Are your feet bigger in the P.M.?
Just right for folks who have larger feet by 5:00 in the afternoon than they did in the morning. Adjustments allow for a great fit all day. Even without socks, they required no break-in time from the very beginning. If you wear socks with sandals around here, you're socially penalized, so sockless comfort matters. Soft finished sturdy leather makes all the difference and they look decent enough.

The comfort and versatility can't be beat!
For those interested in comparing the Lucena and Saratosa in pewter metallic, the Lucena is slightly lighter in color, with an almost bronze tinge. Like others have mentioned, I also experienced my heel slipping off to the side, but only in the Lucena. I had no heel slippage in the Saratosa at all because I was able to secure my heel with the 3rd Velcro strap that adjusts the distance around the back of the foot. The Lucena has no such adjustment; its 2nd Velcro strap adjusts mostly the front straps only. I thought the Lucena looked more stylish than the Sarasota in terms of design. However, the front ankle strap on the Lucena was higher on the leg which felt slightly less comfortable. The Sarasota also provides protection to the sides of the foot on either side, but the Lucena is more open. I finally decided to keep the Saratosa because I wanted the heel stability, and my wide foot looks slimmer in it than in the Lucena. The leather straps on both are just heavenly, and both sandals are wonderfully comfortable right out of the box!

Stylish and Comfortable -
I love, love these sandals. If you are wondering how anyone can be in love with a sandal?--It is because I have a narrow foot, usually sacrifice style for comfort but not with this sandal. I can walk all day and my feet do not hurt. They fit perfectly. I receive many compliments on this style, love the strap across the front, it helps with the comfort of the shoe. If my size was available I would buy one in a couple more colors. Thank you Zappos for your immediate shipping and carrying narrow width sandals and shoes.

Comfort if it fits -
I love the feel and look of these -- a little more stylish than ordinary sport sandals. They felt cushy and comfortable from the moment I put them on with only one exception. Because my feet are slightly different in size, the heel strap on one shoe didn't adjust enough to give a snug fit and I reluctantly returned them. This would definitely not apply to most people.

Hurts a bit -
Clarks - yes sometimes you can go wrong. I bought these elsewhere for the color (Zappos didn't have blue in my size); they were fine until I wore them all day, sans nylons. The underside of the front velcro closure has a sort of open seam, which has given me a serious blister. With nylons they're OK, but otherwise I'm going to have to wear a bandage when I wear them without anything on my foot. Otherwise, they are lovely, and comfortable.

I've always had a hard time finding a shoe that will fit my small, narrow, with a high arch size 6 feet and then I started wearing Clarks. Fortunately, their size 6 fits me so well that I can order them online and not have to worry.

You can't go wrong with Clarks -
I am very happy with this sandal. I was thankful for the previous reviews in helping me decide. I was, therefore, not surprised regarding the lack of arch support. I easily solved that problem by going to a drug store and buying a nifty little silicone arch support that is sticky on the bottom allowing you to place it where you need it. The sandal is perfect in every other way. I was thrilled to death with the awesomely fast service that Zappos provided - I placed my order on a Sat. afternoon and it was delivered Mon. afternoon. Unbelievable!!!

With three velcro straps, this shoe can be made to completely fit any foot. The heel also has added comfort with the flexible pad. Most comfortable sandal I have.

I have difficulty finding a shoe that is wide enough, comfortable, and with room to expand on days that my feet are swollen.

Clarks Sarasota’s are a great basic shoe!
This shoe is perfect for me- I wear a size 12 medium and am looking for comfort above all, plus something that doesn't call attention to my feet! The beige colour elongates the leg and the small heel is right for me at my age-63-no more stilettos, unfortunately. I also appreciate the velcro closures which make the shoe widely adjustable. The Clarks last seems to fit me better than any other and this is just one of their line which I own-I ordered a couple of pairs of New Balance walking shoes in the exact same size and could hardly jam my toes in. They may not be the most "stylish" shoe in the world but they suit me perfectly and I look forward to wearing them for some time- they won't go out of "style". And thanks, Zappos, for your incomparable service...

Dressier comfort sandal -
I bought the navy version of this shoe in 11 narrow and found it so comfortable that I ordered a second pair in black. It is far less clunky looking than other Clarks that I have ordered with the three adjustable straps for the heel, ankle, and toes that I need to accommodate securely my narrow, mismatched feet with a developing bunion. Even in the narrow, the heel strap could not be pulled in quite enough to fit securely, but the fit is better than most. I am a school librarian, on my feet all day. These looked a bit dressier with skirts than the Sunbeat.

Sarasotas make my injured feet sing -
Comfortable even for my injured feet, strappy style adds appeal without the strain of a high heel. Wish they came in summer white.

Too large -
Wish I could have worn this shoe because the pewter color seems very versatile for the summer. I have had no trouble in the past ordering a size 5 from Clarks and having them fit; however, these were too large. The heel strap is particularly loose, and it is not adjustable. Too bad.

Sarasota by Clarks -
Clarks needs to make shoes in the 3AAA width! I made these work for me by putting extra padding and arch support in them. The 2 AA was too wide for my super narrow feet. They were very comfortable to wear and like how they look on my feet. I have one other pair of Clarks sandals and they covered the top of my foot more and they were narrow enough. I also felt like I could have went with a 1/2 size shorter shoe than what I ordered.

I love these shoes. I have knee problems and have found that this type of shoe and heel height is the best for me. This pair is a little more of a dress shoe than some of the comfort shoes.

It's good for casual wearing and only for a short time. Too long in this shoe and it starts to hurt. I was hoping for something a little more comfortable.

Classy sandal -
This dressy style has much going for it. It is nice-looking, not chunky like some sandals, made of quality leather, has good arch support and about 1 inch heels. All three straps are adjustable with hook and loop closures (the one across the toe area has elastic under it and so doesn't allow for much change). I have a high arch, thick foot and the straps were long enough for my feet. It is pricey, but well made. The insole is very comfortable and cushioned, especially under the heel. I purchased the brown color.

Very nice, casual shoe -
I walk a mile to and from work, and these have been perfectly comfortable - this is my third day wearing. Three adjustment points on this shoe make all the difference when feet swell in the heat. They are very pretty with pants & capris. I personally wouldn't wear them with a skirt/dress. The gel heel felt like a lump when I first put them on, but that went away immediately. The only minus is a small one - they make a little popping noise when I walk, audible only to me, most likely. I'm thinking this is going away with wear.

Pure comfort -
After many years of wearing heels, my feet are tired and need TLC. This is the only shoe I have found, this year, that doesn't need break-in time. I wish the maker would give them a younger look but leave all the velcro attachments for instant adjustments on those long airport and traveling ventures.

I bought these shoes for my mother who always thought that new shoes have to be "broken in" with pain and blisters. Was she surprised! The new Clarks have all the width options, and even in XW that look good.

Attractive Shoes -
I think these shoes are very nice - fit is to a "T" The look is great. The problem I have is that I have Plantar Fasciitis and right now the shoes are not as comfortable as I would like. I am sure without my problem - I could walk in them without a problem.

No break in time -
I have very problem feet and I am extremely carful not to aggravate the problem. I wore my new shoes on a night we were having a few friends over and I knew I could change them if they began to hurt. By the end of the evening I realized I didn't have to break them in, I didn't even realize I had them on they were so comfortable. That is a plus for me.
