Customer Reviews SAS Venture Lace Up Comfort Sneaker

It seems that the older I get, the more difficulty I have finding comfortable shoes (10.5 extra wide). This is my first pair of SAS shoes and they fit and feel great! I have just ordered a pair of SAS Ambassadors hoping that the fit is as comfortable as the Ventures. Since I just received these shoes, I cannot comment about their longevity so I will amend this review if I find that the shoes wear too quickly. Lastly, the prices for these shoes ($234 for the Ambassadors, e.g.) seems a bit high and comparable to up scale brands with full leather construction, but since the fit and comfort, so far, has been great and since they are American made, I will pay the premium. One last comment about style: I find that most of the SAS shoes on Zappos are not attractively styled and could use an update.

Bought these for my husband who is 70+. They are very comfortable and cool looking. Not for an old man at all. He puts his orthotics in them and loves them. He has 2 pair

I'm liking my SAS sneakers. Simply, yet stylish. Easy to on the feet. Somewhat weather resistant. Overall a good show.

I've been having trouble finding extra wide sneakers that are actually extra wide. A previously reliable maker of extra wides has apparently started making them more narrow in the toe box, but kept them listed as extra wide. I was thrilled to find SAS which I had never heard of before, as these sneakers are truly extra wide. They fit perfectly and are very comfortable. Although they're somewhat expensive, these appear to be well made and you really can't put a price on comfort.

Incredibly comfortable walking shoes! I have flat feet so always struggle to find shoes that are comfortable, have good arch support, and don't look orthopedic. These shoes really feel great and my feet don't pronate with the default insoles. I usually buy cheaper shoes but these were worth the price and I'm hopeful they last a long time.

Fantastically comfortable shoe. Great for general walking. The widths are generous and help with wide bunions. Soft leather uppers. Overall great looking as well.

I purchased a pair of the Venture shoes and have to say they were worth the money. I have narrow feet so need a narrow shoe and the fit is true to size. This is the first shoe I have purchased online that I didn't have to return for a different size. Comfortable and look good too.

Great shoe for orthotics. My husband has a bad back and these shoes were recommended. He wears orthotics and these work great with them. They are hip looking as well

Best fitting athletic shoe I’ve ever owned. Very comfortable and great styling. I bought 2 different colors.

tight..need a 12 size left foot...111/2for right...i wear a brace on left footm

I have edema in one leg, so one foot is slightly swollen. Consequently, fitting shoes is challenging. That said, I own several pairs of comfortable shoes (OluKai, Geox, Florsheim, Born). However, I need better support on occasion and decided these SAS shoes might be them. I purchased my size in wide width, found they were tight in length and width, so I exchanged for half size larger and double wide. I applaud the support and quality of materials, and that they are made in the US. I also appreciate the extra laces of contrasting color which I used. The shoes feel stiff, though this may improve over time. They are also a little heavier than expected, but I attribute this to the quality of the product. Style is not an SAS strong point, but these are decent in an understated way. The bottom line is that these are not as comfortable as some of my other shoes, but hoping that will improve with repeated use. My one gripe with Zappos is that they do not permit an update of a previous review. Once in a while, I update a review on Amazon if I determine a purchase was far better or worse after a while, even a year or two. An initial impression can change over time, and that is the real test of a product. Since on-line reviews are a vital part of decision making, Zappos would have better accuracy if they provided this ability.

Seems like nice shoe, good wide width, but opening is too small to get a wide foot on comfortably.

The size was perfect, the width was not made correctly. The toe box area felt true to width, but the arch area (middle of shoe) was to small, you were walking on the outside of the shoe stepping on the rim of shoe with a lot of pain.

You know I didn’t think this one through. I thought SAS equaled slip resistant. It ain’t. I wanted a solid shoe to wear in my theater/restaurant and these weren’t the ones. I had stained them before returning so they became my gardening shoe. They’re good for that but a $100 gardening shoe isn’t right. Don’t want to dog the shoe but it wasn’t as “cool” as it looked in the picture. More like cool geriatric. But alright. I love SAS, the last pair cured my plantar fasciitis, this pair, not the answer for me.
