General

  1. What does "SAS" stand for? What's the proper way to pronounce it?
  2. "SAS" stands for San Antonio Shoemakers™. Sometimes we are referred to by our abbreviated name, which is SAS /‘es’a‘es/. While we prefer San Antonio Shoemakers™ over SAS, how our customers say our name is not as important to us as how they enjoy the comfort of our shoes.

  3. I'm a first-time customer. How do I order?

Just search or browse our site to find an item you want to order and add it your shopping cart by clicking the "Add to Cart" button on the product page. You'll be taken to your shopping cart where you can checkout by clicking the "Proceed to Checkout" button. Payment can be made by Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover. After you place your order, you can check its status online by examining a confirmation email with tracking information upon the shipping of your order. If you prefer, you can also place your order over the phone by calling us at 1-877-727-7463 (SAS-SHOE).

  7. How do I know if my favorite SAS shoe is still available?
  8. If your local authorized SAS retailer does not have the style or color you want in stock, it may still be available. Most of our SAS styles stay around for many years and become wardrobe staples. The styles that are available on the website will be shoes that are all supported by our current line. However, if you have a question about a style that is not on the current website please contact our Customer Care department by calling 1-877-727-7463 (SAS-SHOE) or via email.

  9. My laces keep coming undone, what can I do?
  10. If you are having difficulty with our laces coming undone, it would be best to try tying them in opposite directions. This is when you make the second loop, go under and over the first loop towards the body. Please attempt to tie the shoes in this manner. This has been more successful with our customers.

  11. What can I do if I have a question? What if I need assistance with the website?
  12. If you are having difficulties with the website or have a general question about the site please call our Customer Care department at 1-877-727-7463 (SAS-SHOE) or email us a question.

  15. Is the color I see on the website the actual color of the shoe?
  16. While we strive to accurately represent our shoes on our website, the actual color and texture cannot always be properly conveyed in a digital photograph.
