Customer Reviews Clarks Aria Pump

Most uncomfortable Clark’s I’ve ever worn, very tight across the top of the shoe and in the toes. Not as cute in person as they appear online. I hope they loosen up a little bit with wear, otherwise I’ll have to discard,

Not happy, normally love this style of shoe but this seems too high on top and cuts into the top of my foot, sad to say back to Zappos to look again!

This shoe runs at least a full size too small/narry. And the edge material that rubs against the top/forward part of the foot is EXTREMELY uncomfortable. Too bad, because the foot bed is very comfy.

These are NOT the same as the old style I bought a few years ago. The seam at the toe is very tight and left marks on my foot after just a few minutes. I couldn't wait to return them. They are not at all soft and there is no way you could wear them without a sock. I ordered the same size, 5.5, and the new style was short.

I wear an 8.5 or 9. Ordered the 9 and still was too small. Returned.

So disappointed in this shoe. I love the previous version and was excited to buy them again as my old blue Aria pumps are aging. But this updated version runs unacceptably small, and the changes to the toe area are less comfortable and less visually appealing than on the previous Aria pump. I kept these but I never seem to wear them.

Liked the style of these, but the top of the shoe really cut into my foot. I wish these fit because they are so cute.

This is a really cute and comfortable shoe -(well almost) except that as others have mentioned the instep is very low and presses on the top of your foot. So unfortunately I have to return them

This is the 3rd pair I have tried in the wide. I usually wear a 7 1/2...I tried 7 1/2, 8 and 8 1/2 and ALL of them were super tight across the toes. First time I have had this issue with Clarks.

I really wanted these to work. I kept trying them around the house but they are shorter and tighter than my other Clarks. I just could not risk keeping them.

I have owned a number of Clarks in the past and my normal size 9 medium width always fits well... but not with these. They were very tight and felt short. Super cute, I wish they fit, but I am returning. The fit is so off, I am not even going to chance another order, I wouldn't know where to start with the sizing!

I really wanted to love these shoes! The bumpy insoles irritate my feet.I usually order an 8 1/2 W knowing they will be too long, that was not the case with this shoe it runs short. Also the trim around the top of the shoe was tight on the right foot.

I was disappointed in the lack of cushioning inside the shoes.

I was happy to find this shoe that is very similar to Clarks I bought a few years ago and have worn out. I ordered the gray and the black. The gray ones fit perfectly and are cloud soft. However, the black ones pinched the top of my foot and felt a half size smaller. Too uncomfortable to wear so I'm returning. I think the difference is the gray ones are nubuck and the black say "man made." They are both the same size

I ordered a 7.5 wide but the toe area still seems quite narrow. Ordering a 1/2 size larger and hoping they will fit.

Very cute, and the kind of summer casual shoe I was looking for, but I had to return it because the edge of the top of the shoe rubs my foot painfully, especially across the tendon leading to the big toe. I always have this problem with Clark's slip ons, but I thought from the picture of the soft bands crossing the top of the shoe it would be different this time, but it wasn't.

I REALLY wanted to love these. Ordered 8.5 wide, however they are so awfully small through the width, I would say that they would struggle to fit an average width. I did check the inside tagging and they were marked as a wide width. The length, however, was true to size so going up a size wouldn't have worked.

I really wanted this shoe. 9.5 was too short, so I exchanged it for a 10. There was no difference in fit. My left big toe still pressed on the front of the shoe.

Not true to size, order next size up. Tight even without socks

I love the style of these shoes so much, but the sizing is nuts on them. I usually wear a 9 or 9.5 in shoes (generally closer to a 9 when they're shoes worn without socks), so I ordered a 9.5 and a 10 after reading reviews of how these run small. The 9.5 felt great everywhere but in the toe box—it was WAY too tight. I debated on whether they'd stretch out for a while, but after walking just a couple minutes in my house with them on my feet were already getting rubbed pretty painfully, so I sent those back. The toe box on the 10s fits fine, but the rest of the shoe is too big. The sides are a bit wide, though I can deal with that. But the backs slip off as I walk, which isn't great. However, I liked these so much—they really are cute and the padding under the foot is very comfy—that I bought some Dr. Scholls DreamWalk inserts for the heels. Those, combined with how my feet tend to swell up a bit in hot weather after walking around some, should make the shoes wearable. I hope.

this shoe runs quite small. I have another pair of similar Clark's that feel wonderful.. Sorry to return but cannot even slip them on easily

These are cute but stiff and they run REALLY small. I had to go up an entire size. The Keens ballet shoes are much more comfortable so I returned these and kept those.

These were cute but too short. I always wear a 7 1/2 wide but these didn't come close to fitting.

Unfortunately this cute shoe has to go back! I've got a pair of Clark's Privo shoes and this new pair is at least one size smaller than my current pair. How disappointing! I tried another Clark's Privo on at the store recently and the size 10 was fine in the length but slipped on my heel. This pair was fine in heel but was way too short in length. I love Privo's but I wear a size 10 and an 11 would be too big in the heel for me. Please pass this review on to Clark's so they can fix their sizing!

I need an enclosed toe with out completely smothering my feet - and these were cute, but I purchased a Half a size larger because so many of the reviews stated they ran small - but the 8 1/2 are Too large for the my size 8 feet. I have to return them.
