Customer Reviews SAS Sporty

I were SAS black leather sneakers everyday to work I walk 7-11 miles a day in them. I wear an 8.5 in them so I was a little disappointed when I ordered an 8.5 in these shoes and they are way smaller. And of course they are final sale.

They look nice but the mark VERY EASILY. If I would of tried these on in a store I wouldn't of purchased them. They are not comfortable. They hurt my feet.

Shoe is longer than other size brands' 9.5, nor is WW a 2E, as it is with most brands. Unfortunately this was a final, so I cannot return them. The shoe appears to be well made and a cross between an athletic and a sturdy oxford.

The tongues are too short. The laces rings dig into my ankle. The toe box is much smaller than my journeys. The sole is hard. I'd return them if shipping wasn't so ridiculous.

I only buy SAS shoes and have several of the walking/athletic styles. These particular shoes, the Sporty, are a huge disappointment. I got these during the April Fool's sale at an incredibly good price (70% off, which is why I am giving them 2 stars instead of 1). The quality of these shoes compared to all the others I own is truly lacking: - I have pairs of Tour, Walk Easy (the best shoe ever made IMHO), Viva, and Free Time all in the same size as this Sporty and this Sporty is a good half inch longer than all of them (while being the same width). So these are just sized weirdly - too long. - The tongue, however, is WAY too short. It doesn't even come up to the edge of the shoe's collar so the metal rings that hold the laces dig into my foot. (!) Someone else mentioned this too - it is true so beware! - The tongue also has slits to slip the laces into to hold it in place - and the slits are useless. There is no way to get the laces in between the upper and inner layers of the tongue. The two layers are glued together. So there are slits in the tongue for no purpose whatsoever. - There is no padding (or stabilizer) around the collar or between the main body and inner lining, and the shoe offers little stability for the foot in terms of rolling, unlike the other shoes. - The leather is thinner than usual and parts I swear are plastic, not leather. I can live with most of this just wearing them around the house but I wouldn't wear these on a long walk and certainly not on a run. (The short tongue/lacing ring exposure is annoying even just kicking around the house with these. Time will tell if I can get used to that.) What concerns me is that these are a newer style than my other SAS shoes and I worry that SAS has decided to go cheap instead of maintaining its overall quality. I don't have any other newer styles to know if this is a trend or just a one-off mistake. **In any case, no way would I pay full price for these shoes.**

These Shoes look nice but are horrible for walking and standing. I was not pleased at all. I have been buying SAS shoes for many, many years and these displeased me greatly. They fail to meet the SAS quality of comfort that I have grown accustomed to.

I use these shoes to go to the gym and go walking. I like the shoes because they are lightweight and we're really soft and comfy on the bottom of my feet. The big drawback of these shoes are the tongue is too short so the body of the shoe and the rings that carry the shoelaces rub on the top of my foot. I'm disappointed because I've worn SAS Freetime for 30 years and have always just stepped in and worn those without any pressure points. I love SAS shoes but I would not recommend these.

I will send this shoe back. Very cute but I'll fitting.

Too stiff.

The shoe is quite pointy so it runs smaller than the actual size .

I bought these because they were on a very good sale and I need comfortable walking shoes. These shoes hurt my feet. I expected a smooth, padded interior; instead I got a rough tongue-edge, and something that hurts the bone at the base of my big toe. I think it is the lacing ring pressing through the tongue. These shoes are too tight with my winter socks; in my summer socks the heels slide around. The shoes seem sturdy -- if heavy -- but the soles are almost TOO slip-proof. Thirty years ago I had a pair of Siestas that I loved and were very comfortable and did not slip at all. I walked all over London pavements in them, as well as on linoleum floors at work. These shoes are nowhere near that same quality and fit. If I could send them back I would.

The sporty black with pink in size 8 1/2 arrived very large- long in length compared to my other SAS sneakers. Because the shoes were on a promotion the company refuses to exchange them for a smaller size. Very disappointed and lost a customer!

This is the worst pair of shoes I have ever bought. Not up to the normal comfort and standards of SAS shoes. The sole is incredibly hard and the inside of the shoe is also hard. The toe box was narrow for a medium width shoe. I went for a walk in them and my feet hurt for two days. I can't wear them. I sent a note to SAS and all I was told was that not all their shoes are made on the same last so will feel different.

Poor fit. Not comfortable! Not as expected. I own multiple SAS shoes & love how they fit, but wouldn't consider this style again.

I purchased two pairs of these shoes and within a month the soles of both pairs detached at the toe. I contacted SAS and was told to take it to shoe repair store. No refund. This is unacceptable considering the cost of these shoes.

This shoe fits way too tight across the upper toes making it unwearable for me. I thought I would try to break it in, but no luck. I have bought many different styles of SAS shoes and this is the first one I have encounter a problem. Anyone want a size 8 black shoe that has been sitting in my closet for sometime. Cute style but it doesn't work for me.
