Customer Reviews SAS Journey Mesh - DELETED

Very well structured shoe. Great support. They felt a bit clunky for my taste as I like something more streamlined but if you are looking for a sneaker that supports you, this is great and has nice style. I'm more of a lightweight Nike kinda person. this veers closer to New Balance sneakers. I'm also female. I wear an 11 women's and the men's 10 was a bit loose even with an orthodic. If you're a solid 10 in Men's it should be fine. If you sometimes wear 9 1/2, go with a 9 1/2.

This was the third pair of SAS shoes I have purchased. I have two pairs of the SAS Venture (Gray and brown). I wear a size 13AA, so I always have a hard time finding comfortable, good quality shoes in my size. I purchased the SAS Venture in 13 Slim, which is "A" width according to the store. They fit perfectly and are very comfortable. (Shoes companies today cater to wider widths when you get up to a size 13. In fact, I have given up on shopping in stores to find any type of shoes, athletic, casual, dress, etc.) Unfortunately, the SAS Journey Mesh in size 13 Slim, was wider in the heel than the Venture and they slid too much on my heels. I had to return them. Otherwise, I will consider buying SAS shoes in the future, depending on the style and fit.

True to size

Great fit and very nice looking shoe. Platform is pretty stiff out of the box, will have to see if it softens up with wear.

I was looking for a lower profile athletic shoe that still provided some stability at the ankle and this shoe really hit those marks. I wanted a cushier footbed so I used my own insert after removing the insole that came with the shoe. In terms of size, a 9.5 WW was too long so I went down a half size, but there wasn’t a huge difference in length. Will mention I’m female with very painful feet, so I buy SAS men’s Journey sneaker bc it has a higher instep to fit my foot more comfortably, yet still a bit lower profile around the ankles.

For a comparison to the iconic New Balance 990 series running shoe model, I purchased the grey suede-nylon SAS Journey athletic styled shoe. For length fitting the two brands are about equal. My shoe size width is B, and the SA model B width is a bit more narrow fitting (at the ball of the foot), than the New Balance 990 shoe model. For comfort and stability, the SAS Journey has more of a rigid walking shoe sole compared to the relatively flexible out sole running shoe design of the New Balance 990. In summary, if you have worn the New Balance 990 series running shoe, but might like to try a bit heavier duty, more rigid bottom walking style shoe, the SAS Journey may fit your needs.

I require a fuller toe space than this conventional, more pointed style affords, so I am exchanging them. Otherwise, they felt true to width and length and fit well.

THE SHOE WAS TOO SMALL. I WEAR ORTHOTICS & THEY WERE PAINFUL TO MY FEET.

I normally wear men's size 11 but the SAS was much larger than, for example, Mizuno which fits fine in size 11. The SAS shoe also felt much heavier - weighs more I guess. Had to send them back.

Don't know if these would work in a different size. Usually trust Zappos recommend size. This time they really missed the mark. Could barely get them on they were so small and I usually order a size larger, but each time I looked at them they put in the smaller size.

Fit and comfort inadequate. Too costly.

Tried the size 14, my normal size, but it was too big and the13-1/2 was too small. Plus there was some sort of animal fur inside the shoes and the soles were dirty.

Size was right on but the width when you tied the shoe as tight as you can still had so much loose shoe in the arch area, material could be folded over..

I've worn a size 13 Wide mens with New Balance classic shoes for a long time. Wanted to try out the SAS Journey Mesh instead (ordered a 13 Wide mens). When they arrived, I put them on and they were huge on me. I definitely would go with a 12.5 normal width. So, I'd say these run a little big compared to standard sizes (again, comparing "solely" again New Balance since that's the only shoe I've really worn for every day use in a long time). Otherwise, they seem like decent shoes, but that's just from holding them in my hands.

They hurt the bottom of my feet really bad if I walk or stand to long in them. Not sure why but they do.

I am being treated for male pelvic pain in the past six months and there's a hurdle to overcome involving the design of the heel in these tennis shoes. There's a significant "ledge" between the heel and the rest of the foot pushing my entire carriage forward and putting too much emphasis on the knees. I even had some thinner insoles my size laying around and they didn't change things significantly. These shoes are well made. I'm sorry but no.
