Frequently Asked Questions

  • How long can I expect them to last?

    Everyone's experience will be different. With daily use, you can expect your SAS shoes to easily last a year or 2 and sometimes all way up to 10! This varies for everyone, depending on how hard you are on your shoes.

  • The price point seems high. Why is that?

    Our prices look high, but you get what you pay for. SAS uses the best global materials, and our shoes are handcrafted in Texas. These shoes are built to last, and the cost per wear typically ends up lower than a cheap pair of shoes. When the alternative is a pricey doctor visit, $195 starts to look a lot better.

  • What does "SAS" stand for? What's the proper way to pronounce it?

    "SAS" stands for San Antonio Shoemakers™. Sometimes the brand is referred to by its abbreviated name, which is SAS /‘es’a‘es/. While San Antonio Shoemakers™ is preferred over SAS, how our customers say our name is not as important to us as how they enjoy the comfort of our shoes.

  • Where can I find your SAS retail store? I prefer to try on shoes before purchasing.

    We are located in the New Orleans area if you would like to come in.

    We understand the concern of trying on shoes before making a purchase, and our solution is to provide Free Exchanges and Simple Returns.* This way you have the opportunity to try on your new shoes, and send them back if necessary without the hassle of paying shipping fees on your exchange.

    *Final Sale Shoes may not be returned

  • I've been wearing SAS shoes for a long time. What is SASnola?

SASnola.com is the go-to store to buy SAS shoes online, and we are proud to offer the best prices, service, and selection of any SAS online retailer.

Years later I came back to SAS

I love my SAS EMBARK SANDALS I got 9 Narrow. They fit great, I only wish the main foot strap didn't have the wide cushion strap. When my feet are swollen it bends back. Something you might want to adjust for us older ladies.

SAS sandals

This is a great company! Shoes arrived in a timely manner. The quality and craftsmanship are top notch. I love the fact that you can buy half sizes as well as narrow or wide. These sandals are the most comfortable ones I have and do not require any breaking in. I will definitely order shoes again in the future.

Like them out of the box , not really worn them

Since I keep getting emails to review these, here you go. I neither love or hate them because I bought them for a cruise that I haven't gone on yet. Perhaps if you'd have let me have a chance to wear them instead of hounding me for a review the review would be better. That's my new philosophy, if you don't give me time to try it, you get an average review. And I can't recommend something I haven't fully vetted.

My favorite walking sandal!

I LOVE these sandals - wore them walking every day while in Cozumel where it was really hot; then again during a trip to Japan. After an entire day of tours, my feet & legs felt great! In fact, I like them so much that I purchased another pair of these sandals for my next adventure!

Embark Gets 5 Stars, Customer Service - 1 Star

I previously orderd the Embark in Wisteria - The most comfortable sandal I have ever worn! I decided to purchase them in black using a discount code I was given. Upon receiving them, I decided I wanted to exchange them for another color. I was told I would be charged more because the discount code couldn't be transferred to the exchange! Never heard of this before - I make many online purchases and no one does this! Therefore, I returned them. Too bad because the sandal is just wonderful!

Embark: the Southern Sneaker

I just purchased another pair of Embark sandals because I love them so much! I live in North Florida and these are my main shoes from March to October. I like to have 2 pairs to alternate between. They are comfortable and supportive. The Velcro straps stay in place well, and are easy to adjust which is helpful when feet swell. Get the foot bed cleaning kit to freshen them up now and then.

Very comfortable sandals

From: California
Not reccomended

I’ve always been a fan of this shoe brand, but I was really disappointed with this particular model. The insole is made of leather, so after wearing them for a while—especially if your feet sweat—the material starts to peel and turns black from the moisture. As a result, the shoes look old and worn out even though I’ve only had them for a few months. For the price, I expected much better quality.

Great Sandals

I bought the Embark sandals from a retailer size 9W. I have had multiple foot surgeries, and am still recovering from Achilles tendon surgery on my right foot. These sandals are supportive and make walking much more comfortable. When I take them off, my foot still feels the arch support!

Constance N.

From: Michigan
Comfortable

The sandals are very well made and comfortable. I seem to have a problem with the toe length. I sized up a half size because I do not like to have my toes jutting out over the front of my sandals. I’m not sure why but my toes still are too close to the tips of the sandals. This has never happened with any of my other sandals 🤷‍♀️

SAS shoes for years

I have been wearing SAS shoes for over 20 years. I used to wear the Free time shoe but with foot & toe prolems, I've been wearing sandals for dress and everyday. Some sandals, I can wear the W width but some I need the WW width.
