cmaD2006 Posted August 17, 2014 Posted August 17, 2014 SAS shoes are incredible. I've been hooked since I left the convent. Yes -- they do last a good while. I abuse mine too ... so I usually have to replace them at about the 3 year mark (maybe longer -- certain colors I don't use that often). And I just found out that since they're leather there are ways to deal with scuffing so that they don't look so bad. I only had one pair tear the entire time I've had them. They were the strange ones. I've been wearing SAS shoes since 2003, and the only other shoes I've been able to use that have not caused me issues are merrills and Wolky's (which are super duper expensive, except the one time I got them for !!!!! $45). I just looked them ... they're running about $155.

I kept remarking how comfortable her shoes looked and she decided to buy me a pair for school. I loved them! I loved that you could replace the insoles when they got worn out. They lasted me 3 years - MUCH longer than most shoes do. I was so glad when I got some more last year - sandals and fisherman shoes. :)
ToJesusMyHeart Posted August 17, 2014 Author Posted August 17, 2014 The mock shirts I bought from Haband are on back-order and wouldn't arrive in time for my entrance so I needed to pay for expedited shipping. Bummer, but gotta do what I gotta do. Just as a warning to anyone else out there who needs those shirts, I would suggest another company unless you're not in a hurry.

Not very helpful when you're entering in less than a month. :nono:
OnlySunshine Posted August 17, 2014 Posted August 17, 2014 I ordered the propet walkers. :) YAY! :clap:
ToJesusMyHeart Posted August 17, 2014 Author Posted August 17, 2014 Yeah i dunno why it's all out of stock. But the customer service people were really difficult to deal with so that didn't help my mood. Oh well, if it doesn't arrive in time the sisters said I can use some hand-me-downs until my shirts come in. I am excited about the shoes though. :)

das8949 Posted August 24, 2014 Posted August 24, 2014 I like those Haband ones, thanks a bunch! Who knew entering the convent was so expensive? What order are you entering?
nikita92 Posted August 25, 2014 Posted August 25, 2014 Sorry sister MC! I didn't see your post question until now.. I will get the names of a few of the insurances that are offered here in Washington! Depending on one's income.. Monthly payments can start as low as 30 something.. And go up from there!
SilentJoy Posted August 27, 2014 Posted August 27, 2014 When my friend was preparing to be a postulant in the Franciscan Sisters of the Renewal, she had to work in order to save up $6,000 in order to purchase health insurance for formation. :eek: When I was discerning with a Carmelite Monastery, I was asked to provide $2,000 to cover formation expenses (half of this was returnable if I left early), but they assured me that this wasn't a requirement for entrance since some applicants can't afford it.
