Customer Reviews SAS Walkaround

Well let me start off by saying I have been wearing SAS shoes for about two decades. I started wearing this brand, as it was recommended by several work associates in the casino, where I work. It didn't disappoint and wore Timeouts in the beginning and later when they introduced the Guardian, this was my go to shoe. Did all that it claimed especially slip resistance which in a restaurant is key. Job changed, need to get brown slip resistant shoes and this is what I found. Spent over $300 on shoes and started to slip at work. Reached out to the company and was told to stop wearing the shoes! Can't work without shoes! Now I can't find something in that size or style. Basically there was nothing they could do, but give me a discount on shoes that were not the combination of brown or slip resistant. They said they wouldn't be able to resell them. If they did what they said I wouldn't be trying to give them back! I am shocked this how they do business. Was told they are slip resistant. Description clearly say NON SLIP in the title. Give a company close to twenty years of loyalty and this is how they treat their customers. Food for thought if you are thinking of purchasing these. Sad thing is shoe is comfortable. IT NEEDS THE SOLE FROM THE GUARDIAN!! Shoe falls way short on that end and it is listed as a work shoe on top. Live and learn. Don't make the same mistake. You are putting your health and safety at risk! They don't care either. I reached out and the description says the same, as when I purchased them. Never expected this to unfold this way. What a shame!

I had been wearing New Balance walking shoes, 9.5 WW, when I was referred to SAS shoes by a co-worker. I ordered with these dimensions, returned them, and then ordered the Walkaround in 8.5 Reg. Width. They fit perfectly, similar to the New Balance, however I found out that I no longer need to wear my Dr. Scholl's 420 Inserts. I had been wearing these inserts because at the end of my 12.5 hr. shift, my dogs were barking pretty loudly. The original shoe laces, similar to leather cord which I loved, didn't last very long, maybe 2-3 months. However, SAS supplied an extra pair of shoe laces which were shorter and are waxy braided leather, which I love even better! Hopefully they will last much longer and I can find an identical replacement at that point. I do have some concern about the soles because they have wore down quite a bit in the four months they I have wearing them. My work terrain is at least 75% rough asphalt and concrete. However, despite the wear, they grip really well on any wet surface. I will definitely buy these again in the future, hopefully several years from now!

Great for walking on uneven terrain. Old cities with cobble stone walk ways. They are more stable than running shoes this application.

I'm 82. These are arguably the finest shoes I've ever owned. They are beautifully made with the finest materials. Very happy to have them.

High quality material. The wide toe box is noticeably wider than most shoes of this type, but easy to adjust to and noticeably comfortable. Can make the overall size feel a half size too large, but in reality not. And with walking shoes, a heavier sock is usually encouraged for longer walking times.

I am 78 and try to walk a lot and for that use this shoe is super comfortable and the sole is very stable. It feels better on my feet than any shoe I've ever had on bar none. Worth every penny. Plus it's Buffalo hide.

Finally a pair of shoes that my husband likes. Every year I try new options for him and I always end up returning. Very excited that at last we have found something that fits well and he enjoys.

Bought for my son as bday gift. Helps his feet to not ache and gives him the support he needs.

Great wearing shoes. Comfortable.

I wear this shoe out everywhere. Great for walking.

I use this shoe both for everyday wear and for work. I work as a Head Usher in a large entertainment venue and at work I can be on my feet for six or more hours a day when we have two performances. These shoes provide needed support and are very comfortable. I will repurchase - right now I'm on m second pair and about to send the first in to be resoled.

Stand all day on hard floors and walk miles a day

I like the extra wide vibrate sole with stitching on the outside of the shoe sole, which gives better lateral stability than SAS's other models, which I tend to wear out in 6-8 months. Because of the Vibram sole and the way it is attached, it should be very easy to resole, which is very important given the premium cost of the shoe.

Great shoes and worth the money!!

I've worn the same style shoe by SAS for approximately 20 years. In fact I'm still wearing the 20 year old shoes working in the yard. They are comfortable, they last and I like the look.

The shoes were easy to order and arrived in a timely manner.

i would buy this item +again. And I am going too buy another pair today Helps my legs feel better after a full day of work

incredibly stable, easy walking, good road grip, and I walk a lot.

I like to wear them in casual clothing.

My feet over the years have become more tender, and my left foot started to have problems. The podiatrist suggested that I change brand of shoes. The company he encouraged me to research was SAS, the best advice, and the best shoes my feet have experienced. Thank you SAS

shoes fit well but leather laces do not stay tied

I walk 4 to 6 miles in these shoes on pavement, gravel, dirt and grass everyday. They are the best walking shoes I have ever worn. I have very wide feet and had been wearing NB USA size 9 in their widest version. These shoes are 9 extra wide and they fit beautifully. The vibram soles are great for walking and soak up rocks and other uneven surfaces with ease. Made in the USA and ability to have resoled brought me in and the comfort will keep me buying these shoes.
