Customer Reviews Clarks Helina Alessia

I normally do not comment on items but these shoes are worth a review. I needed a pair of shoes to walk the streets of San Francisco and my local Clarks store did not have my size nor could they get them to me in three days before I left. Thanks to the awesomeness of Zappos they had my size, color and had them to me before I left. I have walked in these shoes everyday from the time I left the airport and have had not one blister and total comfort beyond belief. I would highly recommend these shoes. I will say if you have wide feet these would not be for you. They run a little narrow.

Tried 8.5 wide first and they were way too big, so I tried an 8 wide. Cute shoe and it was wide enough for me but was digging in at the top of the toes across the front of the shoe. I was also hoping for more padding along the sole.

Oh how I wanted to love these. The styling is fabulous, walking a careful line between simple and unexpected with the cut-outs and textured upper. They ran 1/2 size large for me and I loved the cushy insole. However, the sole of the left shoe I received was uneven - there was visibly more material on the outer edge of the heel when compared to the right shoe. I figured it must have been a fluke, waited, and ordered another pair only to find the same issue. I am so sad to send them back but like another reviewer I found the left shoe painful when trying them on around my home. Such a bummer - this is my first experience with Clarks and I'm really disappointed with the quality of what should have been awesome shoes.

Loved this shoe, comfy, neutral. I had it in black first and decided to get the putty color too.

I ordered a pair like this from another website, but they were an uncomfortable fit. When I saw them at Zappos, I thought I would try again. This pair is very comfortable and I get lots of compliments.

I'm very pleased with these. I bought my usual Clarks size and they're perfect. I wouldn't walk for hours in them (only my preference - for others I'd see how they can work) but for knocking around, they're great.

These shoes are wonderful! I have a hard time finding a casual ballet-flat type of shoe that has the kind of padding I need without coming off as orthopedic-looking. I walked around in these all day without any discomfort.

Love the look and feel but I would buy a 1/2 size up. They are a little tight across the top. I am hoping that they will stretch as I wear them.

I bought it in My usual size 8.5 wide in closed shoes but I had to exchange them for 8 wide. They were to big on me the 8 wide are just perfect and so comfortable. They are very stylish and so pretty.

I love this shoe. It appears to be well made, with good cushioning but it runs big. There is almost 1/2 inch extra space!! Funny I ordered another pair of Clarks same size and width and I will have to break those in!?! Its a wonder that they have not standardized their sizing.

These shoes are incredibly comfortable! Soft, cushiony sole. And they look great on -- very versatile because they are casual but also look good with a cute summer dress or skirt.

Nice shoe, whish it had worked out for my work shoe. I have small but wide feet, so it is hard to find just the right combination.

Years ago I fell in love with Clark's Privo selection of flats (I bought eight pairs over the years) and have missed that type of shoe. I ordered these shoes in red and loved the color, feel and general comfortable fit so much I just now returned to buy the pebble suede and navy colors. After feeling the comfort of these shoes, I will not be missing the Privos any longer!

These shoes are more than perfect! I needed rubber soles shoes for a dinner/fun cruise at an upcoming convention. Didn't want to wear my Cape Cod boat shoes because I wear them all summer on our boat. These are so nice! Can't wait to pair them with my striped capri and white jacket. Thank you Clarks.

I absolutely love these shoes. I am so happy that Clarks is again making the type of flats that I fell in love with years ago! The red is true to the picture and beautiful.

Very cushy, very well made. The subtle snakeskin detailing adds the perfect hint of class to this casual shoe. I'm returning because they are a little too rounded to look good on my feet, but am definitely mourning the fact that they didn't work out.

These flats are so comfortable that I can't wait for the snow to be gone so I can start to wear them. I knew from the moment I tried them on they were "keepers" and plan on purchasing more colors. I can always count on Clarks for comfort and style.

This shoe looks classy and has a nice pattern, good cushiony inside. A little stiff at the back, had to put a little moleskin pad on it. Good value and will be a super all around summer shoe once I break them in a bit.

I bought these shoes for a vacation, so I wanted them to be versatile- comfortable for lots of walking, but not too casual, and would go with a variety of colors/outfits. I have not worn them much, but they feel pretty good. I did notice that the top seems to cut in a bit on my foot, so that might be a problem. have high arches not sure if that's the reason why. Over all I am happy with them.

Lightweight and universal color. The fit is wide overall, from toe to heel. Too big for me.

These are cute but somehow these worked well on my right foot but hurt my left foot. A problem I've been having lately. I don't know if I'm developing a bunion or what but the left shoe around the ribbon opening just cut into my foot. I loved how they looked though and the material was soft. The white bottom was not that great but I guess that was supposed to look sporty? No real arch support to speak of but these would have been comfortable for several hours wear. I ordered 6.5 wide and it was perfect.

I normally wear size 7½ but when buying shoes but with a wide option I will buy size 7W. Unfortunately even at the wide width the top of the shoe that goes across my toes was still too tight and I do not feel like you could wear it in to loosen it. There is very little support as well. I am sad to send these back because they are so beautiful.

This shoe is comfortable and stylish, I purchased the pebble suede, but the shoe runs somewhat large. The shoes do not slip off my feet, but they are loose. Considering that this shoe does not come in half sizes, I will use an insole to tighten the shoes a bit.
