Customer Reviews Clarks Ashland Spin Q

These shoes were a great purchase for me. They were comfortable right out of the box and fit true to size. I wear an 8.5 D but often have to buy a 9 or 9.5 B because a wide width is not available. However, these came in D widths and the 8.5 D fit perfectly; lots of toe wiggle room. After wearing them around home and on short walks for a few days to try them out, I risked suitcase space and took them with me on a 3-week vacation that involved a lot of all-day walking on cobbled streets. Learning from past experience, I switched daily between the Clarks and another pair of older shoes, but the Ashland Spin Q pair served me very well. They were versatile enough in style to wear with either pants or skirts, my feet stayed reasonably cool on hot days, and they were flexible, comfortable, and durable. The last few days of the trip, when my feet were getting pretty tender and a bit swollen, one spot on one of my little toes did start rubbing on a seam that normally my toes don't touch, but by then even my other pair of memory foam shoes were bothering me as well. Now that I'm home and rested, it's no longer a problem again and I'm thinking I need another pair in a different color. :)

Good fit, but I didn't like the light colored stitching. Polished them with shoe paste to cover up stitching- think they look way better.

So I ordered 5 pairs of shoes since I have a new teaching job and the dress code for teachers doesn’t allow open toed sandals (which is what I wear practically year round in CO.). I have very hard-to-fit feet...a really high arch which makes many shoes too tight across the top of my foot. I also need good support in the sole. I read the reviews carefully to see how I should adjust the size and width...I normally wear a size 9, but sometimes a 9.5 feels better. I’m normally a medium width as well. Of the 5 pairs I ordered, these were the ones that instantly felt very comfortable. I ordered these in a 9 wide since reviews seemed to say they run a bit narrow. I’m glad I bought the wide because there is just enough room for it to not squeeze the top of my foot. The toe box fits very comfortably (I really can’t stand cramped toes). The shoes look very fashionable and professional. I’m very happy with my purchase! They were also on sale which is another plus. I’m so thankful for Zappos being willing to ship out 5 pairs and to ship back 4 pair for free. Sometimes I’ve ordered 5 pairs and kept all 5...but I knew my feet would be finicky with finding an enclosed shoe that will work for my new job.

These remarkable shoes are so comfortable - right out of the box. Due to bunions I require a wide shoe with a full toe box and these shoes are just right and look good too.

Love love love. I was looking for an option to flip flops. I’ve never been one for this style of shoe, but I am digging these. Tall, wide toe box. May take a minute of breaking in where the shoe hits near the ankle, but I think they’ll prove comfy. Am wait-listed for a black pair to wear in flight, as I am a female flight attendant with a Size 12 foot who is always in search of comfy shoes to wear on my 10-hour flights. .

I bought these shoes today in dark navy, which almost looks black. I plan to wear them with black, navy or grey clothes. I tried on several Clark shoes in similar styles. Usually I wear an 8 1/2 but these shoes I bought in an 8 and they fit me to a T. They are even comfy without my orthodic inserts. I put my orthodics in them with out removing the inside of the shoe. They fit but were snug. I am going to try wearing them to work as is with out the orthodic. I will caution you , even though these Clarks ran only a half size larger the other Clark shoes in similar styles ran an entire size larger.

I originally bought a size 9W (which is what I usually wear), but had to exchange for an 8W. They are super comfortable and great for work. I like the adjustable strap across the top (it's velcro) because it can provide a little extra room if your feet are swollen. I'd recommend these shoes.

They look great and feel great except they are too big. I’ll return these and try a medium instead of wide which in some shoes I wear. Of course Zappos is the best so I can try again.

I was excited when I opened the box -- these shoes are ssoooo cute!! I had a little break-in period, but now they are very comfortable and seem to be true to size. At first, I felt a little extra pressure in the toe box, but that seems to be fine now.

I absolutely love these shoes. I have really flat feet and have to be able to put orthotics in my shoes. There are not many shoes that will accomodate them but they fit in these just perfectly in an extra-wide width. My new puppy chewed up the strap on one of them while I was at work and I was devastated when I tried to order a replacement and they were out of stock. Zappos emailed me when they were back in stock and I grabbed it right away! I love Zappos and I love these shoes!

I always order my shoes from Zappo. This pair is just like the rest. Very comfortable and cute also. You have the best prices and selection of Clarks. I love your return policy. Very easy to deal with.Thanks for a good experience overall.

I have been eyeing these for several years and finally found them on Zappos. I love the style and the can be dressed up or down depending on the event. The only reason a gave them a 3 star on comfort is due to the moderate arch support.

So disappointed! They are really nice sandals and I am a standard 8 wide but they are at least 1/2 size small and way too narrow. I double checked to make sure I had the right size.

I already own Clarks Ashland Lily, so I knew these would be a perfect fit. I used British Tan shoe polish to tone down the obnoxious white topstitching. (Shoe companies: stop doing that!)

Length and width wise the shoes fit great! They are very comfortable. I've worn them all day already a few times, and they work awesome for support and comfort. I was looking for a comfortable, cute dress shoe and these are perfect. My only note is when I first got them, they were a little tight on the tops of my feet. I wore them around with thick socks though for about a day and they stretched out just right. Very pleased with this purchase.

I usually wear 9.5 W in Clark’s but I needed to return those and get 9.5WW. I think it’s probably because I always live in sandals (if not barefoot or slippers) but I needed enclosed shoes for some winter trips I’ll be taking. The wide pair fit, but wasn’t as comfortable as the double wide. These look great and will be perfect for sightseeing. And kudos to Zappos for making the return so easy — and free!

Very pleased. I wanted shoes I could do a lot of walking in that also looked good. These were perfect. I didn’t even have to break them in.

The shoe felt true to size and width with plenty of toe room. The shoe height allows for the insertion of orthotics. Adjustable strap helps in making shoe fit comfortably. Have the shoe in several colors.

These are my new go-to everyday shoes, replacing a much-loved pair of Clark's unPoem? that I bought about 10 years ago. They work well with my hand knitted socks or tights, and they go with just about everything I wear (pants, jeans, leggings). They are dressy enough for the places I go - church, out to dinner, an occasional party. I like the fact that I can adjust the strap easily.

I would love these if they had good arch support!

Fits like a glove, comfy right out of the box. For my feet, arch support is great. They are Clarks, shoes I’ve bought many times, never a disappointment, always a size 7. Leather uppers. You can’t go wrong.

A very comfortable shoe. The 8 wide was too large so I returned them for the 7 1/2 wide and they fit perfectly. I may order another color! Thank you for all your help!

I wear a closed toe sandal in winter to accommodate the fleecy tights I wear for warmth. I have worn Clarks in the past and was happy with the width and roomy toe box. These shoes have the same good width and toe box room, but a less arch support than I prefer. The sole also feels stiffer than I prefer, but that may improve with wearing. I will be keeping them and I will add an orthotic for arch support if needed. The style is lovely for this type of shoe. I also bought a similar style of shoe by Alegria to compare. For those who might also want a comparison I am enclosing a picture of side by side. I will be posting a review of the Alegria Traq on the page for that shoe.

I have found the Clarks of today are made with very thick, unyielding leather. With this style the welting is poorly padded on the inside and rubs my foot in many places. This will be my last attempt to buy Clarks. Very disappointed.

I ordered a wide width because I have bunions and wider feet. The forefoot felt fine but I was walking out of the back of the shoe even though the shoes was not too long. It is sloppy in the heel even with thicker socks. I could also feel my ankle collapsing inward since the shoe seems to rock that way. I liked the style of the shoes but they are not going to work for me since the shoe has zero support for walking.
