The good:
1) I originally ordered a pair of shoes that were not wide enough and had to return them. The process was very easy and I got my refund pretty fast.
2) I reordered and got a wider pair. The shoes are just as described by other reviewers. Felt great right out of the box. I have painful knees and I can walk so much better with these shoes!!!!!
3) the fact that these shoes are non slip is a nice feature when you live where there is ice.
4) i'm Likely to buy 2 more pairs of SAS shoes in the near future...a pair of tennis shoes and a pair of black shoes for work - because wow, comfort is so important!!
The bad: I do think the shoes look a bit like old lady shoes. I didn't really like them at first for that exact reason. It was the comfort that won me over. I'd love it if the shoes were "cuter." BUT I have to make this statement to SAS. Please SAS - PLEASE never sacrifice comfort for fashion.

I have flat feet and problems with plantar fasciitis. I need very supportive shoes and these are perfect. Since I wear hard orthotic inserts, the shoes get hard wear. The salesperson told me that replacing the TriPad comfort inserts would help protect the shoes but they don't seem to be sold separately on the web site.

This is the most comfortable shoe I have ever worn. The nubuck is definitely more stylish than the leather; it is also more comfortable in my opinion. Please make it in nubuck in some better colors! The charcoal is great, but the light blue and sage are totally impractical. What about a a nice dark brown or navy?

Comfortable. Walked through the mall and they have a nice cushion. No pinching in the toe box. I had this shoe in white and tan and it looked orthopedic. I ordered it in the denim blue and it looks more sporty.

I think these are excellent shoes, but they didn't quite fit my feet. It was like the width in the front was good but there was too much width in the heel. A shame because they otherwise would have fit my need and I liked them. Not stylish - a bit orthopedic looking. It might just be my feet, and perhaps a regular in this style would have worked but I didn't have time to try.

I love SAS shoes! I put these on as soon as I opened the package, wore them the remainder of the day, and they felt terrific. I have bunions which are bothered by most other shoes, but not with these. They are comfortable, fit right and have plenty of toe room.

SAS or Reebok suit my feet the best.

Great walking shoes that work with my orthotics. I got wide because of my bunion, but they fit well despite my narrow heel. The black leather fabric is a bit too shiny, giving the shoes a retro look. I wish they came in suede (black and beige).

I have the SAS Cozy sandal in 11 2A which fits great, so ordered Free Time in the same size. I have very slim heels, and a bunion on one foot. The 11 in this shoe is too long and 2A slips in the heel. The quality is very good and comfortable.. Since then I ordered another SAS style in 10.5 3A and it was not long enough but the heel did not slip for me. the 3A was good.. So it looks like 11 3A may be my size. Will see!

These shoes were comfortable from the moment I put them on, they cushion my foot, and provide me with the much needed support and stability I was looking for in a shoe. The details of the shoes are well thought out and the construction reminiscent of a time when quality was more highly regarded than quantity.

I have very narrow, flat, pronated feet and can only wear SAS shoes. They are very comfortable but the price has gone up very high since I have been buying them!!! I was paying $98.00 to 112.00 and now they are closer to $200.00. It is very difficult to pay this when you have to buy 3-4 pair of shoes. Why such a huge change??? I wish they would come up with some dressier designs.

I bought a pair recently for my day to day shoes as I spend all my time in sneakers and thought I should take better care of my feet by wearing shoes more often.
They are comfortable - the 1st time I wore them I walked around NYC during the holidays. There was some discomfort by my bunion but it was very slight and I attributed that to needing to be broken in.
One word of caution -- the teak shown is not what the actual color is -- it tends towards a mocha/chocolate brown.

The black suede shoe can go from exercise walking to "being sociable" with pants. Although I purchased extra wide, had to buy a shoe stretcher for the toe area which was surprisingly too narrow for an extra wide shoe.
Generally quite pleased!

While the shoes were stylish they were stiff. I thought over time they would crease badly. I am looking for a soft leather shoe and I will keep looking.

These are beautiful well made shoes and I had hoped to enjoy them since my husband has two pair of SAS and I always purchased SAS shoes for my mother. I found this particular pair to be very heavy and bulky for my liking. I wear Easy Spirit API shoes all the time and had hoped to make a change. Much to my disappointment, I had to return these.

I ordered this shoe because my mother and husband have always worn them and I wanted a good pair of walking shoes. When trying them on, I found them to be quite heavy and too much shoe for my liking. I wear Easy Spirit API daily and these are the perfect shoe for me. Sad but true, I must return these well made beautiful shoes. I hope to find that API offers a pair in a similar leather color. Bone is great year round and this is what I wanted.
No one can oppose the fact that these SAS shoes are some of the best on the market. If I can find one that isn't so bulky and heavy, I will order them.
Thanks for the great service both in ordering and returning items. There is not a better company to do business with other than Zappos. I'm so glad I found Zappos a few years ago and they are my go to place to order shoes and handbags.

very comfortable. The width could be a little more narrow. I do wear it all day and it is great for
walking. Love the color also. This is my second pair of this brand of shoe and I will continue to
shop for and purchase them.

I am a nurse and have worn this brand/style of shoe for years. I enjoy the variety of colors to match scrubs and everyday clothing. The only concern is the color does not always match the photo or even the title of the color. Excellent quality however and great support of arch/feet.

I've been wearing SAS Free Time for about 10 years. My feet are now wider than when I started 10 years ago. With the new pair I bought, the shoe comes up to my ankle a bit too high and I'm always aware of a sense that there is a ring around my ankle. Since they meet my needs otherwise, I will see if I can get used to it. As always it is a very well made shoe and high quality.

Width did not feel medium - too narrow. It would have to be a wide for me in this shoe.

Have a few of this style, most purchased here on Zappos. Just to note - the denim ones are not as dark as they appear here, they are more of a chambray type blue color, but very nice with denims & khakis.

I have 3 pairs of this style (denim, navy & red); black in another style SAS don't fit as well. Looking for an SAS shoe in brown or nubuck. I like these, as the toe box is a bit deeper (8 Wide). Need a wide width and deep toe box due to broken toe, arthritic joint and bunion. I did need to break them in but it didn't take long, at first I thought they were too stiff. The back is just a bit loose but I wear them with a thin to medium sock (not a nylon). Haven't tried my orthotic as yet, as the orthotic hasn't helped me much in any shoe they fit in. The only drawback so far is the denim color - the toe area showed wear after only a couple of months, so I had to buy a "shoe renovator cream" (not a polish), and that made the shoes look like new. I will be getting a shoe polish in denim blue, however. Like that they are made in the USA.

Clark shoes fit the best for me as I have a very narrow foot plus VERY high arch. These shoes work great as I can put my orthos in to take care of my high arch. the color is so nice and soft.
