SAS Shoes Response
10yYour feedback as an employee is very important to us. We value the opinions of employees like yourself, and take them into consideration as we move forward.
With an ever changing consumer market, we’ve had to make changes in the way we operate and how we market our products.
While many shoe companies have outsourced their production to third-party contract manufacturers, we at SAS stick firmly to keeping our production in our own factories in Del Rio and San Antonio, Texas. We own and operate a sister plant in Acuna, Mexico (directly across the border from Del Rio, TX) where specific operations such as hand sewing and hand stitching take place on a few of our styles. We also work with a multi-generational family-owned Italian shoe manufacturer that has helped us design and engineer a new line of stylish women's dress shoes and pumps. Some of those styles are made in Italy and some are made in our US-based facilities.
We at SAS also realize the need to stay on trend with our marketing strategies to stay successful in an increasingly competitive market. Those strategies vary across the nation and by region when and where they make sense.
As with any change, we try to keep our employees’ welfare top of mind and take all feedback under consideration.
