Customer Reviews SAS Relaxed Comfort Sandal

tight fit

These shoes looked really comfortable with soft, padded straps. But they were too wide all over. My feet are very wide across the toe and arch but not heel. Adjustment at heel couldn’t go tight enough to keep these on my feet.

Ordered my normal size 8.5W and the fit was okay. Obviously it is a well-made sandal with quality materials. I would describe the arch support as moderate. The denim color was very nice and would have gone with a lot of things. The reason I returned was I found the sandals to be too heavy and a bit bulky, and couldn’t see myself doing much walking in them without leg fatigue, so I returned.

The quality is good, I didn’t like the style as much as I thought I would. Feels and looks like an orthopedic Birkenstock.

Shoe is very comfortable; however, I could not get the shoe on without unbuckling the buckle and it was too painful with my arthritic fingers. Sadly, I have to return.

As with the other SAS sandal I tried, not enough arch support for me (I need quite a bit), and the fit was awkward (too short in front, too long in back.) Keen was good for support but irritates my bunion.

The fit and size were perfect. I'm a size 6M and I ordered a 6M and perfect fit. The sandal is comfy but the color isn't the dark brown I was looking for....it's more of a milk-chocolate color. Also, on my foot, the sandal looked a little clunky on me. Highly recommend if you're looking for good fitting, comfortable, high quality sandal - actually has buckles...no velcro!!! Yay!

Size & fit were good. Just couldn't take the metallic blue color! No other color was available in my size.

Material was not comfortable after a short while of wearing. Made my feet sweat. Fabric material would have been perfect!

These were so comfortable and were literally like walking on air. I was so sad to have to return them, however, because I recently developed a bursitis kind of tendonitis on the back of my upper heel, making it painful to walk in them. I now realize I now have to only wear backless shoes, at least in the near future. If that condition heals, I will re-order these sandals immediately without question.

Nice sandals, but the strap on the left shoe isn't long enough to get in the buckle. Unfortunately, I'm going to have to return them.

I know EVERYONE else loves their SAS Relaxed and other Zappos Customers never complain about being too snug OR rubbing for 1st Summer wearing them. I called SAS and decided to order a 1/2 size longer then my OLD SAS Relaxed. ( I have 1 pair of "woen in" soft footbed + a newer Snakeskin pair with CORK footbed) Not sure IF I will even bother trying a Wide? I basically want the Relax to wear at home for slippers, getting the mail etc AND with SOCKS in Winter. I have Wide toes, Narrow heels, a high instep. I need a firmer outer sole to keep my Morton's Neuroma from bothering me. Not sure If this helps anyone: but in a Medium Width: it is as if the edge of my big toe & edge of my Pinky Toe as riding on a raised edge (not as drastic as a Birkenstock). Over time, your foot sinks in a bit. Also where the upper edge of toe strap is sewn OR glued in - the insole is NOT flat. These are great IF you can wear them out of the box.......but obviously, I can not longer do that!!!! Try them if you want nicely padded straps with multiple adjustments.

Undecided as to IF I will keep them. My old pair of SAS "Relaxed" (also in Brown leather) is SO much cushier in the footbed & sole. The old pair has nicer leather. Not sure IF I want to go through the discomfort of breaking the straps in so they do Not press on my pinky toes (even though it is WINTER and I won't have puffy feet). I think that the sandals (or materials) MIGHT have changed! My oldest pair is 5 years old. When I bought a snakeskin pair WITH cork footbed: I thought the STIFFER feeling came from the cork (and was told that by SAS when I called). They also were not comfy until the 2ns Summer I wore them and were NOT great to wear all day! I basically want a "house slipper" that I can add socks to for winter. I have Wide toes, a Narrow heel & high arch & high instep. I know that almost everyone raves about SAS. Many years ago, I wore their lace up and sandals.

Very comfortable; fit was perfect for my narrow feet. Returning because I don't like the color

The lining made it too hot for me. The heel was too soft and aggravated my plantar fasciitis .

Well, I purchased these, so similar to the Cozy sandals I have had for 4 years now. The Cozy is adjustable for the problem bunion on my left foot. So sad these will not work, the buckle over the toes I put at the widest "setting" and it pinched my bunion area. :-( Plus I got pain in the arches. I have had plantar fasciitis in the past year, that has faded, so I was hoping to find a similar shoe to wear "out" in the hot months. No go..have to return them.

I thought "Relaxed" sandals looked comfortable and I liked the variety of colors. But they just aren't the right style for my sensitive and problem feet and I returned them. Thank you Zappos for your excellent service.

Ordered these based on the many good reviews. I am always looking for a comfortable supportive sandal- these were not it. I was relieved they didn't work because of the high price and because they aren't at all attractive shoes. I will sacrifice both for comfort. But these were not even comfortable.
