Customer Reviews Clarks Rosalyn Wren

Just got these shoes; very comfortable! Except for one little thing--the front (vamp?) of the shoe rubs on my foot when I walk, but I think that might soften and be okay. Love Clarks!

As someone who has Plantar Fasciitis these shoes are AMAZING! The only problem I have is that the leather scuffs way too easily for the amount of money I paid for these shoes. I bought a second pair even though the leather was scuffing because they are that comfortable but they look horrible already and unprofessional now. I have tried shoe polish and a brush but the leather is scuffed away. Maybe I'll try again and not wear them while driving as the backs of the shoes were damaged by the rubbing on my rubber mat on the commute to work. I'm still trying to figure out how the tops of the toes were damaged so badly.

ordered size 11, but was too sloppy large overall. Returned and got a size 10. Fit perfectly, and heel not too high. Love the shoes

Even though this shoe fit, it felt and looked clunky. The blocky heel strikes the floor and you must rock forward in a step before the rest of the shoe follows through--difficult to describe, but very awkward. I have to return them.

I wanted to love this shoe as my job requires me to be on my feet all day. I felt their was not enough arch support for me and the shoe cut in to the top of my foot, I have wide feet especially at the toe area. If I needed a shoe for occassional dress events this would be the one.

Beautiful shoe but the Velcro strap was way too large so it didn’t provide any support for my foot and the shoe kept slipping off.

Shoes were cute but too big in the heel. Very clunky sound when walking. I felt that if I could just tighten them with the strap more they would slide up and down.

I needed a dressier shoe than the flats I normally wear and fitting my WW foot is always decidedly NOT fun. For width, these shoes were on the money but while I ordered them in a 9 WW, they felt a good half size larger with a gap at the heel. I could feel them sliding off as I walked. My daughter also commented that they looked like flamenco dancer shoes. I'm not a flamenco dancer.

The shoe felt too loose at the top of the toe box, and the heel is unattractive. Reminds me of the shoes that the nuns would wear at my Catholic school in the 80s. I'm sending it back.

Despite the velcro strap, these actually aren't adjustable. Both the "hook" and "eye" of the velcro is on the folded portion of the strap, and there isn't any wiggle room to fold it differently. Basically, the strap folds over into one spot and that's the width you get. So, with a low-volume foot like mine, the shoe was still too loose. The length also runs big; a 1/2 size down fit me well for that.

These shoes didn't work for me. A bit tight in the toe box, and very loose in the heel. And unfortunately the folks at Clark's haven't realized that those straps don't really help if you can't tighten them. I had the same problem with another pair that I loved but were too wide also.

Pros: These shoes are classic and lovely. The heels feel stable enough that I'm not wobbly. Cons: They are not as comfortable as most Clarks I've owned, but perhaps they just need breaking in. The toe area where the shoe opens at the top pinches tightly and causes blisters on top of the foot. I'd hoped that the "toe crack" would not be visible in these shoes, but it is. :p I'm going to work on breaking them in to see if they improve in comfort. Perhaps ordering a wider size would have been the way to go with these.

This is a very long fitting shoe for Clarks and I could not adjust the strap small enough for my feet. Nice looking shoe, but I do not have enough time to try for the right size so will return them.

This is a very long, odd fitting shoe for Clarks and I could not adjust the strap small enough for my feet. Nice looking shoe, but I do not have enough time to try for the right size.

These are very comfortable shoes that I wear to the office daily. However, the color started coming off the toes and heels almost immediately. I would expect such an expensive pair of shoes to hold up better. I am very disappointed. They might run a smidge large - I am really a 10½, but these fit fine in a 10.

These shoes were comfortable but the straps were wider than I thought they were going to be and looked kind of heavy. The styling didn't feel young and hip, it was more functional.

These shoes are comfortable and cute! But like other reviewers, that peeling business ruined the usefulness of these shoes. Mine peeled at the toes and the heel area is faded--probably from heel to carpet contact when I drive. The overall effect is can no longer wear them. The coating of 'leather' is tissue thin and once it starts to peel, the party is over.

Cute, versatile. However, the quality is not good. They started peeling the first couple days and it is difficult to repair. Quite a disappointment.

I wear a 9N. My foot is quite narrow and even N rarely fits, except in Clarks Shoes. In a previous Clark's Mary Jane heeled shoe the 8 1/2 N worked. I tried this shoe in both 81/2 and 9 N. Both felt too loose. I tried an insert but then my toes felt cramped. The heel seems to slip more in the Rosalyn Wren shoe. I have returned both sizes. Clarks in 9 N work well for me when they do not have a significant heel. The style was nice and I would have kept it if the shoe was more narrow. The strap is not really adjustable.

Leather did not hold up after 1 wear.

The shoe is comfortable but does not at all hold up well. I wire these shoes in three trips going to and from airplanes. I Do not work in them, Always change into flats. Just beware that they get scuffed very easily and they are not a quality shoe!

Pretty shoe that I wish I could keep, but it has a couple of problems. One is that the heel is too wide and slips up and down when I walk. That would get old over time. The other problem is a more serious one in my opinion. It has a ridge across the insole between the heel and the beginning of the instep. You don't see it, but you feel it. And neither the included insole nor my orthotic insoles can cover it up. I can't picture what sort of foot this would not be a problem for. It's like no one gave any thought to contouring the shoe to allow for a gentle transition from front to back. I could never wear these shoes at length, and I can't picture anyone who could. I mean, what foot is actually shaped to accommodate that? I've read such good reviews for Clarks, too. I just don't get it.

Sizing is all messed up, took out the really super foot pads and replaced it with not even half the padding. Got to find another good brand of shoe to wear! 6 Med is too small 6 W is wide enough but half size too long!

If you order a wide width, it suddenly becomes a half size longer. ): Always have worn a 6 med, but suddenly the toe box has shrunk on them, so ordered a wide, thinking that would take care of it, wrong! Ended up being a half size longer. ): And the ortholite footpads, gross, go back to memory foam! For years Clarks has been my go to brand, well, sorry to say not any more. ):
