Customer Reviews SAS Boulder Lace Up Sneaker

This style is adorable, with its lovely leather and round toe. But, the toe area is quite shallow, not the expected vertical toe room in a SAS...not to mention especially for the price of this shoe! It has a different insole than the Tripad, much thicker but with NO heel cup! It's flat up to the arch contour. Then, if you take out the insole and check underneath, there is a very very hard material. It was true to size, meaning my usual 7Wide was perfect.

I wish I could love these. I’m a huge SAS fan as they’re one of the only shoe brands that rarely disappoint, sadly, these did. I have very wide feet, so part of my problem with these, they just weren’t wide enough as a Double Wide wasn’t available. The other thing is I have extraordinarily high arches. These have excellent padding in the forefoot, but very little in the back, and barely any arch support. The other problem is in design. These are very good looking shoes, stylish and cute, but as a tennis shoe the little thing on the tongue that keeps the tongue in place is poorly positioned. It’s too high up on the tongue to really work correctly, added to that were the super short laces. I bought replacement laces to deal with that and wore them around my house for two weeks prior to a trip to Idaho where I’d be doing some heavy duty hiking. Needless to say, these didn’t join me as I had intended. The day before we left I accidentally stepped off of one of my stairs and rolled my foot, in the shoe, causing a sprain. It’s not the first time I’ve sprained a foot, but this could’ve been prevented if the lacing wasn’t just wrong on these. Due to the higher point of tongue bracing the shoes are very difficult to tighten below that anchor. I was trying to break them in, instead, they broke me. Since we were driving I was able to rest my sprained foot, but it still hurt during the hikes I have gone on so far. Needless to say, when I return these exceedingly expensive shoes are also returning.

I was unsure about these shoes at first, first because I wear a slim (3A) and these only came in narrow (2A), but also because I, too, felt the toe box was too short. I wore them for several days around the house and found that it didn't really bother me as much as I thought it would. But better yet, I felt that my feet were not achy at the end of the day. Today I took them on a 2 mile walk outside and felt that they did well. I have chemo induced neuropathy, and these shoes helped me to walk better and my feet did not hurt at the end of the walk.

These are great. Toe box has plenty of room and depth. Tho I normally wear a nine, they only had a 9.5 and it fits great. Roomy but not too big in foot ball area or heel

These shoes seem great. They have a wider toe box than some other SAS shoes and feel great out of the box. Plenty of room for toes and seem to be comfie for feet with bunions.

This is my 1st pair of Sas’s shoes I have 4 pairs of sandals and I love my sandals. I’m an associate teacher in a PK classroom, I been used this shoes for short time, today I try in my classroom and they were good very comfortable, my feet aren’t hurt, or my hips.

These shoes seemed very large on both feet. (Measured, one foot is size 11, the other 11.5.) Without orthotics I felt my feet slope slightly to the inside (pronation) and I have put a lot of time and effort into avoiding that. They're comfortable, don't mash, pinch or squeeze. Remember however they feel larger than stated size. They are solid, not very easily bent, and would require some time and wear to break in. They are heavy, more like low top boots. Laces tighten up easily, no hassle. For feeling of pronation, unexpectedly large size, and heaviness they go back. I'm disappointed. I needed walking shoes.

Love these! The wide toe box and deep toe box provided comfort to my problem feet (bunions, arthritis). Tried a number of SAS styles but these were the only ones comfortable for me. Tho I usually wear a 9, all Zappos had in stock was 9.5 and for SAS shoes-works gear for me

These have weird proportions. The toe box is wide, but as others have said, it is also shallow. The last and tongue are short - barely covering my instep. It seems like they were made with the bare minimum of materials. I'll be returning.
