Customer Reviews Clarks Sunbeat

Clarks sunbeats - I like these pink sandals with reservations. They are stable and were fine on a 2 mile walk. However, the inside straps were scratching my skin so I adhered some thin moleskins to the underside of the strap to make them more comfortable. There's a nice lining on the back heel strap that is not on the rest of the sandal. Why? They should line the entire straps with something smooth and just charge a few dollars more. Then, they would be worth the money. I think these would be better sandals if they had a lining throughout. Though they are fine with moleskins, I'm only giving 2 stars for comfort because I shouldn't have to pad them.

OK sandal - This sandal is OK but not great. The straps are very rough. I'm wearing it but only until I find a sandal with softer straps and/or better strap padding. Very "little old lady" looking but good for wide feet.

Summer sandals - These sandals are very light and fit well over my feet because of the ability to customize with the straps. This makes them easy to adjust and fit around my bunion. My biggest disappointment is that they are so very flat. I probably will not use them for walking which was what I had hoped to do. I wish they had a decent footbed for arch support. I am very delighted and impressed with the prompt and courteous service of Zappos and will be buying from you again.

A little disappointed - I have always had a pleasant experience with Clark's Sunbeat shoes. However, I was somewhat disappointed with this last pair. The right shoe felt tighter than the left one and it bunches up my socks. This is not Zappos' fault, however, but the maker. Zappos service is great and they have a very quick delivery

Not what they used to be!! I truly wish people would learn that those of us who purchase this product are not looking for bargains. For bargains, I could go to Walmart! No, we are looking for comfort, appearance and durability. But COMFORT IS OF PRIME IMPORTANCE. I believe the price of about $65.00 is the same I paid for the pair I bought 15 years ago. That surprised me as I certainly expected a higher price. That should have tipped me off. No, the shoe is not what it used to be. It fits OK, but I find it needs "breaking in". The leather upper is not as soft, rather stiff actually. The sole is definitely not nearly as springy (I have a bad back!) and that is a real disappointment. The strap behind the heel, the sling-back, is no longer adjustable. If you have a small heel, the strap is too loose, and that is not comfortable. I am sorry I do not have a better review, but you asked for the truth. I would glady pay $95.00 for the shoe, even up to $125.00, willingly and happily, if I could have the quality I had before. Sincerely, Barbara N.

Soles - I love the shoe and its comfort, but the soles have to be reglued on every pair I have bought for the last 2 or 3 years.

Poor quality leather - I have been wearing "sunbeat" for years the quality of the leather has declined. It is no longer a quality leather... I almost thought Zappos had "Clark" make a lesser quality to increase profits on the classic style...I am hoping when I find these is a retail store they will be the same inferior leather.

I fell down on the senior retirement homes' dining room carpet this afternoon. The old-style pebbly soles didn't have this problem, but the newer 2-swirl style with oval indented lines on sole and heel have smooth rubber at the toe tips. This is dangerous, and I have almost fallen several times. The newest pair goes into the garbage, and since the current Sunbeat models all have this problem that means I can't buy any more of them, though I have used them for years.

I bought a shoe very similar in looks in Europe - the only difference being the sling-back, which on mine is adjustable. I have a very narrow heel and when I adjust to it my whole foot slides forward. So the problem is the fit on the heel. Otherwise I'm sure it would be fine. I wore Clarks shoes 55 yrs ago in the UK, but then I didn't have to be fussy about comfort.

Ok, but not great - Not nearly as comfortable as lookalike brand SAS. Price is more reasonable. Would probably not purchase again because even though SAS is $25 higher in price the comfort was worth it

The back strap is not adjustable; therefore, it pushes your foot forward, leaving 3/4 of an inch in the back. Did not like. Would not recommend this shoe.

Sunbeat - I owned several pairs of these sandals and have worn this shoe for over 15 years. Last year I replaced several pairs because they were worn out. Although I still wear them in the garden. The month of July I had 4 pairs that the soles just disintegrated! All of them were bought last summer. What is going on?

Shoe really has no width, so didn't fit snugly. Also, the shoe has no heel adjustment in the strap which doesn't make for a good fit.

Think twice - This used to be my year-round staple, but the company was sold and the quality has declined. The sole split (a common problem with this shoe) after only three months of wear on the most recent pair that I purchased. Try another company.

I had a problem - I have had two pairs of this shoe and on both the soles split. I have never had this happen before. Perhaps you can explain this. I hesitate to buy Clarks shoes now.

Dissapointed in sole - I have a pair of the Clarks Sunbeat Sandals and the sole on both shoes has split across the bottom and the upper is just like new. Can anything be done about this?

I really liked these, very comfortable and well made but because the heel strap is not adjustable, after just over a year's wear it has stretched out and the shoes are falling off my feet. If the strap was adjustable, I'd be able to wear them for years as they are in perfect condition otherwise. I wore them all the time and they still look brand new. I would not buy them again only for that reason and reviewed them to warn others off this particular design. I love Clarks shoes, but not this pair.

Happy feet.... I've tried this particular style of Clarks sandals years ago and have worn nothing else since. I replace them every couple of years in most of the colors. They are comfortable from the get-go. It's also a pleasure to be able to personalize the fit of the sandals to your feet. I only wish that they came in green. Myself and my feet thank Clarks for creating sandals that provide the ultimate level of comfort!

I have been wearing Clarks Sunbeat sandals for years. When my most recent purchase arrived, I was very surprised to find they didn't fit as well as the previous 10 or so pairs had. I compared them to my last pair and found that the new ones were at least 1/2" longer than the old ones, though they were marked the same size. The straps were shorter as well, making them seem narrower. It would be preferable to me to pay more and receive the shoes I expected instead of a poorly fitting substitution. I will no longer be buying Clarks.

Below the Clarks Standards! Not at all what I expect from such a high quality shoe brand. The shoe itself was a black patented leather design (bad choice!) For all the buckles that it had they were no use! The shoe was loosely fitting and uncomfortable to walk in. I had to bear down to grip the shoe with every step. I bought them for the summer season to go to work in and the day I wore them I had the worst commute in running after the trains. I guess they weren't bad for long walks. I WILL NOT wear them again!!
