I will never wear another kind of shoe to work again. Suffered from painful feet for a long time and began developing plantars fasciitis. Tried these shoes based on recommendations from coworkers. Got a pair at an SAS store and loved them so much I bought 2 more online. The instructions that come with them say; because they are real leather they should not be worn repeatedly without allowing them to dry completely. I rotate the 3 pairs and they are incredibly comfortable. I used to think it was crazy to spend so much on shoes, but now I look at it as an investment in my health and worth every penny.
There is no doubt that SaS makes great shoes. I first learned about them from a friend who is diabetic. (And, yes, they are Medicare-approved for Diabetics.) The leather is top quality that's treated to resist water, the soles are the non-slip type, and the quality of workmanship is first-rate. I have high arches and insteps and I particularly like the long lacing area that gives me a secure fit. Also, the fit on my 13W feet is dead on. I've only tried the Guardian and the Move On models. The Move Ons were a disappointment as they are wider than the Guardians and have a small lacing area that doesn't give a very secure fit. We have very hot summers where I live and they are nice for when my feet swell up, but I would not buy them again. You can't go wrong with the Guardians. My only complaint is that they only come in black - they'd look really nice in a chestnut brown. Maybe SaS will do something about that, but it's probably a cost issue. That being said, these rather expensive shoes are so comfortable that, assuming they are durable and last a long time, they are worth every penny.
I work in busy kitchens on wet and oily tile floors. I'm damn near 300 lbs and have a size 14 extra wide foot. These are the BEST shoes Ive ever run. Nonslip is top tier, even new they're safe. Unlike many kitchen shoes they're actually presentable and you can run in them without them flying off. You'll want to run aftermarket insoles. If you really like your clogs, toss the Birkenstock cork insert in here and your good to go. People say they're expensive, but if you've been in this business any time you know that cheap is really expensive after the third time buying the cheap version. The slipon from these guys is good too but the lace up is a little better if you really gotta boogie.
Got a new job on my feet allllll day. After first month was in agony at end of the day. Talked to a few nurses i know- all of them said same thing SAS shoes. Got a pair - they ain’t cheap- but worth every penny. From day one, they have made my work days better. On second pair.
Over the years I have had 5 pairs of different styles of SAS shoes. I’ve tried others but always go back to SAS. Yes, they’re pricey but they last a long time and if you suffer from planter fasciitis BUY these shoes!
Solid and supportive shoe. Shoe is a little heavy for walking. Put in own insole that have more arch support. Unfortunately, the nonslip tread is wearing down already after a couple of months. My job does require lots of walking as well as standing in areas that are greasy and very wet. Great traction, just wish the soles would hold up better. Bought this men’s shoe since they seemed to have a wider base than the women’s to accommodate my extra wide foot. Hope they will last at least a year since they were so pricey.
