Customer Reviews SAS Sanibel Comfort Thong Sandal

I had very high hopes for this sandal after reading all the reviews. I developed plantar fasciitis in my left foot and really needed a thong sandal that would help me with the discomfort. I ordered this style and at first was very pleased. I like the look, the fact the uppers were leather and I liked the cushioned foot bed. The fit was okay although a little loose. I wear a 6.5M. I have been wearing them for about two weeks around the house and when I run errands. Today the left shoe began to twist on my foot while walking thru the super market parking lot and I developed a sharp pain in my arch. I kept straightening my foot but it happened several times. I have never had arch pain, just heel pain. I believe it is because the sandals are a bit loose. Unfortunately adjusting the cross strap didn't allow me to get my foot all the way in due to my high instep. So I am stuck with a sandal I cannot wear.

Really nice shoe, good quality and the style was great. I have a narrow foot and was hoping the adjustable strap would adjust well enough to fit. Unfortunately it didn't and the piece of leather around the toe strap was very uncomfortable, digging into the top of my foot. Had to return.

My feet began to hurt, to be specific, I started experiencing the chilies tendon pain that I never had before, but started having when I started wearing these sandals. In the beginning, they appeared to be very comfortable. After 4 days in them, I started having a pain. I think that there is something wrong with these shoes. P.S. If you read the reviews, someone else experienced the same.

I have tried and tried to break these shoes in and I just can't get comfortable with them. The right shoe was okay but the left shoe was just plain uncomfortable. After wearing them for about an hour my legs would ache. I would not recommend them.

I was constantly adjusting the straps, they fit great for about 4 hours, and then it was slideville. Goodlooking shoe but a sprained ankle in the making.

The toe post was uncomfortable and the leather above the toe post rubbed my foot. This sandal cannot compare to the arch support and comfort of flip-flops.

The size and fit were as described. The color is more of a holographic shiny with gold flecks and not truly just gold. But the WORST part is that the sandle DOES NOT have a leather footbed lining as described. It is the Super SuedeTM as stated in the next line down of the product description which is not leather but a man made fabric. Beware if you are looking for a true leather footbed.

This is the second or third time I've tried SAS shoes, and it's the same number of times I have returned them. First, all SAS items are ugly. The soles are like walking on a rolling ball or a moving sidewalk. They made me feel irritated when I tried them in my house. When I took them off and took them to the UPS store, I felt better. My Skechers feel much better for about ¼ of the price! I guess the size feels true, but the rest was such a bummer, the fit didn't matter. Same on arch support.....who knows with the bouncy feeling!

From buckle to toe was too long for my foot so I kept sliding out when trying to walk. Returning.
