I'm a Clark sandal consumer, I have couple pairs. This one failed test! One shoe was faded and look worn. It looked as if it had been in water. Even the box was worn it came in. The shoes did not match! I love Clark sandals but I was disappointed ! I waited a while to get them only to be let down.. Color is a softer melon/coral color than burnt orange. Adjustable strap across top is a nice feature for my foot which is narrow and high instep but need wider space for my toes. The edges of the footbed are slightly raised which could be a problem for some if the shoe doesn't fit exactly. Clark shoes seem to run a bit large in my experience so I usually size down a half size for sandals so size 9 fits perfect for me. I really appreciate that Clarks offers wide width in their shoes which I usually order but the medium width in this shoe worked for me.*Editing my original review. (added review)-I want to add in to my original review that these shoes are moisture magnets and the moisture from the soles of your feet (my feet sweat minimally), this moisture gets trapped and after wearing for awhile, they were ruined as a result. I tried air drying them outdoors but, the problem persists. Then I got to thinking about my other two pairs of Clarks shoes I have (not sandals) and I experienced the same problem with them (I had forgotten about it until it happened with these sandals). Must be something with the material, as this only happens with my Clarks shoes. (1st review)-Beautiful sandals and very comfortable! I would highly recommend these sandals. The color is identical as shown. Hope they last a long time.Cute sandals, but my feet/toes were in pain after only a short wearing. No arch support, but even worse - the shoe actually curves concave, contrary to proper foot shape, putting pressure on metatarsal bones and heels. I ordered some stick in arch supports but not happy with those. I'm looking for a better arch support that can be discreetly added so I can wear these sandals. I wear a size 7.5 or 8 and this pair is an 8, fits well other than the support issue. I would recommend going to the larger size if you're not sure, at least half size up, as the heel has the lip around the back and would be uncomfortable if your heel is on that rim.These sandals are super comfortable. I tried on at the store first to make sure of the size. Usually wear a size 10 in regular shoes, but the 9.5 was a perfect fit for the sandals. The top strap is adjustable so they can be made looser or tighter depending on your foot. The bottoms feel like you are walking on air- very soft. I have issues heel pain when I wear shoes without proper arches. I took a 30 minute walk the first day I had these sandals and I felt no pain whatsoever. Highly recommend these sandals - great comfort and looks good with shorts or a skirt. Found the best price for these here on Amazon. Shipping took longer than expected, but worth the wait considering the price was $25 cheaper than I could find them elsewhere.I bought this sandal in black and taupe. My feet are a little wide--not wide enough for a large width (C) all the time but sometimes a little wide for a medium (B). The black pair fit perfectly but this pair was a little tight around the toes. If I could adjust the strap around the toe area they would be perfect. Saw the sandals on the internet and thought they were pretty cute but should have noticed they couldn't be adjusted -- my fault, not Clarks.I bought this thinking it looks cute. I'm 28 years old and wear a size 9 narrow fit. That's exactly what I ordered. Even though I got a narrow fit, it looks wide on my feet and not attractive or cute at all. No offence to anyone but it would more suit an older woman 50+. But aesthetic aside, the real issue with this slipper is that the size truly runs small. So order HALF size up. I ended up giving this to a friend of mine (50+ years) who wears an 8.5 and it fits her PERFECT and looks great in her feet.Don't be in a hurry if you're buying something from a Gold Box deal. Although this color was pictured with the $35 discount, they weren't discounted at all. Double check what you're doing before adding to your cart and don't be trying to jump in at the last minute because you just got the email back from your wife saying she liked them in brown. Anyway, the experience made me feel like I was shopping at the old bait and switch Sears. Haven't actually got the sandals yet so can't comment on that part of the deal so I will give it a nutral rating for now.
