User Reviews
I bought the sable colored pair because they were on sale. In separate order (I had to think about buying 2 pair), I also ordered the black pair about $15. The sable ones arrived right away. Just a day or so. When I put them on, my first thought was that they were knock offs. The Clark's comfort and perfect sizing just wasn't there and they had a blemish on the top of one shoe. I tried to cancel the black pair but couldn't so I waited for the Black pair expecting to return them both at the same time. The black pair came a full week later and they were like regular Clark's. So weird. They must have been from a different vendor. Clark's are the only shoe I order without trying on because they are always perfect. Well, shame on me for not reading the reviews. The reviews are spot on about the sable colored ones but completely wrong about the black. Just the same, I will not order from "The Collection" by Clark's in the future, or at least, not without reading the reviews.
I totally messed up on this one, the reviews were completely on spot for this boot. I always read reviews, but just loved the look of this boot, and had already returned two other styles (different companies). I thought, go back to Clarks, they will have good things. (LOLOL wrong)The boot looks cute, however it is so narrow I could not get my foot into it. I put my hand inside and the sole did not feel soft either! There was a sticky paper tag on the bottom of the boot that said 10W really folks??? Look at the darn thing it was a 10N!!! I looked at the print on the inside of the boot at the zipper and it said 10M.I'm not sure what is happening with Clark, but I will say I have seen enough variations on their shoes and boots to know, CLARK is not paying any attention to the QC of their products at the different places they are being produced.
Very comfortable…. True to size…. Not too bulky.
The color is as pictured. I noticed there was mentioning of this boot running small, so I opted for a size 6.5W.Those reviews were correct. They are most certainly a regular size 6.5. It's hard to put them on and although my feet are far from wide, the boot feels extremely tight. I do like the looks of them so I'm hoping they will be a bit more comfortable when they are broken in.Update: I have been wearing them for a couple of days now and they are actually quite comfortable once you are able to squeeze your feet in.
These boots are very cool looking and arrived as depicted. The size is as expected. However, I did not experience the "Ahhh" comfort feeling when I put them on (which was not that easy) that I expected from Clarks shoes. The foot bed is prett hard. But perhaps when they are broken in they will feel different. I kept them for the looks, vanity reigns!!
I should have ordered these in an 8.5 rather than 8, so I had to return. Pretty shoe.
I think these run a little small but they are comfortable for my daughter
These boots are super cute but the sizing is ridiculous! I tried 2 pair, first was a half size up, no good, the second pair was a full size bigger than my normal size, and I got the wide version…. Still waaay too small! That’s just absurd, never had this issue before and never wear a size 7….. very disappointing because the color and style are really cute…
