WOW and double WOW for the Sunbeats
If I had these shoes made to order, they could not be any more comfortable. I first became aquainted with them up in Victoria, B.C. I was talking with a lady who had just walked all over Europe in them. She said how great her feet had held up in this one pair of shoes, which she had on, and she wore the whole time. Obviously, there is no breaking in of these shoes because she purchased them just before setting out for her trek across Europe. I was really interested in learning about them because I needed some with open toes to cater to my ingrown toenails. We made a special trip to Vancouver and I got the lace up ones in navy and some in black. I wore them every day, all day, for a number of years and for some strange reason, the soles (of the left one only) cracked apart. The buckle ones and the lace ones are just as great as each other. I did have the sole crack on a couple of pairs of those too, though, but only after other shoes would have been worn out all over. I have back problems and the Sunbeats have just the right height heel that does not throw me off balance and bother my back. I've had 10 pairs of them. When I can't get them in the color I want, I paint them with a special leather or fabric paint. Yes, yes, yes. 10 stars! PS, Obviously I found them here in Dallas, and under the name of 'Springers'. Thank you England for introducing them to us, here across the 'Pond'. We helped you out in WW2 and you helped us out sharing these wonderful shoes.

Go Sunbeat.
I have eight pairs (red, taupe, olive, black, tan, berry, navy and brown). I've walked all day in them and stood up for two-hour choral concerts in them. They hold up and feel great. They look OK with suits, skirts, and pantyhose, and pants and trouser socks. Not appropriate for dress-up, but hey....

I love the Clark Sunbeat sandals, although I had to go to Florida to buy them. They're the most comfortable sandals I have ever had. I really felt bad when the soles disintegrated recently (after 10 years). I have used three colors, and love them all.

Clarkes Sunbeat.
This is one of the most comfortable sandals I have ever owned. I come in my house from an outing and literally forget that I have them on. (I'm always bare foot in my house for comfort.)
I have the color of green, dark olive. (I) Wish I had one in every color. And (I) wish they made these in a more dressy style so I could wear them endlessly.

I would recommend buying one in each color available, otherwise you'll regret it later. And the price is worth it.

Best shoes I keep buying year after year.
I've been wearing this style for about 10 yrs. I wear the tan ones daily from May thru Sept to work with dresses, camping with shorts, with jeans...& whatever. (Don't recommend wearing them to sprinkle the garden, though; the insoles harden-up when you get them wet.) Daily wear means a new pair every 2 years. 'Sure am glad they've kept the tan color.
Both my mom and I wear them; the style seems ageless. (13-yr old daughter won't touch them, though.)

Clarks long wearing comfortable shoe.
I have been wearing this Clarks Sunbeat since 1987. I've owned all the different colors. I've never found a shoe that is so comfortable and long wearing than these. Within the last few years, they've started using Nubuck instead of smooth leather. I do not like the nubuck as well as the leather because on the nubuck the straps stretch too much before they wear out. I will be very happy when I can purchase the navy & black in smooth leather. Thank you.

Walk-n-comfort.
I had heel problems with low heel shoes because I have spent most of my life wearing low to med heel dress shoes for work. Now that I work at home, casual is the way to go. I tried Clark shoes and especially liked the Sunbeats. I have black, white, green and brown, in the leather and suede. I think they're great for walking and everyday living, caual or dress.

Most comfortable sandals I've ever owned!
I own 5 pair of these sandals and have been wearing them for at least 10 years. They are, by far, the most comfortable sandals I've ever owned. The adjustable straps result in a perfect fit. They are so comfortable I wear them to work in all day and they are dressy enough for evening wear.

Color bleeds -
I own this sandal in brown leather. I love it.
I also have the black nubuck. I hate them because the color bleeds onto my feet on a hot summer day. I've asked about this in several stores but no one seems to have a satisfactory answer. I've had the sandals for 2 seasons. The problem is no better even after spraying them as recommended.

Comfortable.
It is very comfortable, but it is not pretty! I
do not like the lining, but that seems to be the
only choice!

Love my Sunbeats.
I've been buying Clarks for at least 8 years.
I got my first pair on sale and got hooked!
I never found another pair at that low a price, but they're worth it. I buy three pairs a year in different colors. I usually alternate color.
These shoes lasted a long time! I have some Clarks from 8 years ago that I still wear!
I'm on my feet all day. When my feet swell my Sunbeat sandals are adjustable. No more carrying two or three pairs of shoes to work!
Happy feet-happy person!

Comfortable and good looks, but not durable.
I love the comfort and the looks. I can wear it to a wedding, out to the pub. But the soles seem to crack (underneath the balls of the feet) very easily.

Great comfort - miss those cool colours!
Clarks talk about their "Springer" line being engineered for walking comfort, and it really does seem to work. They're not the cutest sandals, but they make up for it in comfort. I have them in navy, red, black patent and yellow, and I wish I'd bought more colours while they were still available.

DISAPPOINTED -
I read so many good reviews about these sandals on this website, so I bought them before my trip to Orlando. I hated the look, and it pinches my right little toe. I have heel spurs and plantar fascitis so was really looking forward for comfortable shoes. They were no better than ordinary sandals, my feet continued to hurt. My feet felt much better in sneakers than these. And also they bleed, now I have these ugly marks of the straps on my feet. I just wanted to share how I felt, so BEWARE.

Disappointed in durability.
When I bought these sandals I absolutely fell in love with them for the extreme comfort. They're certainly not the most hip and cute sandal out there, but I suppose I have reached a point in my life where comfort is more important.
I've had my pair of sandals for 6 months now, and am extremely disappointed that the soles have suddenly cracked beyond repair. The left shoe is especially bad, the crack is at the ball of the foot and goes from one side of the shoe to the other. I can fold my shoe in half now, if I so chose. Looking at the right shoe, it is starting to do the same thing.
I'm facing a dilemma now of whether or not I want to purchase another pair - $60 is a lot to spend if the darn things only last 6 months!

Cracking sole but comfortable
I have about ten colors in this style. They are comfortable from the first wear. However, the soles just fall apart suddenly. To pay this much for a sandal and have the upper part look like new and the sole deteriorate is frustrating, especially since, as a person who had Polio, I find that are the best sandals for my feet in comfort and balance. There is a seriuous problem with durability.

Problem with cracking sole.
I have the white ones but also 2 pair of the British Tan Leather Sunbeat 2 #33025. My first pair I got about 3 years ago and then last summer I got another pair of the British Tan. I was walking through the Mall last night and heard my shoe making a noise but didn't check it out until I returned home and found there is 3 cracks
in the ball of the sole of the left shoe. One is 1" and the other two are 3/4" most of the way across the shoe. Then I checked the older pair and have cracks in the same place on the right shoe. I was wondering if there is anyplace I could send the shoes to have them checked out to get them replaced. For the cost of the shoes it seems like they should last over a year.

I like the shoe, just want it to last better.
