Quality Fit and Fashion at SAS Shoes & Route 5 Boots and Shoes
By Madeleine Kates
SAS Shoes & Route 5 Boots and Shoes is the kind of shoe store you remember growing up with. The store carries quality products, and has a team of experienced shoe professionals who help match the right shoe with the right need. With an emphasis on quality, comfort, and stability, it is no wonder that SAS Shoes & Route 5 Boots and Shoes has been Western New York’s destination shoe store for nearly 20 years.
There is a difference in the shoe buying experience when you receive a proper fitting by an expert whose goal is to provide each customer with quality shoes designed for their unique need, size, width, occasion, or even the weather. One of the store’s main brands, and the source of its name, comes from the company’s name brand, which is American-made in San Antonio, Texas using traditional shoe-making techniques and quality standards.
Customers are assessed using a system that measures, not only their foot size, but also factors such as gait, alignment, arch, and whether inserts are necessary. This process is especially helpful for those working in highly active jobs where they are on their feet for the majority of their workday.
For those working at home, having a shoe fit correctly is just as important. “Going barefoot is one of the worst things you can do for your feet,” says assistant manager Paul Grandstaff, who has an extensive background in foot health and orthopedics. “We’ve helped many customers who have developed foot problems over the last three years due to a lack of structure and support, as a result of spending their workday in their stocking feet,” says Grandstaff.
There are a variety of styles available at SAS Shoes & Route 5 Boots and Shoes. Whether someone is looking for fashion-forward shoes, all-terrain footwear, or shoes designed for endurance and support for those working long hours, every customer will find options to accommodate the health of their feet, as well as their desire to be fashionable. They have recognizable brands and new ones you’ll be pleased to discover.
There is still plenty of winter weather ahead, and SAS Shoes & Route 5 Boots and Shoes has a great collection of winter-ready footwear. In addition to keeping your feet warm and dry, some of the brands available include extra protection such as ice teeth for gripping slippery surfaces.
