Customer Reviews SAS Gretchen

I'm so glad these cute boot shoes came in extra wide which is hard to find.

Nice supportive boot, just a little snug around my ankles. they may need to be stretched out a bit with wearing them. Leather is a little stiff. I thought it would be softer.

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.

Well made and up to the great SAS standards. Put score of 4 because got them at end of winter. Did not use much. Will know better next Fall through Winter. Have no doubt they will be fine however, cannot give 5 until I know. Thank you

Ordered the red Gretchen Boot. Unpacked it, loved the color, liked the non-skid sole. Ordered 10-WW, just not wide enough. Wear 10 WWW in Free Time, but I hoped they would fit. Sadly the shoe didn't fit. Maybe next year Gretchen will come in WWW.

These were well made and cute but I have a thin heel and they were just too wide and slipped. Had to return.

I have looked for this style of shoe for years. But because I wear a double w have not been able to find them before now. I love them.

I have a wide foot and a high instep. Finding a boot to fit was very frustrating. The fact that this boot comes in a wide fit and has laces made it adjustable so that it fits me perfectly. My only wish is that it were a bit dressier. I love wearing it with jeans and casually. I've worn it with dressier pants to church, but it really is a more casual boot. I'm just happy to have a boot that fits that is also very comfortable.

I bought two pair of this style. I had the black Alpine ww for several years and was hoping these were made on the same pattern. They seem to be close. The gray are red chucka ones seem slightly tighter arcoss my very very high instep, but i can wear them for 10 or more hours.

I bought gray and red pairs of this boot. I have a very wide foot and super high instep. These boots at least go on my feet and can stay there all day without feeling too tight. I can't get a thick sock on, but with dress socks and leggings i can even wear these with dresses and skirts.

I have purchased several pairs of shoe Omar SAS and they have all been great!
