RE: SAS Shoe Info

[Guest guest]

Hello ,

I do not wear AFO or KFO. I had a KFO made for me but I am not wearing it

now. I do need to go to physical therapy to learn how to use it. but I will

wear them with SAS shoes,. simply for the padding. The shoes are made of

leather top, anti skid rubber bottom. The bottom of the shoes itself is

filled with shock absorbent material. The shoe is hand sown. You can get

them in all kinds of odd sizes no matter how wide you foot is they got the

size for you. You can remove the insert and wash it. It is made to be

removable. This insert is soft and has the memory that remembers your foot

print. I was wearing when I hurt myself clipping my toe nail to ease the

pain. I guess the soft real leather top and the soft and rigid memory of the

insert added to that the light weight made all worth the $100 I paid for

them.

One advice, do not buy the dressy shoe. The sport shoe looks more bulky but

has more shock absorption and more grooves to prevent skidding on smooth

moist surface.

There is a specialty store where I live for work shoes (steel toe shoe for

construction) that sells SAS shoes. However I did a search on the net for

you and can not found a chain of stores the covers the land of Illi

Here is there address :

SAS

P O Box3473

San TX 78211

512 924 6562

SAS stands for the San Shoe Company.

I can not find the company on the web, but there are a lot of articles about

the company on the web. They seem be a good company. A good honest hard

working American business.

I bought Rockport's, did not like them they are stiff. I used to buy new

balance but about two years ago they changed the material of the insert and

started giving me problems. They give off strong plastic or rubber odder

that made my feet itch.

Good luck
