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

Disappointed in damaged finish on shoe

I have worn Viva in black for over 20 years. When I saw them in Blueberry, I ordered them to go with jeans. First pair was damaged, scuff marks all over and I returned them. I asked for an exchange, specifically asked for coloration to be checked and the second pair arrived scuffed as well. I’m afraid if I exchange them, I will go through the same.
I am willing to keep the shoes but want a discount! $178 is a lot to pay for shoes that are damaged. I’ll try to get some shoe polish/cream to match. Please respond to me via email.

Exactly what I was hoping for!

Perfect fit, no slipping or pinching which is almost a miracle. I wear a 10.5 narrow. Not easy to find and still no guaranteed fit if I do find them. They aren’t sexy but cute enough.

Definitely Time for a New Pair!

These are great shoes! I have been wearing this particular shoe since college. My last pair was over 10years old. I was so pleased to find them online, and when I tried on my first order, they were too tight! The replacement was easy and quick. Thank-you! I am very pleased!

My Go-To, Go-Out Anywhere Shoes

The Viva Black has been the most comfortable shoe in my wardrobe for years. I am not a sneaker person, rather an old fashionista who likes to dress up—as though every day is a party. It may not be the most glamorous looking shoe on the block but I don’t know what I would do without them. My feet hurt in every other pair of shoes I own—including my slippers. I give a sigh of relief whenever I put the Viva on. When I’m going out somewhere special, I put on some black pants, a fabulous artist made necklace and earrings—so that the focus is not on my shoes, and know that I will have a great time—foot loose and fancy free!

Comfortable & Lovely Leather

Bunion surgery on L foot with hardware that needs removal...plus arthritis.... then bunion on R foot that causes no pain beyond ugly and awkward to fit ... equals problem feet !! Have had my go to's ( Klogs Mission Leather ) discontinued and have tried over a DOZEN alternate shoes - no luck. UNTIL SAS Easy Walk. Love these shoes. Nero color is flat chalkboard black, versatile with a bit of style, XXW accommodates broad forefoot., laces lock my feet in place, and the leather is soft and does not chafe the rotten hardware in my surgery foot. Quality construction, stylish under wide leg pants, and best of all, no CEMENT supportive soles to make walking miserable. Super glad to buy American made... American customer service was also really good- I tried 2 other shoes styles before finding these, and SAS covered all exchange shipping charges. Will buy from this company again.

Viva shoes

I bought these this month because my old Viva's finally wore out.
I purchased those way back years before I retired in 2011, and wore them consistently for many years. The only reason I am giving 4 stars instead of 5 stars is because I wish the soles were slip resistant. They are pretty slick in winter weather.

Viva

I have been wearing Viva for several years. I have it in black and also brown. I ordered another black only because I want to have a back up in case they no longer make this style. Of course the price had gone up considerably. The new one seems a little larger and the leather is a bit duller. That being said, it is the most comfortable shoe I own.

Love my SAS VIVA Shoes

After two attempts to find my correct width, I am extra, extra wide , In the past I was double wide. I realized my foot has gotten wider over time. I put them on and Eureka...they fit. And no more laces...slip them on and go! Customer Services was so helpful in sorting this fit issue.

Fantastic shoes!

This is my 2nd pair of SAS shoes that have been comfortable, supportive, and good looking. As a person that has had multiple joint surgeries, it was important to obtain a shoe that offered excellent support to keep me mobile. These SAS shoes also come in wide width that I require. I would recommend these shoes for anyone in a similar situation as myself, or to anyone on their feet all day.
