Style and comfort - I bought these shoes for a special event and had no time to break them in. Found out that they were comfortable from the first wearing and received many compliments from friends and family. I was very satisfied with this shoe purchase.

When working 8-14 hours a day in a high-end department store, some days COMFORT really matters. It's difficult to find comfortable, workhorse shoes that look stylish in a high fashion work environment. The style is ok, my husband thinks it’s a bit frumpy, but it is very comfortable.

Not comfortable - I wore these shoes yesterday for the first time and I had to cut my outing short because they gave me blisters. I never experienced this with any other Clarks shoes.

Great shoe - It's a very nice looking shoe that is also very comfortable - something you can wear all day without pain.

Feel Like I Am Walking on Air - I just love the Clarks Phyllis. This has to be the best fitting, best walking, average looking shoe I have ever purchased. I wish I could afford one in each color. Colleen

They felt comfortable all day. Were a little tight across the top of my feet, but has improved with use.

Clarks Phyllis - Overall, an excellent shoe! I normally wear a 7.5W or an 8M. However, I ordered a 7.5WW to see if I could find a pair of shoes that were comfortable without me having to take off my toe rings. I have found that shoe with these! Enough room in the toebox to wiggle my toes and avoid the dreaded 'hotspots', enough cushion in the insole to be comfy, a nice little extra cushioning for the ball of my foot, a little bit of a heel to be stylish, and enough 'give' in the leather to not pinch or constrict. At first, I thought these were a little matronly, probably due to the rounded toe and low heel. But with all the 'baby dolls' and 'mary janes' making a come back, this shoe fits right in! And after all, I'm not twenty something anymore! I'm pushing 50 and I've learned that if your feet aren't happy in the right shoes, it can pretty much ruin your day and make one very crabby! Would I buy these again? ABSOLUTELY! Granted, I won't be wearing these with a cocktail dress, but they are perfect for everyday, casual dress for work. And they do look a lot better 'up close and personal', than in the pic. Zappos is the BEST for shoe shopping!

Not as comfortable as other Clarks - Phyllis is a great looking shoe, it is just tight around the toes. I wear lots of different Clarks and this is the least comfortable of all of them. I wear a wide and ordered a wide, but this shoe wasn't wide enough.

These are very good looking shoes. Very feminine. I've received many compliments. I'm only 5’2”, so some shoes that have straps or details over the top of the foot can be very unbecoming. These have straps, but the cut of them still gives me a nice leg line. They fit very true to size, required no breaking in, and are great go-to shoes for every day use.

I love this shoe, but I had to return it. I normally wear a size 7 in Donald J Pliner, but this was just too snug across the toes and the thong piece cut into my second toe. I own two pairs of Vianna11 sandals by Donald J Pliner and size 7 fits perfectly. Not sure if I will order next size or not.
