Customer Reviews Clarks Arla Coast

Needing a sandal for a vacation with a lot of walking, I have to be picky. While I liked the softness of the straps, the sole is stiffer than I expected (which, IMHO, makes a shoe less safe when walking on uneven surfaces). And with my somewhat narrow foot, I prefer a sandal with some ability to adjust fit, which this sandal doesn't offer. So, these did not have enough structure or support for me. I will be returning them.

I liked the look and feel of these EXCEPT: where the cinches hit on my foot was really uncomfortable, because it was rubbing against the bone. If they were placed differently, I would have kept these, but I decided to return them.

These shoes are comfortable but I did not keep them. Getting them on is tricky with a tight stretchy strap, and they sound like flip flops when I walk, which I did not want.

They are cute, but just not for my high arches. The larger strap that goes over the instep does not give, and the decorative piece that pinches it in and gives it its character puts uncomfortable pressure on the top of my foot. On another foot, they would be cute and stylish.

I think these shoes are really cute and wanted them to work. However, you must be sure the straps fit securely across your feet. As I was walking in them, one of my feet actually fell out of the shoe and I nearly tripped. I gave it a second try, and same. They may not do that for you, but for me, safety was an issue.

Size was good fit was a little big on the left foot and did not provide the level or arch support as the right foot.

Comfortable sandal but not nearly enough arch support for my foot

Footbed is super comfortable and cushy but they are too wide for my foot and the style isn’t flattering so I returned them.

Comfy sole but fabric straps rigid and uncomfortable.

Got a 9.5, which was fine (I wear 9 in Chaco sandals and 10 in Asics sneakers for reference), but it was very narrow, like the Clark's Arla Gilsan, and with the fabric straps it did not feel secure with regards to side-to-side motion. Also, my foot was sliding very far forward since there is no toe post. I think my foot isn't 'tall' enough to fill in the straps and make them secure, so I returned these. They are cute though!

Way too wide for my feet. Love the style.

There is no way this shoe should be labeled as wide.
