I love these Viva Sas shoes. They are very comfortable with very soft feel on my feet. I purchased the black last year and I ordered the navy and canela this year. I have always wore the tie Sas but I was so happy to find these loafers for I had back surgery and cannot tie my shoes any more. These are so easy to slip on with no hassle. I need the extra width in the toes for I have bunions and I have tried on so many other shoes that hurt my feet but I can wear these all day and they feel great. Also I love the insoles that can be taken out to wash. They are a great quality made shoe.

I have worn this shoe for a number of years since it was introduced by SAS. At the time I purchased it in suede. It lasted years! Not like today's shoes. I purchased these shoes again in a half size larger to accommodate my changing feet. The leather is soft and comfortable. No need for a break-in period. These shoes feel like a soft leather glove. I can wear them all day and best of all, I can wear these without having to change out the foot bed for my orthotic. I plan to purchase another pair in brown. SAS makes high quality shoes and they are worth the money because you will get plenty of wear from their shoes. I purchase SAS shoe care products to treat the leather and keep it looking like new.

I have wide feet and the boxy toe is very comfortable. Unfortunately, my heel kept slipping out. It's a well made, very comfortable, plain-looking shoe. I do a lot of city-walking and, if it had fit, it would have been a great alternative athletic shoes. I'll have to try a half size smaller.

I have difficult feet to fit - very narrow, long feet (size 11 Slim (AAA or AAAA). These fit perfectly, like a glove, and are so comfortable! They are also Rey smart-looking. The first day I received them, I walked all day in them and...still comfortable! This is my third pair. I love these in the winter during inclement weather. They are very sturdy and warm.

I wear these for working in retail on concrete floors. I buy a half size larger because I also use a gel innersole. The heel is larger than I would like but also found that when I bought my actual size. Not particularly attractive but looking for comfort first. I have repurchased.

I’ve had 3 pairs of this shoe. They are relatively comfortable and not as ugly as most narrow shoe options that I have tried in the past. I’m willing to pay a premium for quality shoes that will last since it is so difficult to find narrow shoes. Unfortunately, these shoes don’t last more than 180 days. Why the random number? I’m a teacher and only wear them to school. So it’s actually less than that number of days when you factor in rotating a pair of a different color. The soles consistently crack horizontally under the ball of the foot. The company reluctantly replaced 1 pair of mine that were slightly over the 1 year warranty and the new pair are cracked after a year. They now squeak at the crack with every step I take. This is unacceptable for a pair of shoes that are this expensive.

I put them right on and wore them for a full day. Total comfort. The only complaint I have, is that the color of my shoes, (canela) is much darker than the color shown in the picture. I prefer light browns and tans, and this is a little dark for me, but I'm keeping them anyway. I'll adjust to the darker brown, and it will probably work well with Winter clothes.

Excellent foot support. I use orthodics and the shoe holds my foot and ankle securely.

Absolutely five stars!!! My job requires that I'm walking for almost the entirety of my shift...and I must say these are the best, most comfortable work shoes I've ever owned. I would highly recommend. These shoes are so comfortable I recently purchased two pairs of sandals.

I cannot tell you how many pair of black "walking" shoes I have tried on, bought and/or looked. Finally, I remembered what my doctor told me when she looked at my pointy toed, high heels. She told me to buy a pair of SAS shoes. I which I had heeded her advice years ago. These shoes are actually comfortable as soon as of the first wearing. I could walk in them with or without socks. I didn't feel like I was going to slip or wobble or that they were going to fall off. Bottom line...I love these shoes and will continue to buy your brand.

I have worn SAS shoes for over 35 years. As a hair stylist, I am on my feet at least 10 hours a day. The black patent leather metallic bounce is very stylish and water proof. I am in love with SAS shoes all over again!!

I already had these shoes in black. The blue color is what I wanted. They are comfortable and since I have a very wide foot, they fit without pinching. I haven't worn them outside as yet, but when I can, I am sure that I will enjoy their comfort.

I’m so happy I purchased these SAS shoes. I had purchased them a few years ago in brown suede and love them. My shoes must be comfortable, so when I saw the black leather in the same style, I went for it. They are expensive shoes, but they will last me a very long time.

This is a great shoe. I have had it in brown for several years and it is still very supportive, so decided I needed a pair in black, too. It is a bit heavy looking, but not bad for such a supportive shoe. I wear narrow and it fits very well and true to size. Good narrow shoes are hard to find!

I’ve been wearing Sas Viva for years and was excited to see that it is finally available in blue. This shoe is high quality, extremely comfortable ( I have a lot of arthritis in my toes), and lasts for years. Provides great support to ankles and has wide toe box.

I wish I could give this shoe ten stars as it is an incredibly comfortable and supportive shoe. I have arthritis in one knee and a bad back so comfort and support in a shoe are paramount. I also have wide feet with bunions and a hammer toe. I bought these shoes the beginning of winter and have worn them almost every single day and they still look incredible and do not look like they have been worn for months. These shoes have provided exception support to my knee and back. I hope this is a style that is not discontinued as next winter I want to order a second pair in a color other than black. And there was no break in period, wore them all day right out of the box.

I already had a very nice pair of the Viva until I stepped into a deep street puddle during the first rainstorm in San Francisco on Thanksgiving night. Water sloshed into my shoe and, cringe, I knew they were done for. There are some things you can't fix. So I am back for a new pair. They seemed slightly looser than the last pair but will allow me to wear socks with them. I have extremely sensitive feet and these are extremely comfortable. I also have a callous on my big toe and these shoes do not make it worse like some others. They aren't as sleek as I would like but I will sacrifice looks for comfort any day. Please continue to carry SAS shoes Zappos they are a must have for WW wide feet.

Comfortable for working in retail...on my feet all day. I always use a drug store insole for added comfort.

I have been wearing the Twin style for years but have been having issues lately. I was looking for a shoe with no seams that would rub on my foot. Viva has been good for me. I went up a half size to give my feet room (I work in retail and stand on concrete 8 hrs a day). At first, I was concerned they'd be too big, but they've been fine. Enough room for a gel insole and no seams to rub on my foot. Buying a second pair to alternate and these will be the replacement for the Twin style for the foreseeable future.

I was looking for a shoe that would be wider across the forefoot, but these are wide everywhere and therefore too big.

Have been purchasing the Viva Slip On shoes for 20+ years. Originally, the insole was thicker and nicely padded, however, the new design is thinner and does not give me the comfort as before. I have to change out the insoles. I love the shoe for it's rounded roomy toe and padded around ankle, however, not worth purchasing the shoe if the bottom of my feet are in agony. I have calluses and they really begin to hurt on the bottom of my feet with the insole. Wish you would return to the better padded insole.

I really appreciated the comfort and support this shoe provided. I like how it stayed on my foot and that there was a velcro strap to help with that. I had been told it felt like a cloud and it really was that comfortable. However, my feet are an odd size and even though it fit in length wise and it didn't slip off my heel it pinched my toes on the side. I would say that is user error more that the shoe error.

This shoe is heavy and would be good for heavy-duty wear. It is wide across the ball of the foot and has plenty of room for bunions. However, I did not find it particularly attractive.
