Customer Reviews SAS Gretchen

Having had recent ankle surgery, these shoes are made just for me! They are comfortable and have a fair amount of stability for my ankle. They are terrific looking and water proof to boot. I would definitely recommend them to anyone.

Marvelous boots, so comfortable and also cute. I just ordered a second pair.

Beautiful shoes, good quality leather and finishing, unfortunately my orthotics do not fit well so I need to return.

Like one of the reviewers I have posterior tibial insufficiency, so I took note of her review, and I'm glad I did. I suspect I'm more severe because I do need orthotics most of the time, but I think these boots will be my break shoes. I wear the Tour with my orthotics. Anyway, these boots are generously sized, or I should say properly sized, which is unusual. I measure exactly 11.5 AAA, and these fit like a dream in the 11.5 slim, supportive with good toe room.It also has good cushioning without being too soft. Some people like a soft shoe, but I can't be moving around too much. A super slim might find them too loose without another insole. Though this shoe is great for certain work environments (slip resistant) and walking about town, I wish a quality company like SAS would make a real hiking shoe/boot with some tread that fits women with long and narrow feet. People in my size have no options among all the hikers I've checked out throughout the years except New Balance (just now and then).

This shoe looks like it would fit narrow, but it doesn't feel narrow. Love that! I have posterior tibial tendon dysfunction and have found SAS shoes are the only ones that I can wear other than New Balance. This is a very cute boot that looks good with slacks or jeans. Comes with extra shoe laces - with a pattern. Nice!

True to size, which is great. I used my own PowerStep orthotics along with a figure 8 ankle brace, and both fit nicely after removing the SAS insole (size 8 medium width). Cute boot to wear with jeans or skirt/tights. I like that the toe is simple, so also looks nice with work slacks. Received many compliments when I work with my skirt and tights. SAS are quality shoes and pretty much the only brand I can wear since being diagnosed with Posterior Tibial Tendon Dysfunction. New Balance works too, but I prefer to not wear them to work.

Perfect fit right out of the box. I have worn Alpine for years but was happy to see another more colorful option in Gretchen.

I have narrow flat long feet and these are the best fit so far of any boot I've tried (and there are hardly ANY in my size configuration- 11.5-12 very narrow). Wouldn't mind them being a little more stylish, but hey, I'm glad I found something a bit contemporary where my foot isn't slipping around inside the shoe all the time, or I have to wear extra socks to take up the slack. I'm willing to pay the price for quality.

Great!

I am so glad to have boots I can wear in inclement weather. SAS makes quality products for people with problem feet. It is difficult to find shoes that fit a long narrow foot (12AAA), that don't slip off the heel. i am still wearing SAS loafers that I purchased in 2003! Please don't stop making shoes in my size!!

Thought it was the answer for a boot, water resistant and it came in slim. Even slim was loose in the heels without wool socks. But, the tongue was too thick and not flexible when walking. Pressed on front of shin. Felt like they would be comfortable for a day of walking.

This is a nice looking classic, casual boot with the excellent quality expected of SAS. It has an anti slip sole, but I think a lug sole would be better in icy conditions. Unfortunately the way the tongue hit my ankle made it hard to walk naturally, so it's not a keeper for me.

Love the look and feel of the boot, but the size did not fit, when normally that's the size I wear in that brand.

These are really attractive. Unfortunately the top of this boot hit exactly at my lower ankle bone, which has been replaced twice. The top of the boot hits on all that metal. I love the style. I just wish the fit felt less painful.
