Very cute shoe for my 5 year old. Versatile enough for him to wear with jeans or casual pants.

My 5-year old son loves these shoes and wants to wear them every day! They are comfortable, fit him perfectly, and he has had no complaints. He got the multi-colored ones...very cool looking!

Great shoes! My kids have worn vans shoes for years and I feel that they run a little big, but I was prepared and ordered them accordingly. I ordered them at 6 in the evening and received them the next morning! I absolutely love Zappos!

Our grandson loved this shoe! Great style -- runs a little larger than other shoes -- "cool" but not too way out there. His brothers and sisters all want them now, too!

I bought these shoes for my husband and they go great with a business casual look with black pants and also they work great with jeans. He has wide feet so we ordered the wide sizing and they fit very well. Per my husband they are super comfortable and he is on his feet most of the day. These are his new fav shoes!

I pinched a nerve in my knee, and as a side effect, my foot tingles and hurts with the slightest pressure. The Doctor recommended trying some wide sized shoes. Without lots of cash to toss around, I really did my homework before buying the Clarks and now couldn't be happier: my foot doesn't tingle or hurt when walking! My feet aren't really a size 'wide', so wearing my thicker socks is a must, but no big deal at all. Was sad having to put away the Doc Martens, but thankfully these Clarks look pretty cool and they truly are comfortable. Will definitely be buying Clarks again.

Very stylish, appropriate for business and casual wear, and extremely comfortable even in a wide size. One of the few brands outside of Rockport that sell wide shoes that fit my feet, so I'll be looking for more from Clarks in the future.

I purchased the Clarke Waves' based on others reviews and they are a terrific shoe. They are so comfortable. I was always getting a cramp in my foot and since I've bought they it was gone away. They are great shoes and I will buy again when they wear out. A plus is that I can wear them for work (standing a lot) and casual. They are just perfect!

Bought this for boyfriend; he loves it. I agree with previous reviewer that said this shoe isn't the most attractive out there, but it's a winner when it comes to comfort. He tried on a few other styles at a Clark store in the same size (13R) but they ran a bit tight in width. B&M store didn't have his size in stock in this style so of course we went to Zappos. These were a better fit. Ready to wear right out of the box. I think the synthetic insole had off-gassed as everything in the shoe box had a strong chemical odor. Hopefully Clarks can find a more enviro-friendly material for the insole in the future. Once again a pleasure to shop with Zappos.

Extraordinarily comfortable; great value for the price. I have a 'wide' foot and often have trouble finding shoes that are comfortable--these are fantastic! I am on my feet all day and wear these at work. Shoes do 'wear out' a bit sooner (had to replace them after 1 year), than those more expensively priced.
