The Free Time shoe is both comfortable and supportive. The toe box is wide enough for toes to move and breathe and the shoe is easy to lace. It is a nice looking shoe that I wear everywhere and have been doing so for many years.

Never want to be without this shoe! Unbelievably comfortable. Love that I can slip my inserts into these shoes too. Everyone should have at least one pair of these shoes in their closet.

I'm a Substitute Teacher. I'm on my feet all day walking on concrete. These shoes will provide the needed support for my feet and back because of their construction. I just bought them however after walking in the shoe store and now around the house I'm excited to start wearing them on a daily basis at school to provide the needed relief to my legs, feet and back.

Best shoes ever. A little softer on the leather, please, and a dressier shoe so I can feel good dressing comfortably up. Thanks

Been buying these shoes since the 90's. Had a bruised heel pad. On crutches 4-6 wks. If I have to wear another style, say for a wedding or funeral, my foot always hurts till I get my Freetimes back on. Buy a pr. every 11/2-2yrs. I even use a pr. for yard work. They stay out in the garage. I rotate between several pr. The last pr. I bought were Tour White. Don't like as well as Freetime, but still better than any other brand..

These are the most comfortable shoes I have ever worn. After a lifetime of difficulties with shoes due to severe bunions, i had foot surgery in 2017 and 2018. These were the first real shoes I'd worn in years; I'd been living in Crocs because nothing else fit. These shoes fit perfectly; I haven't had a single moment of pain, which is a first for me! And I like the way they look. Many "comfort shoes" are clunky and ugly; these look more like a leather sneaker. I couldn't be happier.

I've been wearing Free Time for many years. Every time that I wear this RED shoe, I get compliments. Men love the red! When I heard that SAS was discontinuing the RED, I bought 3 pairs!

I have a problem foot and could not find any shoes that I could wear. I wore SAS Free Time years ago, so thought I would give them a try. It seems
to have worked.

I have bad veins in both legs. These shoes I would recommend for anyone. They are expensive, but they last a long time. I try and buy a pair every 18 months. My first pair of shoes lasted me 2 years.i wore them everyday. When I get the second pair I will wear the other ones every other day. These shoes are the Best.

I bought this red Free Time shoe about 4 yrs ago. At first I didn't have any place to wear it very often as I had retired and wore SAS Touring sneakers most of the time. After a couple of years, I dressed up more and wear it to church, out on the town, etc. I have had many compliments on the shoe and could wear it all day and night long if need be. However, mine are beginning to be a little scuffed up and I started to think about buying a new pair and found that the red shoes seem to being going away. WHY??? Please bring back the RED!!

I have worn this style SAS shoe for years. I worked delivering mail and was on my feet all day. This is
the shoe that I wore. My feet and back were not hurting at the end of the day. If you are going on a
vacation with a lot of walking involved I would recommend that you buy a pair of these shoes. You will
not be sorry. I cannot wear sneakers so these are my choice for good shoes to walk in.

I am so happy with the entire shoe! Great style & comfort. I have trouble finding a shoe to fit and that gives so much comfort that I am able to wear all day. SAS shoes are always made with quality materials.
I love the look and denim color. I hope SAS will choose to make more shoes in different colors.
It was so easy to purchase and received promptly.

These shoes, although not real stylish, are wonderfully comfortable. At first the prices on SAS seemed extremely high but you really get your money's worth. This pair replaced a similar pair I bought about 20 years ago. Those are still usable, just put in a new inner sole and keep them polished and they are a great alternate pair. I wear them with jean's.

I have very narrow feet so was happy when I learned these came in AAA. As it was, the right heel could have been even narrower. However, it is the best fit yet and I am very happy with them. I will be buying more shoes from this company.

I've been wearing this shoe for years. It always feels true to size and comfortable right out of the box. I do add arch supports though because these don't provide as strong a support that I require.

Great support! Super comfort! Solidly okay style!
I bought these for my Mom, who has some temporary swelling in her ankles (medication, fun!).
She is usually a size 9.5 B or 9.5 C=9.5 W in Women’s depending on the shoe style. We tried several sizes since I knew the fit may be off (again, ankles). The 9.5C/9.5W was a bit snug in the toe area and in the ankle, wearing a medium thickness sock, which is sock she prefers for a sneaker/casual dress walking shoe.
Best fit ended up being a 10 D=10 WW.
So if you have any similar swelling I'd go up a unit of width and maybe even a half size. But's it's all close to normal sizing and a thin sock could make the difference. In this case it's hard to predict "true fit" for the general public.
She says they are very comfortable and she was able to wear them for a full first day of marathon walking (no, not literal) with zero problems. No break-in period; just put them on and "go!"
She's not what I would call overly thrilled with the style - it's fairly utilitarian=school uniform in Teak brown - but says she finds it acceptable when pants are long enough to cover most of the shoe (ha). Let's face it, for what this is - the design seems on point.
I'll note she was out in the rain for a while and did not mention any problems with loss of traction / slipping.
Some of the other colors may be trendier. We only saw three of them in person; Zappos photos look accurate. The Bronze metallic was nice but she found it too cutesy/young-leaning for a mature woman. The Black was acceptably low-key.
Overall, a good buy on a high quality shoe and as usual Zappos was Total Awesomeness with quickly providing multiple sizes for fit, and the easy return of all the ones that did not work. :)
I'd also recommend:

I have these shoes in black and love them so ordered again in dark blue from 2 other stores--one didn't carry the color and the other did not carry the size. However, Zappos can always be relied on. They had just what I wanted and I was wearing the shoes in 2 days. This SAS shoe has excellent arch support, is true to size and width and is well made. Not only are they comfortable on my arthritic feet, but are a compliment to my tailored outfits. I own several pair in different styles. I recommend SAS shoes and Zappos.

I received these shoes this morning, and tried them on right away. They felt so good. It's so difficult to find AAA width shoes so I've been wearing AA. The correct fit makes a world of difference! Going to my podiatrist tomorrow to pick up orthotics. Can't wait to be wearing these comfy, well-fitting shoes. I'm sure my back and legs will feel better with the right foundation. I gave only 3 stars for style because I'm only 81 years old and would like a more trendy style.

This is the best I have every bought. I wear these shoes everyday doing my household chores because they are so comfortable and sturdy and the support is great. Also a very good walking shoe.

Love these SAS Shoes! This is my second pair (different color) in this style. As a senior, I require additional foot support so wear these most of the time. They are attractive with pants for almost any occasion. I have several other styles also and wear only SAS. I appreciate the care shown to the purchaser by the company. Also I love receiving my shoes from Zappos in a snappy 1-2 days!
