Customer Reviews SAS Gretchen

These shoes were such a disappointment. First, they were much larger and wider than expected (size 8.5 N). Second, the color online is not accurate--they appear reddish-brown on the website, but in reality are a very bright and much lighter red--on the magenta side. Third, they were damaged! Someone had spilled something on the left shoe--looked like it might have been red wine. Zappos should be checking merch when it's returned to make sure items are clean and like-new. These shoes should never have been sent out to a customer.

SAS makes great walking shoes for narrow feet but these are clunky and too wide for my foot, and the tongue of the shoe is poorly attached, rubbing my bunion. I have tried their "Alpine" boot as well, but same problem. They need to make a boot that fits well and supports the ankle, especially in the winter. These are going back.

These boots are Beautiful and I love them, but, the fit is awful. The size and width was fine, the last bent inward and threw my feet inward which was very uncomfortable and painful. The shoe has an inclination to turn or bend inward. Sorry to have to return them because they aesthetically are beautiful boots.

I had hoped to find a good lace up walking boot for winter for my narrow size 10 feet. These were too large and too loose for my thin ankle. SAS Touring mesh is the BEST walking shoe I have found. Sadly, other SAS walking shoes and boots have huge toe room and large ankle room. Great for some, I know, but not for me.

They looked like Frankenstein boots.

these are huge, both in length and width. i plan on returning them.

I was very disappointed. The nubuck leather is so stiff it felt like wearing wearing thick cardboard crates on my feet. They rubbed and dug in everywhere. I wear a 6WW and they were a bit narrow, which isn't unusual for my feet. But, if I'm going to wear boots that look like orthopedic shoes from the 18th century, they better be comfortable from day one. These Gretchens are really ugly.

These are amazingly uncomfortable for booties that look like orthopedic shoes. The leather is stiff and they rub on my ankles and across my instep. I think they're a little too narrow (I wear a 6WW) but it's hard to tell because they feel like heavy cardboard boxes instead of shoes. I'd be willing to wait for them to stretch and soften up if they weren't so ugly.

I ordered these in WW, the widest option offered, expecting that they'd be — you know, wide. THEY WERE NOT. I could barely get my foot into the boot. Once I managed to get a foot in, the toes immediately felt cramped. Returning immediately. Very disappointed.
