Customer Reviews SAS Sanibel Comfort Thong Sandal

So - I developed plantar fasciitis recently in my left heel. I have high arches, usually am barefoot in the house and wear Havaniana flip flops or designer thong sandals when outside. So of course the lack of arch support caught up with me. I really hate close toe shoes and wanted a thong sandal with arch support to wear in the house and when running errands. I also wanted a sandal that did not look like an old lady orthopedic shoe. Per my research I discovered SAS Sanibel. Although a little on the crunchy granola, I thought they looked stylish enough. The ones I selected have real leather uppers, are easy on and off, have an adjustable cross strap, and are light weight. All goodness. So I read all the rave reviews and wish I could join in - but I am not as happy with the sandal as many others. The footbed is for sure comfortably cushioned. Unfortunately I found the arch support is barely moderate. I wish the shoe was more supportive than it is. My heel still hurts when I wear them but not as much - and definitely not as much from my Havanianas - which are the reason I developed plantar fasciitis in the first place. Net I am some what disappointed in the SAS Sanibel - my reason for 3 stars - but I do plan to keep them while I continue my search.

These sandals only come in M width, but have a strap with a buckle which can be tightened for a narrow foot. I could not get this tight enough for my narrow feet, so returned them.

I love the sandal, however the wide toe strap rubs my toes and is very uncomfortable. I would have rubbed blisters on my feet after a very short time. Otherwise, the footbed of the sandal is very comfortable and I wish I could keep them. They must go back and the search for a silver metallic sandal that I can wear with casual slacks will continue.

The leather above the toe was very stiff. if you are standing still shoe feels fine. when you walk i imagine a blister very quickly. Other others were not as stiff

This fit fine (length and width) but I thought the foot bed would softer after I read the reviews. It's a little firmer than I'd like (I don't have much padding in the metatarsal area) so sadly I am sending these back. I plan to try the Hoka One One sandal.

I was looking forward to loving these. I got the silver/blue. When I received them I just don't think they looked like $160 sandals. They didn't look like leather. They felt comfortable for the short time I tried them on, but I had to loosen the buckle on the top strap and this skewed the center strap off center. It would have bothered me seeing "crooked" even time I looked down at my feet. So back they go.

I liked the shoe. It was very comfortable for the bottom of the feet. But the leather strap top piece, right at the part between your toes, was stiff, stuck out and irritated my feet. As much as I wanted these to work out, I had to send them back.

These are super cute on the foot, but I still have to wear a compression sleeve on my arch for foot pain to wear these unfortunatley. I have a problematic right foot and can't seem to wear anything like a flip flop.I already wore them outside before I realized they would cause pain after an hour or so..so now, I wear the sleeve which is not so cute!

The thong strap between the toes was very thick and poorly made. Very uncomfortable

I wanted to love these sandals! The fit was wrong for me. I wear a 10 and I'd say these were true to size (?!) but.... I could NOT adjust them. I have narrow normal feet and I just couldnt get the buckle over the top of my foot to be a comfortable snuggness. I wear flip flops a lot, however, the darling and decorative leather piece between your toes was very large. I could feel that every time I took a step, and it was uncomfortable. Back they go.

Toe thong uncomfortable

The footbed is very comfortable but the buckle tab section above the toe pushes forward every time you walk and digs into the big toe. I tried adjusting the buckles to give it more space but it didn't help.

It felt like my toes were sliding off the end all the time and footbed felt lke it was made out of something the regular sanibel

does not fit like a regular Sanibel. Toes are always over the end. FFot slides fporwar

Not fond of the style makes me look older not sure if i will keep it left sandal is making farting noise
