'll buy them again.

So happy to find shoes to fit my ugly bunions. Thanks Zappos for having WW. Not I might not get holes in the sides of my shoes.

Comfortable, fits orthotics, ventilation holes reduce sweating. Shoe bottom is groove-less, so no dirt and gravel accumulation.

The shoe is quality and comfortable in every way but not enough arch support for me.

I am a longtime SAS wearer, so no surprises with this shoe. I have it in three colors.
It is a pleasure buying from Zappos.

After searching for a good pair of shoes that kept my feet from hurting after a 12 hour day, I finally found SAS. I have bought nothing but these shoes for years. I usually treat myself at Christmas or birthday with a new pair and this year is no exception. They hold up well, feel great, are comfortable to wear all day. Likewise the sandals. All of the SAS shoes are top of the line, and believe me, I've tried many styles and brands.

These felt true to size, with great arch support, which was the main reason I bought them. The charcoal is actually black suede, and I sprayed a Scotchgard-type water repellent on them before I wore them to have some added protection. Surprisingly, the style isn't too bad at all. They are very supportive without looking like orthopedic shoes. Although pricey, extremely pleased with the purchase.

Just wore the new pair today -- perfect comfort out of the box! They are long-lasting shoes, have had a previous pair for at least 15 years. I wear 7 WW size, and have a bunion on one foot. Was curious to see whether the new pair would be uncomfortable; it is tighter than my old pair but not painful or any problem. I like the removable sole inserts too. If the shoes feel small, these can be taken out and even replaced with something else. Completely satisfied with these and recommend them for anyone, esp if you on are your feet a lot. I am over 65 years old, and the style is fine with me.

In the past 10 years, my feet have not been tolerant of any shoe, but thanks to your ever patient, and caring philosophy, and product know-how, I am now wearing a "Size 8-wide SAS shoe" which is the best fit for me. I thank you for all the help you provided and as always putting the customer first. You have the best reps in the world who helped me along the way. I am so grateful. (I have a burning issue yet on the bottom of my flat feet; but I will purchase cushioned insoles to resolve that issue).

I bought these size 7-1/2EE or WW i wear orthotics, have bunions and diabetics. If i can recommend any shoe, SAS is the one. Comfortable, durable, they don’t hurt your feet. Best part, Made in USA. This shoe in any color is my absolute favorite. When they say SAS Walk Easy you can bank on it.
I now wear 8WW because of feet change. I highly recommend this shoe.

I am very satisfied with the shoes I recently purchased from Zappos . This is the third pair of shoes that I have purchased from Zappos. The first pair was size 8 but when ordered the second and third pairs I ordered size 8.5. The reason--- I was then wearing a foot/ankle brace on my left foot and needed the extra room for the brace that fits inside the shoe. When I purchased the first and second pairs , included were several inserts and an extra pair of shoe strings. The right shoe was a little loose so I just used one on the additional inserts for the right shoe and all was well. I was disappointed when my recent purchased arrived without the extra shoe strings and inserts. Did Zappos discontinue the practice of including the inserts and extra shoe strings?

I've been wearing this style for years, I've probably used up more than 10 pairs and they last a very long time. I'm grateful they make it in navy because that's my base neutral for my wardrobe. I do insert orthotics and switch out the laces with lock laces which makes my life so much easier. I also believe the support this style gives along with targeted exercises and supplements keep my knees working. I also have a red I got several years ago which is more a burgundy red I use occasionally, but if you come out with a classic red please let me know. If I could improve one thing it would be a longer lasting polish to keep the toe color longer, not a deal breaker because the shoe does a great job of protecting not just the toes but my whole foot.
