SAS Shoes

San Antonio Shoemakers provided me with shoes for the purpose of this post, but as always, my views and opinions are my own. Thanks for supporting the brands who support Chic on the Cheap.

Part of me knew when I could lovingly refer to a pair of shoes as vicious, there was a problem.

When I was younger, never would I dream of suffering in uncomfortable shoes, and as such, my go-to footwear was black suede rubber soled clog. I had them in red too, when I was feeling fancy. But I got older, became more fashion conscious, started this blog, and the clogs swiftly got replaced by cuter, trendier footwear. Band-aids or anti-chafing balm applied in anticipation of blisters, ball of foot pads or other inserts to help soften the footbed, all feeling like poor, stop-gap solutions to what could just be simple - better designed shoes. 

Over the last few years I've been advocating finding more shoes that are offered in different widths. The idea that we should settle for most shoes only being offered in one width feels akin to bras only being offered in one cup size - it makes no sense. 

So I keep an eye out for shoe brands who dare to consider comfort and the idea that not all feet are the same width. When I got an email from SAS, touting their shoes as the cute solution to comfortable shoes, I had to head straight to their website.

I was pleased to find numerous designs that would check both those boxes (to be fair, they do have a pair of clogs that bare a striking resemblance to the aforementioned clogs of my younger years, but there are plenty of adorable shoes to balance things out). I especially love their made in Italy line of shoes, my favorites include a flat round toe slingback, a simple bootie, and the shoes I'm wearing here. Moxie is a pointy toe kitten heel with that vintage silhouette I've been seeing a lot of. Even the name evokes the idea of some old fashioned chutzpah.

Depending on the shoes, SAS's sizing offerings encompass sizes 5-12 and widths AA-WW. They are made from premium leather that will bend and move with the foot, and have padded footbeds (ahhh so comfortable). A leather sole with a rubber insert insures a good grip on the ground.

With SAS shoes, I can get from place to place in comfort with shoes that actually fit my feet. It's time to rid my closet of the 'vicious' shoes and invest in shoes I can just enjoy wearing. My feet are worth it.
