Customer Reviews Clarks Wave.Trek

Nice looking shoe, good quality leathers, very sturdy and supportive sole. I bought wide, but the shoe is not wide by any measure. Too narrow for my forefoot, too wide for my heels. Sending it back.

These are a nice supportive shoe but I found it was a stiffer sole than I was use you. They are nice for walking but for day to day use I prefer something more flexible. I will use these for long walks and hiking.

I purchased these in the pale blue and it is a grey blue color which I like. The length of the shoe, the width and the arch support are fine and I walk the dogs in them frequently in the winter. The only thing is that I have very high arches, and while they give great support from underneath on the insole, there is not enough cut in the material to allow for the top of the foot to fit properly. Even though I can adjust the laces to keep my toes from going numb from the upper pressure, this causes the heel to be looser and the shoe now sort of flops. I have tried several pair of Clarks and this seems to be consistent in their design, so if you, like me have very high 'ballerina' type arches, you might want to think twice or be prepared for a lot of back and forth shipping.

Wonderful shoes. Well made. Solid. A little clunky looking when I pulled them out but not bad once on. They were just a little too roomy - even with thick socks. I would need a 10.5 but not a whole for sure (half sizes stop at 9.5). Great shoe just not for me.

Great footbed and style actually quite nice for podiatry-friendly shoes. Heel cup too shallow, though. Heel would not stay in and rubbed up and down. Tried two sizes even. I could have possibly used moleskin to break them in, but I don't think it would ever feel like the shoe was staying on my foot. And, I think the rubbing would have continued. I probably would have kept them if not for this issue.

I just got back from a 9-day trip to Rome, walking my way through cobble-stone streets, up and down many hills, under the beating sun, and walking for the major part of every day. I didn't break these in before I went: painful mistake, as the first day of moderate walking from Termini to Piazza Repubblica found my feet feeling like knives were stabbing into the toe joints! I realized that these needed to be broken in, and by the second day, far less pain, which faded altogether on the 3rd day. They're ok, though not the most comfortable nor the most supportive shoe I've worn. I honestly wonder if a good ol' pair of running shoes might have done just as well. But as I got these in black, and wore them mostly with black leggings (nobody wears boot-cut slacks anymore in Rome. :( I fit right in with the Europeans. And, in the mornings when I'd put these on, I knew I'd be ready to face whatever ancient terrain awaiting my days' touring. Not the best shoe, but pretty good.

I am very pleased with these shoes. I have a very narrow heel and these shoes fit just right. They are still comfortable after wearing them all day.

I really wanted to love this shoe. I wear an 11W, but the wide width of this shoe was not quite wide enough - felt tight across the ball of my foot. Overall comfort was excellent, however.

Left and right shoe do not have the same width/volume. Right shoe is more roomy. My feet are the same size so I know it's the shoes. I needed the shoes NOW so couldn't return and am living with it. Maybe the left will stretch over time?

I have average feet with high arches, these felt great right out of the box, but luckily I left them on while watching tv and both feet fell asleep! Although they didn't feel narrow, they were! Had to exchange for a wide, I NEVER wear wides. Now they are nice and comfy. I wear between a 7.5 and 8, but bought the 8 wide. The red color is actually a rusty red, didn't like, traded for grey,much better. Black looked too orthopedic.

They were just too small for me in the toe box. I have one foot slightly larger than the other. Other than that they felt great.

Oddly, the sizing/width isn't consistent among the different colors of the Clark Wave.Trek. I ordered a 9M in black and a 9M in brown. The black was significantly tighter through the toe box. But it did come with an extra pair of fancy shoelaces! I guess I'll try a 9W in black and see how I do.

I am glad that I got these for this price. At the Clarks outlet. I had to get them in a 10, though I usually wear a 9½. I was disappointed by the lack of arch support. I like the suede, could like without the turquoise accents. They are light weight but have thick, rocker soles so you have a sure foot. They have poor arch support, and are too narrow. I am hoping that they stretch out some.

This is an attractive shoe to wear with jeans. I ordered it because I wanted an alternative to clunky running shoes that I have to wear for plantar fasciitis. The shoe was just what I hoped for except that the right shoe actually caused my foot to pronate inward and (though I usually wear a Narrow) these shoes were too narrow to wear with a woolen sock.

Ordered the size 7 wide. They felt more like a 7, regular width. I'm returning them. They are nice looking though. Luckily it's so easy to return shoes through Zappos.

I really like these shoes and they fit well and look great. The only drawback is that they are a bit low and, so, don't provide the ankle support I really need for hiking and trekking.

Very comfortable, but the color is a much quieter burnt orange, not bright at all as pictured here.

These shoes are definitely very attractive. They are rugged, yet feminine. They fit my feet perfectly and are pretty comfortable. They are very comfortable actually, but after I have them on your feet a few hours, my arches ache. I do not normally have this problem with other shoes, so it has something to do with its arch support or possibly the soles being too soft. Speaking of softness, if you are looking for stability these are not the shoes for you. They are not going to make you unstable or anything, but I definitely notice the fact that they are not stable like sneakers. There is no ankle support obviously because they are short. One last gripe is breathability. These shoes do not breathe at all. I do not normally have sweaty feet, again I am comparing them to other shoes here. When I take these off at the end of my 10 hour office day, my feet are wet from the moisture. Even in the winter. Overall I still love these shoes because they are so cute! Maybe as I wear them more I will get used to it. I recommend these shoes if style is your first concern, but if you have posture of feet issues, I am not sure that this would be a wise idea.

Beautiful, beautiful shoe. Unfortunately, "wide" is standard width and not actually wide. Moreover, the body of the shoe is not very tall, so my foot with high arches was very uncomfortable. So sad -- I really wanted these shoes!! These shoes are well made in addition to beautiful, and the soles are supportive and cozy, so I imagine that if you have narrow, flat feet, these would be your dream shoes.

Well, upon reading the reviews I was hooked on giving this a try. When I received it and took it out of the box. I was impressed with the overall construction. This is a very well made solid shoe. However, when I tried it on it seemed restrictive and narrow. I thought maybe it needed to be broken in, so i walked around the neighborhood in it. After a month or so. I still don't feel comfortable in this shoe after wearing it my feet actually hurt. After a total inspection of the shoe, I realized that the last in this shoe is straight. well my foot last is curved causing conflict when I would walk, thus the pain. in short I have an arch and these shoes are mainly for those who have flat feet (no arch). I do recommend these shoes they over an abundance of support and cushioning. Would have given it a 5 had I know about the last. I will be returning them.

I really wanted to like this shoe. My husband do a lot of muddy trekking in the fall and I needed a water-resistant sturdy shoe. Alas the wide wasn't wide enough in the toe box and was a little loose in the heel. Otherwise, a very cute shoe, especially the matching laces and trim!

This shoe is lightweight, attractively designed and, in red, is one I really wanted to keep. But, the toe box is narrow and would not be comfortable for walking. Had the toe box was wider (I'm a B width with AA heel) it would have been a perfect shoe.

I was looking for acceptable work shoes that would also accommodate my athletic orthotics, because I am having a problem my my ankle tendon and need more ankle support. These shoes were close, but after wearing them around for an extended period, I had a lot of foot pain. Thank you, Zappos, for letting me send these back. They are cute and I would have liked to keep them, but foot pain trumps all.

These are very comfortable right out of the box. The only drawback is the color is listed as red - and they are more of a rust brown. I had wanted for the summer but they are more of a fall color.
