My husband, who is very picky with shoes, loves these. No break-in period. These shoes were comfortable at first wear. The sizing are similar to Born shoes because of the inner cushioning (1/2 size up from his normal 11). Great quality and worth every penny!

My husband is a commercial airline pilot. These are the perfect shoes for a man who needs stylish and practical shoes. He also wears them on his off days. He had intense foot pain for a year but that pain went away a few months after he began wearing SAS shoes. I bought the first pair in secret because he scoffed at the price. After wearing them for a year he now comes to me and asks me to order him a new pair when he is due.
We are now lifelong customers.

Amazed at how comfy these shoes were. Originally thought they mocha be a bit too chunky in the sole but they actually walk very smoothly. Very good looking shoe.

I bought them so long ago I can't remember. They last and last and are still very comfortable the first time you put them on.

These were an incredible buy. At first, I had reservations on the price when compared to similar styles from say Johnston & Murphy or Rockport. I was able to try both of these brands at the local PX (I'm a DoD civilian employee living overseas) and both of the brands felt cheap, poorly made, overly tight to slide on and lacking in arch support. So, I splurged on these US made SAS Diplomats. They are incredibly comfortable, easy to slide in to, and seem really well made. It is only my 2nd day of wear, but I'm extremely satisfied with the purchase so far. Two thumbs up, and I can't recommend them enough. I would buy a half a size bigger if you decided to treat yourself to a pair!
SAS - I look forward to buying another pair of Diplomats in a different color, which I am going to do right now!

Best business casual shoes I own. They feel like tennis shoes. I though I was too young for SAS but these shoes are great.

The absolute best business casual walking shoes. There are comfortable and supportive shoes and then there are the SAS Diplomats - these are on a different level. They are superbly comfortable and they form fit to your foot and walking style/pattern like no other shoe I've ever owned. I was under the impression that SAS were only for my Dad but these work great for a young business professional too. They are great for business casual but a bit too clunky for a suit in my opinion. I'm a fan of quality footwear and other favorite brands of mine are Allen Edmonds, Alden, Bally, Cole Haan, Red Wing and Wolverine 1000 mile boots. These SAS shoes are built to last and made in the USA of top quality materials. I go on a 2 mile walk over lunchtime and these shoes are so supportive and comfortable, I now choose to wear these over sneakers or any other footwear. Go ahead and buy these, you'll be happy you did. I have them in black and brown and both are made from a rich quality leather. Don't forget to use the included shoe horn and always use quality shoe trees to keep them fresh and in tip top shape. As always, Zappos delivers with the best service of any modern business in the world.

My husband loved them but he’s diabetic & shoe felt too narrow. It’s a shame because they’re really nice shoes!

Great looking shoe! SAS shoes are awesome for comfort and support, both men's and women's. Unfortunately, my husband couldn't get the right fit in the Diplomat - a 9.5 was too long and a 9 was too short. Disappointing. He loved the shoe.

For wide-width audience, the shoe causes blisters at the bottom and the sides of the feet so cushioning and leather shaping are problematic. I consider this a low quality brand, should be paying less than $ 75 for these SAS shoes. SAS needs better quality control if they want to charge premium shoe prices!

I bought my first pair of Diplomats after having almost worn out a pair of older vented similar less expensive SAS slip-ons. I had worn that first pair for about five years before the uppers began to look bad and I wore them another two years working around inside my yard at home before they started coming apart. Considering what I had exposed them to, I wanted another pair and bought the more expensive Diplomat in 2011 or 2012. I wore the Diplomats over this period of years only as dress shoes until about 2018. They still looked good inside and out but had accumulated a few scratches and creases over the years, so I started wearing them as daily shoes around the house and while doing chores in the yard. They are still comfortable and serviceable and are good work shoes for around my home now in 2025. I like them so well, and they rival my best Red Wing work shoes for wear, I decided to buy a new pair for dress this month. With proper shoe care these shoes just last and last. They are all leather lined, soft, and great for my diabetic foot problems.

Daily shoes for me. This is the 2nd pair. The first pair lasted 6 years, and they're still good, just the heel is a little worn. Highly recommend.

I have one pair that won't die - well over 10 years old. I'm getting a second. With numerous foot issues, I have tried many dollars worth of different types of shoes. These have simple but decent style to wear for professional / dress or casual dress and they are THE most comfortable shoes I've had without a doubt. Excellent quality. Bravo SAS!

The shoe is both comfortable and durable. It has lasted me many years with no problems. I have this in brown. I fix leather cuff spots using Redwing boot polish in dusky brown.

I use orthotic inserts so I throw the insert away that comes in the shoe and put my orthotic in there and my feet feel better in the shoes then they do barefooted. It's unusual to have a shoe that feels better to put it on then to to take it off

The shoe is well made and good-looking. My husband normally a 11.5 but had to go up to a 12 for a proper fit.

I have several pairs of SAS shoes. I have flat feet, and these are the most comfortable shoes I have ever owned. I know they are expensive, but they are worth every penny.
