Customer Reviews SAS Gretchen - DELETED

Living in Florida, I always have a difficult time finding lace-up boots and an even harder time finding comfortable ones. I drove 35 miles one way to try on these shoes at an SAS store, and because they didn't have my size the first time, I tried a half- size smaller in a wide width, which usually works. It didn't work this time, and the boots squeaked near my ankles with every step I took. I made the 70 mile round trip a second time to take them back and swap them out, and the store had the correct size that time. I didn't really want to pay that much for a pair of shoes, especially never having worn SAS shoes and knowing how they would be, but I'm glad I took the plunge. There was absolutely no break-in period, and these boots were comfortable from the minute I put them on. I've had them for about a year and a half now, and they have held up well and look almost as good as when I bought them. I probably wear them at least once a week, sometimes more often, and they are my "go to" shoes for casual days at work, because they are the perfect balance between casual, dressy, and comfortable. The one feature that I would love to see added to make this the perfect boot is a zipper on the inside (ankle side) of each boot to make getting them on and off easier. It's not always convenient to have to tie and untie a pair of shoes, and I have a pair of black boots from another shoemaker that have a zipper on the inside. If SAS added this, I would probably buy a pair in two or three colors, and I may never buy another brand of lace-up boots again.

These boots should receive a 5 star for quality, looks and the non slip sole! The blue color is beutiful and i was looking forward to wearing them! Sadly, although they were "Slim" they were not slim enough and I returned them. Perhaps unless you have a AAAA width foot like mine, you will love these boots and love the fit.

It's true!! I have more stability and a better fit from ankle boots for my 10.5 AAA feet. Yay!!!

I have had a blue pair of these for a few years and wear them all the time. I decided to gift myself with a second pair, this time in brown. I love how they fit, how versatile they are. I wear orthotics and they easily go into these boots. Chukka boots work for outdoors, rainy weather, casual with jeans or with longer skirts. They are my "go to" choice, even more than my many other pairs of SAS brand shoes.
