Customer Reviews SAS Dream

We drove from Denton to Lewisville to buy the new Isabel, which is shown online as being available in a wide variety of sizes and widths. Unfortunately, my size was not in stock, as usual, because it is a 5 1/2 or 6 wide. I get extremely frustrated being told that it can be ordered, which I know but resent not being able to try on a shoe. I just counted, and counting the Dream, I have 13 pairs, but most are sandals, one pair that is over 20 years old.(I have 3 pairs of Hurache Not one is a perfect fit, but they are closer than most brands. Tried on and bought the Dream, even though I needed a dress shoe. Recently when we were in the store, the Manager was there and waited on my husband. He received the measuring of his feet and recommendation of a different size than he had been wearing. He left the store as a happy customer. I feel captive of what is available in the nearest fit.

I ordered 11.5 narrowmy usual SAS size. Shoe was longer and wider vs my other SAS favorites. I will keep it. However, if I had tried it on before purchase I would have left it in the store. Comfortablesort of ???

I really appreciated the comfort and support this shoe provided. I like how it stayed on my foot and that there was a velcro strap to help with that. I had been told it felt like a cloud and it really was that comfortable. However, my feet are an odd size and even though it fit in length wise and it didn't slip off my heel it pinched my toes on the side. I would say that is user error more that the shoe error.

While the color choices were very limited, went with blue, which is okay, but definitely not as desirable as black. Even though the extra wide shoe looks really narrow (because the base of the shoe is not made as wide as other extra wide shoes I've purchased from SAS), the shoe itself stretches to fit my extra wide foot. But the show is difficult to get on, for a slip on, so I had to purchase a shoe horn.

I love the look of this shoe and it was comfortable in the store though my heels slipped a little. I didn't worry about it. Wore them out for the first time today and discovered not just heel slippage but, even though they're flexible, the stitching really rubbed my not-so-big bunions. I discovered that when I took the insole out they felt great--my foot was lower in the shoe so know rubbing and no slippage--so I guess I need to find a thin insole to replace it. That's a little disappointing because I like the construction of the insole the shoes came with but don't plan to use them. I would recommend with caveat.

I bought a pair of Dream within a year of when they first came out and boy, were my feet ever happy! That pair of Dream were so comfortable and they really cushioned my feet. I've had a lot of trouble with foot pain over the years and out of all the SAS shoes I've had, that pair of Dream was the best most comfortable shoes I've ever worn. Unfortunately, I wore them out after a few years and bought a new pair, then another new pair a half size bigger, and neither pair were as comfortable as my first pair. They didn't seem to be as wide across the toe as my very 1st pair nor did they feel as cushiony as my very 1st pair. Plus the soles felt thinner in the ball of foot area than when the Dream first came out. I've worn SAS shoes for many years. They helped ease my foot pain a lot. Then when I tried the Dream for the 1st time I was beyond thrilled. I'm guessing maybe SAS made a few changes to how the Dream was first made, possibly to save money? After wasting my hard-earned money on 3 pairs (yep, I tried 1 more time to get the same comfortable shoe I originally bought a few years prior) I decided to try a different brand. I used to recommend SAS shoes but after my experience with the Dream I don't recommend them as much. Even more unfortunate, I'm not the only person who has noticed the difference from when Dream first came out to how it's made now. Even worse, I almost bought 2 pairs the first time but didn't because I assumed they'd be made the same way. Needless to say, I'm still kicking myself for not buying 2 pairs the first time.
