These shoes are very comfortable and they look great. I have a narrow foot, and the strap with the velcro is very helpful to get a good fit. I did have to put an additional insole in the shoe (under the shoe's insole) to get the perfect fit.

I love my new Clarks Showstoppers. I bought the brown in a wide width and they are so comfortable I hardly know I'm wearing shoes! I have several pair of Clarks and they never disappoint but these are my favorites. Zappos delivered in no time!

New Go-To Shoe for Business. I wanted a shoe that was comfortable, stylish for everyday business, and did I mention comfortable? I also have a wide foot, which limits my options. But Clarks has come through for me in the past, and it didn't fail this time. The shoe is easy to slip into, fastens quickly with velcro-bottomed straps, and was incredibly comfortable from day 1. It also looks great. I highly recommend it; was worth every dime.

These shoes are just okay. Clarks shoes are what I mostly wear. Somehow Showstoppers don't look as cute as the photo. I was hoping they would replace some Rockports I had that were a similar style, but they aren't as comfortable. They seem wide. I kept them, but I wouldn't order this shoe again.

Extremely comfortable right out of box. Removable insert could be replaced with my plantar fasciitis inserts and still very comfortable!

I absolutely love these shoes! They are comfortable, good-looking and fit perfectly. I get lots and lots of compliments when I wear them. I have had 3 back surgeries and now have nerve damage in my right leg, which sometimes makes walking frightening as I lose my balance easily. Instead of having to wear the tennis shoes that absorbed the vibration to my back, I can wear these darling shoes all day and feel great as they absorb shock and vibrations so well. I really can't say enough how great these shoes are.

I was determined to buy only comfortable shoes so I ordered a few to try and fell in love with Clarks Showstopper! It is as good as wearing sneakers, but thanks to the funky straps, it looks kind of like a low boot.

So happy with this shoe. I've become so used to mules/clogs that I almost didn't order this shoe. So glad I did! They fit perfectly and are extremely comfortable (worked in them all day long the first day I got them). I ordered the wide and was worried that the heel would slip on and off, but they fit like a glove. Good support (yet still a soft shoe) and I like the strap closure, which I can tighten up a bit if they end up stretching. They look great with jeans (too mannish to wear with skirts). I got the brown and like it; black seemed a bit severe. Wish they came in other colors and maybe a pebbly leather. I'd probably buy every color.

Wish it came in navy. Really love this shoe. Wore for 14 hours the first time put them on. 1/4 inch lower heel than usually wear, but no cramps afterwards.

Clarks are always comfortable, but these are the most cushy I've ever put on. Wonderful from the git-go! I can wear them all day with no foot fatigue.

These shoes are amazingly comfortable. They feel as good as tennis shoes right out of the box. I plan to wear them with long casual pants and would say they may look too clunky with dresses or slacks which show your ankle. But if it\'s comfort you are looking for, these are great shoes!

This shoe is so cute! I ordered Wide, which is what I usually wear, and the heel is really wide. Unfortunately, I have to return it.\r\n

Love these shoes! I wear a size 11 narrow & have often had to return "narrow" shoes because they are too wide. Clarks make shoes that always fit me perfectly and are sooo comfortable. The fast shipment from Zappos makes online shopping a real pleasure. Every shipment has been lightning fast!

Great pant shoe for my size 12M foot, with flattering lines. Some Clarks’ size 12 are large on me, but with the securing strap up high on my foot and narrower toe, these are VERY comfortable. Although the arch is pretty good, I still need to add extra arch support for my needy feet, and the velcro strap is plenty long to allow the extra space inside. My only complaint would really be that the strap is far too long, but I think that’s due to my flat foot. High-arch women should be happy! I was a bit concerned about the shoe looking too masculine (I got black), but the nicely refined toe shape and almost-low-boot look serve to make it a very nice basic comfortable office shoe, with interesting lines. Clarks wins out again!

Great shoes. One thing about Clarks, you can start wearing them the day they arrive. No breaking them in. Width and size is true to form. Zappos is a great company. My only source of shoe shopping. Thanks.
Other Brands Recommended by Reviewer: Clarks probably beat all shoes for comfort.

Reviewer: Trish a from Virginia

These are very comfortable, but just a little more flexible than I'd like. They provide great arch support and cushioning. If you have a wide foot, definitely order the wide width. They seem to run a little narrow. In terms of looks, they're very stylish to wear with pants. They actually slim your foot, but I don't think I'd like them with skirts. These shoes are well made and look more expensive than they are. The dark brown is actually dark enough to wear with espresso pants.

I love my Clarks Showstopper shoes. Sometimes my feet swell if I\'ve been on them too long. These shoes are great because I can adjust the velcro strap easily throughout the day as needed. \r\n\r\nThe shoes look good and are really comfortable.

My husband says these look like 'old lady' shoes, but I think they look really stylish. I really wanted them to fit and feel good on my feet, but they are too wide. I have been wearing a wide shoe in tennis shoes, but don't have any in dress shoes. Apparently the two types of shoes have different fit characteristics. Anyway, I've had to return them, and will have my feet fit for proper shoes size before ordering more so I, hopefully, won't have to return another pair! I rated them a 4 for comfort only because of the fit.

I'm not much of a shoe-shopper (or shopper in general) because I can never find anything that fits well at department stores. This was my first time using Zappos, and in my first order I got these shoes. OMG! They were SOOO comfortable I wore them in the house all day. I have hammer toe in my left foot, and would rather go barefoot than wear shoes, with the exception of these shoes! I teach science all day and these are SOOO comfortable and versatile! I'm sold on Clark's! After trying on my brown pair, I immediately ordered the black, and would order navy if they had them. I can't say enough about these comfortable and good-looking shoes!

Best walking shoe in 64 years! I'm not given to exaggeration. This is actually the most comfortable, supportive shoe I have ever found for my often painful 64 year old feet. Innersole is removable to allow orthotics, but is actually more comfortable than my orthotics so I am wearing as they came. The feel is soft and bouncy; I actually have a spring to my step when wearing these. Much more attractive than athletics or orthopedic-style walkers. They have a sporty look, rather like a low boot. I just ordered another pair in dark brown; If Clark's would make them in a natural or tan leather I would get those as well.
