[edit] Products and availability

The company does not directly sell shoes over the Internet, but can be purchased at retail stores throughout Texas and the United States. One of their specialties is comfort shoes for seniors and other individuals with foot, ankle and lower leg problems.[3] SAS's primary American-made competitors in the comfort shoe market are: Bostonian, Clarks, Stride Rite and New Balance.[4]

The SAS Shoe Factory and General Store, located in San Antonio, offers a factory tour.[5]

[edit] Annual sponsored public walk

Like the company itself, SAS does not actively publicize its free, annual Siesta Valley Ranch walk on the company's working ranch in Medina, Texas, relying instead on word of mouth.[6]. First held in 1989, the Siesta Valley Ranch walk celebrated its twentieth year on October 10, 2009.[7]
