A really great looking casual shoe. Really no arch support, but I knew this from previous purchases. Just buy some inserts if it's a problem. Overall a great looking casual shoe.

I love these shoes! They are sleek and simple. You can wear them with just about anything. I haven't had any problems, as far as, the way they fight or feel on my feet.

Bought these shoes for my husband. These are his 2nd pair of Shihans and he as well as myself loves the look, style and comfort of these shoes.

Really enjoy these shoes. I'm wearing them right now! They took a little while to loosen up in the toe area - they were a little tight at first and pinched a little when pushing off. But after a couple weeks of wear they've broken in nicely. Best part was the Zappos shipping. Free upgrade and I got them less than 48 hours after ordering! Well done Zappos.

I like these shoes. I love Asics (especially their running shoes) and these don't disappoint. They look great and wear well. However, they are not as comfortable as most shoes... they are very hard with little to no cushioning. Also the heel tab rubbed me wrong for about the first two weeks to the point where I had blisters. It wasn't that the shoes were too big or small it just has no give whatsoever which is a bit of a pain. My only other complaint would be the Asics logo on the front toe.

This shoe is sharp looking but a little narrow. They are not bad, but maybe after I break them in they'll feel better. Zappos, however, is an awesome shopping experience! No "buts" here! Shoes the next day? You better believe it!

These shoes are awesome, they feel true to size. My left shoe did take a little longer to break in but after 3 wears they were perfect. I would recommend these shoes to anyone.

Just got mine and love them! I recently received mine. They look just as good as they do online, but better. They feel comfortable, but if you're flat-footed like me try not to wear these too much. Also, these shoes are very casual and stylish.

Picked these up after I found out the others I really wanted were out of stock. I'm glad I got these; I can't imagine I'd be any happier with anything else. I wear these primarily with darker jeans, they look great with t-shirts, polos, and even an untucked button down for going out. They fit true to size, and broke in pretty quickly. They're so light, they're very comfortable. Highly recommend.

Still get compliments. I've had these shoes for a year now. As dirty and worn out as they are now, I still get compliments. They go great with jeans or shorts. My feet are a wide, for some reason (I don't remember why) I ordered half a size up and they fit great. They get a 4 because they aren't the best shoes to do lots of walking or running in. At least not for me. I think it lacks some arch support. But slip in some foot orthotics and I'm sure you'll be great. If you want something to fit perfectly, like walking on a mountain of clouds all day type of comfortable try the Asics Stormer in white.

I ordered these a few weeks ago. This is my first pair of Clarks shoes. Wow! Love them. I was surprised. Very comfortable right out of the box. No \'break-in\' needed.

Awesome! I love this sandal! Though it felt larger than expected, it is comfortable all day. My heels don't ache and I can walk miles in this shoe! My only complaint would be the light color of the insole. It discolors rather quickly and it looks dirty. A darker color would help that.

Best travel walking shoe ever. I love this shoe! Can't say enough about it . I usually take a 7W but had to size down to a 6 1/2 wide. When I received Clarks Brandi it was 3 days before I left on a month trip to the Middle East. At first these shoes were a little sung, but decided to wear them on a 10 hour flight to London (my feet don't swell as much if I wear open toed shoes). Flew to Cairo Egypt the next day. Trekked all over the sands of the pyramids, to the Nile, wore them to Petra Jordan to Tel Aviv, then 8 days in London; these shoes really got a work out! They mold to your foot; my legs and feet hardly got tired with all that walking, climbing, bus riding, flying and riding the tube in London! I am 59 years old, overweight and had not exercised for this trip in advance. Sure I got tired, but not because of my feet. I was amazed as my feet and legs are usually the first to go. Just ordered my 2nd pair in any color they have in my size!

This is one of the most comfortable pairs of shoes I have ever owned. They are also very cute sandals. I got the bronze and may get another pair. I have a wide foot and like a soft cushioned shoe-I found comfort with these sandals.

These shoes are the greatest. Suede insole is great for sweaty feet. Color (pewter) is just plain fun and shiny. Walking is a pleasure on these clogs that have just enough support. I have 2 pairs of these shoes.

These shoes are the best. I bought them and wear them almost every day. I have plantar fasciitis and my heel feels very comfortable and I don't have pain in my feet at the end of the day. I highly recommend these shoes.

I love, love, love these shoes. They fit my wide feet perfectly and look great. I have gotten many compliments on them. They were comfortable from the moment I put them on. Too bad they don't come in white - I need white ones! As do many Clarks shoes, they run a bit large so order a half size smaller.

Very comfortable - These shoes are so very comfortable! I have had three foot surgeries so comfy shoes are a must for me and these have not given me any problems at all. I got them in the bronze and was not prepared for the true bronze look of them though- this color is very shiny.

I LOVE these shoes...I got the black and the bronze...and attempting to get another pair of black since I wear them so much. I get tons of compliments on these shoes....Clarks are the best! My feet never hurt when I wear their shoes. They are the only brand I ever buy! Great shoes!

These are wonderfully comfortable and cute to boot. I purchased them for a trip to Las Vegas and found them to be great to do all the walking. The suede footbed is nice. The silver is a great neutral and looks good with khaki and black - and that's tough to do!
