Customer Reviews SAS Marina

ankle straps are short as people who ww or w they need more extended strap.

I was so excited about this sandal that I ordered it in four colors. It seemed as though the footbed was the same as the pair of SAS slip ons that I have been living in for the past few years. Sadly, it is not. This footbed is cork, not the smooth foamy footbed of the other SAS sandals. I was in for a very unpleasant surprise when I wore the first pair for a day and the cork actually folded/creased with each step, causing a really uncomfortable feeling on the bottom of my foot. Major SAS fail. Of course Zappos was great about returning the unworn pairs. I'm just bummed that they did not work out. I was counting on wearing them on vacation.

THis shoe fits like a soft glove, soft, shock absobant, stylish. It makes a big foot ( size 10) look smaller and more elegant, especially in the gold. My bunions also like these sandals. Shoe is also very flattering to the leg. Although we are approaching the end of summer, I love them so much, that I am tempted to order another pair. The leather between the toe is also comfortable, and I usually don't wear this style. I must say thank you to Zappos, because I have already sent back 4 pair of shoes in 2 weeks. This one is a keeper for me. YEA!

These shoes were the first pair of shoes that have alleviated the major foot pain I have been suffering with the past year. I ordered them in brown and they are very cute and stylish however the cork lining on the footbed has almost completely peeled off in less than a month! I am used to paying $$$ for shoes since I have such problem feet but I am not happy that these are almost unwearable after only a month. I did just begrudgingly order a second pair with the different footbed because as I said they are the first pair of shoes that have enabled me to somewhat function normally again after almost a year. I’m hoping they hold up better but I wish SAS would make the other non metallic colors without the cork lined footbed ?

Love these shoes!

I have back problems and generally other sandals don't give me enough support to make it through a long weekend without issues. I've had these now for over a year and I can honestly say that I love them. I bought them originally for a cruise, wore them on a 12 hour excursion with no issues. Recently took a long NYC trip with lots of walking and my feet were comfy, my back was great, and they were stylish enough to wear with my outfits. Looking forward to my next pair.

I have horrible foot problems but needed something cute and comfy to wear around on my trip to Hawaii. I walked a lot and my feet were comfortable the whole time. Love these!

I love these sandals! I only wish that both the leather strap and the elastic gore were a little longer to accommodate my wide foot/ankle. Because I have to loosen the Velcro, the strap from the toe up my foot is not centered on my foot.

After numerous attempts to find cute, comfortable, supportive sandals that would get me through the workday, I had almost given up hope. I love my Birkenstocks, but they aren't exactly "law firm attire." Everything else I tried was too narrow, too orthopedic looking, not supportive enough, too crunchy looking. I needed attractive sandals that would take my poor feet from work to a nice restaurant without giving away the fact that I need an orthopedic shoe!! The cute buckle and whisper of a wedge were just the trick. Flat enough, but not too flat. The buckle dressed it up just a touch. And, oh, are they COMFY!! I'm loving them! I normally wear Birkenstock, Dansko, Jambu, Keen and a Hush Puppie here and there. I'm happy to be able to add SAS to the list!

These are the only thong sandals I can wear. I have wide feet that swell something awful. I am also a true size 11. These sandals fit with a little extra width and are perfect. When my feet swell they are still perfect. The comfort level is record breaking. Now I understand why they are so expensive. Order your size, do not go up or down. Bravo!

I have several pairs in different colors. Very comfortable

Great sandal. The silver blue is very nice. I liked the sandal so much that I ordered the shiny silver, not for me, looked cheap, sorry. The fit is good. I wear a 34 in a Birkenstock sandal, and my foot is wide. I could use a wide in these, but they don’t make it. You can barely feel the thong, and it is very adjustable . Not old lady looking at all, very stylish, takes me back to the 60’s, but much more comfortable than a flat sandal. My arch is high, but this sandal is not tight in the instep. Winner, in my opinion.

I love these sandals. So far, SAS hasn’t disappointed. Aside from these Marina, I own the Captiva and the Shelly sandals and I love them for the style and comfort. I wish SAS would come out with more cute and youthful style like these three I mentioned. In addition to the great style, comfort, etc, my favorite feature about the Marina is the cork footbed. The others all have the suede footbed and though it’s soft and feels good, for awhile, it absorbs soil and odor and is difficult to clean. I end up not wearing them for more than a season yet structurally they are still perfect. I think the cork is just as comfortable and more practical overall. My preferred footbed material, aside from cork, is smooth leather.

I was very hesitant about paying $$$ for these sandals but with wide, picky feet, they fit perfect.

I am flat footed and have over pronation, but these are very comfortable and have great support for me. They have a very wide footbed across the toe area. They are adjustable and the perfect heel height for me. Wore them all day long walking around the very first day without any problems. I hope the cork footbed holds up as these sandals are pricey. I have a hard time finding shoes that are comfortable but the fit the bill for me!

I love these shoes!! They are super cute and comfortable! I don't find the straps to be too tight at all like some of the other commenters. I'm 5'7 130 lbs and they are plenty loose. In fact I have to have them at the tightest setting. I ordered the brown pair and they go with everything! I had to exchange the first pair I ordered because I received a defective pair but Zappos handled the transaction wonderfully! I had the new pair the very next day. I will definitely order from them again!!

This is the most I have ever spent on a pair of shoes - Almost didn't order because of the price but that would have been a mistake! Seriously the most comfortable sandles I have ever had on my feet. I have worn them every day since they came. If that continues thru the summer I will consider it a bargain.

These sandals are awesome! They're more than I like to spent on shoes, but SO comfortable -- and so I kept them! My feet tend to hurt me, and I had no pain in these despite running around a bunch on the first day. The sole is very cushy and supportive, and they fit my fat feet perfectly. The only complaint I have is that the toe thong hurts a little, but that's probably just because my feet aren't used to it. Very happy with these!

The footbed on this sandal is SO comfortable! They are a little bit on the dressy side. The only complaint I have is that my foot is narrow with the exception of the front of my foot. I wish the strap was able to be adjusted tighter. So I can only wear these on flat, easy to walk on terrain because otherwise my foot slips side to side.

These DO NOT run narrow like some of the other reviews said. I know, I have narrow feet and ordered them in the hopes they did run narrow. And I certainly don't need a longer strap like the other reviewers either, I have it pulled as tight as it will pull and would like it to go further. They're pretty shoes, lightweight and all but they are just too wide for me.

too tight in the strap that goes across the instep. There are people out there with wide and FAT feet
