Frequently Asked Questions
What is SAS triple-density cushioning?
SAS uses a three-layer cushioning system in their footbeds: a soft top layer that conforms to your foot for immediate comfort, a supportive middle layer that provides arch alignment and structural support, and a shock-absorbing base layer that protects your heels and joints from impact. This multi-density approach helps relieve plantar fasciitis, ball of foot pain, and general foot fatigue during extended wear.
Are SAS shoes made in the USA?
Yes. SAS (San Antonio Shoemakers) has been handcrafting shoes in San Antonio, Texas since 1976. Every pair is made in their Texas factory using a combination of hand-lasted construction and modern cushioning technology. This American manufacturing ensures consistent quality control — particularly important for customers with bunions, arthritis, and other conditions where fit precision matters.
Are SAS shoes covered by HSA or FSA?
SAS shoes are not pre-qualified for HSA/FSA coverage or Medicare because they are not A5500-coded therapeutic devices. However, if your doctor provides a Letter of Medical Necessity prescribing orthopedic footwear for a diagnosed condition like plantar fasciitis or arthritis, you may be able to submit for reimbursement. Check with your plan administrator for your plan's specific rules.
Do SAS shoes come in wide widths?
Yes. SAS offers multiple width options including Narrow, Medium, Wide, and Extra Wide on many styles. Their wide toe boxes are especially popular among customers with bunions, hammertoes, and Morton's neuroma who need extra room in the forefoot area without sacrificing heel fit.
How do SAS shoes compare to other American-made orthopedic brands?
SAS and Drew are the two premier American-made comfort shoe brands. SAS emphasizes hand-lasted construction and their proprietary triple-density cushioning, with a strong focus on casual and walking styles at $137-$227. Drew focuses on Medicare-certified therapeutic footwear with A5500 coding and wider width options (up to 6E) at $170-$340. SAS excels for everyday comfort; Drew is the better choice if you need Medicare-coded footwear or extreme widths.
