Rave About my New SAS Sneaks

I’m at the airport and about to board...

I travel and walk A LOT and am wearing out my two pairs of white sneakers fast. Hence I got another pair. Brand is SAS, which I could get in a NARROW width for my low volume feet. Fit sooo well. Very comfy and robust. Walking on clouds. All leather. Fun ‘80s flashback for me too.

Just had a very important cuppa tea, and thanks for the good wishes on my earlier thread. Keep those fashion and style feet moving

Safe travel. You look glowing like always. Fun sneakeres, remember having very similar pair of Reeboks in 80’s.

OK, now I’m tickled because I just succumbed to Mr G’s suggestion to at least try these exact same SAS sneakers for my daily walks. Total comfort, but I was bothered by images of my mum’s feet in her SAS shoes during her senior years when she had mobility problems.

Seeing Angie’s feet in her white sneakers makes me feel SOOOO much better....

Cute shoes! And they come in many widths!! I have been looking for a travel shoe for my one bag travel trips, so will have to investigate.

Have a great trip.

Anchie, I know, right? Very ‘80s Reebok-esque.

RunCarla and Suz, you’re as gracious as ever. Thank you.

Gaylene, you crack me up. Glad to have been of service! I’m high fiving Mr. Gaylene - and this is not the first time

Karen13, they come in widths AND colours. I think they look prettiest in white, but the blue and copper are cute too.

Angie, leave it to you, to turn something that I associated with my grandmother in her later years, into a style statement. Leave no retail stone unturned, indeed!

Wow, old school! Bon voyage!

So 80's! Love it. Happy to hear they are all leather. You need that if you're going barefoot. Happy travels.

Your new sneakers do remind me of my beloved Reeboks from the 80s. My mother wore SAS. I am going to try them. Copper sounds perfect for me.

Yay for comfortable feet! You are glowing as much as your radiant yellow scarf. Have a great time with your papa!

Thanks, ladies. You’re all sooo lovely.

Kathie and Christina, if the Arizona Birkenstock can become a trendy fashion statement - the sky is the limit. ANYTHING can have its fashion and style moment - that’s a perk of our fashion era. We just have to be open minded about it, and wear it in a way that makes us feel fab. Hope that makes sense.

Smittie, woohooo. Go Team ‘80s.

Just a comment to say how much I love the sneaker trend. May it never die. May I never tire of it.

Ooh, these look just like my Reebok Princess sneakers that I used to wear!

I am having a total fashion flashback! What’s next, bright colored painters pants? Glad you’re found a sneaker that works for you.
And your luggage tag is just the best!

Love the luggage tag! And Im glad you have good comfy walking sneakers. May your flight be calm and noneventful

SAS are great! I wore a black nubuck version for years and years. My most recent pair, bought for Paris 3 years ago, 10 1/2 N, are now too narrow in the toes and too broad in the heel.

Never thought of wearing white ones. They look pretty good on you. Maybe I'll go to the SAS store and see what they have. I've done well with their walking sandals too. Definitely for serious walking, but some of them aren't too bad looking.

Happy walking! I look forward to seeing some outfits with these. (And yes, my Mom wore them too--after years of wearing such lovely high heels.

It totally makes sense! I’m unapologetic about my black Danskos. They go the distance for me as commuting shoes, so lots of people see then on me.

You do wear the white sneakers well!

Bon voyage! You must be in the air right now. I first thought you were raving about new airplane snacks not sneaks - I must be having vicarious jet lag!

Lynn

Hum, just bought Birkenstocks Arizonas so will have to look at SAS especially if they have narrows :))
Have a safe trip and wonderful visit with your father.

I love that fresh out of the box clean white and wow they look comfortable. Safe travels Angie.

Angie- so glad you have your happy sneakers. Ironically, i have owned my first pair of SAS sandals for 4 days. Looking for sturdy comfortable pair that could work for meals out and lots of sightseeing as we visit Liguria, I stumbled upon a pair that has 3 adjustment points and honors my feet. The prettiest pair of SAS sandals didn't work, but by the time we figured that out, I was in love with the footbed, so I compromised slightly on style for function and I'm still happy.

Like some others, SAS try-ons made me swallow hard after buying them for my father for 15 years; even laughed with the salesman about it, as he had helped us. Mr. Eliza has worn SAS sneaker type shoes for years though and they have saved his feet.

So, never say never. Thanks for the inspiration, Angie.

You are adorable as always!
And bonus points to you for supporting an american brand that I view as something of a heritage brand
