Aden Lace Up Comfort Oxford

I was skeptical over the price of this plain Jane looking shoe, even the soles look nondescript, and no cool looking logo; somehow they just work, they look good with any trousers I through at them; faded denim, khakis, dark color, light, color, loos-fit; tapered leg, it doesn't matter; there's a lack of proper inseam, when buying ordinary off the rack, casual wear; if the pants are a little long, or a little short (floods) these humble oxfords work somehow, I can not find an angle were they look awkward or boxy, quite frankly, these are the little black dress of my wardrobe. And when you wear a size 14M typically the shoe you were looking at in size 8 gets deformed... Freakishly, but not these.

I bought these shoes based on SAS's online reputation for quality shoes, and these were well-made, comfortable, and seemed to use quality materials. Howver, there was relatively little taper in the midsole, and these felt more like "old people" shoes than the Ecco shoes I'm trying to replace and had sort of a fat, chunky appearance that didn't seem fitting for something marketed as stylish or dressy. Some further looking suggests they're marketed to people with diabetes, who need orthotics, and the like, so their target market may simply not include me. I returned them, and kept looking for something to replace my Ecco shoes (that I still like, but aren't the same quality as they were years ago).

Soles are very soft and cushiony. However, they are so soft my left heel began to hurt immediately which does not happen with my current casual shoes. Insufficient arch support. Toe box is too shallow not allowing free up and down movement of the toes. Come to find out the leather is also not treated with any kind of water repellent. That's super lame. Charging for shipping on a $250+ pair of shoes doesn't seem reasonable either. Won't buy this particular shoe again. Maybe none at all. Easy return policy and courtesy shipping label was a plus.

I have worn the shoes 4-5 days a week, walking 1 mile to and from work each day. I think I enjoy them more each week, I certainly think they are comfortable and getting more so. I primarily wanted something comfortable, durable, that also looked nice for an office setting or professional conferences.

I like the shoes very much, but be warned. They squeak a lot on tile or marble surfaces for some reason even when dry so it could be annoying, but I’m still wearing them.

I bought this product because I developed a foot condition, called Charcot foot. Was prescribed an orthotic. This shoe can accommodate the orthotic and is very comfortable. I needed a dressier shoe than the trainer I originally got. Looks good and made in USA!

Shady has a very narrow foot. Hardly any shoe maker cares about that fact. Shady had to do with poorly fitting shoes for a long time. Then he found SAS. Not the military group but the shoe company. Shady now wears your shoes that fit comfortably and look good.Thank you SAS for caring about me.

I purchased Adens for work as working for the airlines we need to dress nice. I am on my feet in place all day and so far I have yet to find something that works well. These Adens are by far the most comfortable for my feet to date and I don't have any extra pain. My 2 biggest issues is the price of the shoe and durability. I have worn these for only 2 days now and already have a massive gouge dead center on the leather. It stands out and clearly shows these shoes are not durable. All of my other shoes that were 3/4 the price of Adens ($270) were much more durable. At $270 Aden shoes are an investment and should hold up. I was hopeful for these shoes, but this durability issue says the price tag isn't worth the shoe.

These shoes support your feet if you stand for long periods. Also, the arch support and being a laced shoe make you less likely to fall. Though middle-of-the-road in style, they are quality and have a long, useful life. If you wish to be kind, you could describe a person who wears these shoes as older with an understated elegance.

Fit and size are perfect. Quality excellent. Delivery very fast.
