SAS

Shelly Adjustable Toe Loop Slide Sandal

Women's

I would call myself a "Shoe Snob". I've never cared much about being "stylish" or "fashionable". I just go for what I like. I have always sought out high-quality footwear. Nowadays, as my feet have aged (and am heading a bit past "middle-aged" at this point), I have been needing more comfort and support in my footwear as well. I love the strapping configuration on the Shelly style sandal. I love that the SAS brand is made in the U.S.A. ! I love that this brand is so accommodating and catering to such a wide variety of foot-sizes! The quality is great overall, the leather is super soft. I am almost always a 9.5 wide (C-D width). I almost never fit into most other brands due to the fact that they are a B-width and many are a *narrow* "B" at that! I discovered SAS in a search on Zappos for "wide-width" sandals after being tired of trying brand after brand of the more "popular" and expensive ($100 +) brands (and styles) only to find, yet again, that they were too narrow for my feet. The "Shelly" sandal was the first one I tried in the SAS brand. The 9.5 fit my foot with about a 1/4 inch beyond my toes (which I wanted) and about an 1/8 inch of space behind my heel (which is also good). I never want my toes and heels right up to the edge of a sandal! I quickly discovered, however, that SAS shoes/sandals run much more realistic when it comes to width sizing. I ordered the "wide" in this sandal and it was TOO wide! I fit perfectly into their "medium" width (which is really a "C" - width). For those of you having a struggle with finding the proper width in SAS footwear, keep in mind that their widths are wider than most other brands. They cover a broader spectrum of foot widths, with many styles coming in FIVE different widths! For example, look at the "SAS Nudu" sandal and click on their width drop-down menu. The width called "Slim" is more comparable to what other brands call "Narrow". Their "Narrow" width is more like a "B" (what other brands call "medium") and their "Medium" is about a "C" width (what other brands would call "Wide"). Back to the "Shelly" ...it is a quality, well-built, lightweight sandal. There is a firm, springy, soft-suede-covered foot bed on this one. It's a great sandal, however, I was unsure about it for my particular feet. The arch support (at least on this style) was "moderate" as far as what my feet need. I think if the arch had been a little stronger, more pronounced, I would have kept it. I am on my way to trying out a couple of other styles in the SAS brand. Hope this is a helpful review !

Super comfortable, feels like you're walking on a cloud. I have bad knees with little to know cartilage left on both, these shoes provide excellent shock absorbing for uneven terrain.

Love these sandals! Great comfort right out of the box. Both straps are adjustable for the perfect fit. Moderate arch support, the tops are molded & there is a nice amount of cushion for a comfortable step. No break in time needed. Put them on & start your day. They feel like a well broken-in pair of favorite shoes. Loved them so much, I bought a second pair...

Heavenly. From the first time I slipped these on my feet, I knew these were THE most comfortable sandals I have ever owned. After searching two years to replace my beloved ten-year old Clarks Artisan sandals and finding nothing to replace them, I decided to try these. Are these a little pricey? Yes, but well worth every penny. (And since they are handmade in the USA, they are thrice worth the price.) I stand on my feet all day teaching, and I need comfortable shoes...and comfort these do deliver. The toe strap raised some concern, but my fears were soon allayed. These sandals are sumptuously comfy and cute to boot. I will definitely buy another pair as I am sure these sandals will last years.

I love these shoes! They go with everything and are easy to slip on and off.
