Detailed Review
When it comes to the comfort level, the Clarks Women's Desirae Lily Heeled Sandal truly excels. The footbed is designed to provide cushioning that makes walking effortless, perfect for those long days where you might be on your feet more than usual.
The design and aesthetics of these sandals are also worth noting. The sand metallic finish adds a touch of elegance that can easily elevate any outfit—from jeans to dresses—making them a versatile addition to your wardrobe. Moreover, their chic appearance does not compromise on comfort, which is often a challenge in heeled sandals.
However, while the durability is commendable, the lack of water resistance can be a drawback for some. If you’re caught in unexpected rain or plan to wear these near water, you might want to reconsider or choose your occasions wisely. Additionally, ensure to try on the sandals before purchasing, as some customers have reported inconsistencies in sizing.
In terms of versatility, the hook and loop closure stands out. It allows for quick adjustments according to your comfort level, making these sandals user-friendly for a variety of foot shapes.

I was looking for a shoe like this as I have a similar pair of navy Clark’s. I love the velcro closure and the heel is just the right height.
I am young and have bad knees. I've had meniscus surgery and chronic knee issues from an accident. It's hard to find a dress shoe that can be fashionable and worn for hours and not cause knee issues. These shoes were so comfortable. I wore them for hours at a funeral and then the following week all night at a wedding. I have them in 2 colors and will be getting a third. They go well with pants as well as a dress! My daughter who has a wide foot bought a pair in Wide width and thought they were great! You cannot go wrong with a Clark shoe! I wear a size 8.5M or 9M usually and the 9 in this shoe fit best. (my daughter wears a 9.5W - 10 W usually and she bought the 10W).
I loved these shoes EXCEPT that they were too wide and don't come in a narrow width. Otherwise they are exactly what I wanted. They are very stylish and I believe that they would be very comfortable.
If you are on the fence with these, just buy them! I have wide feet that are hard to find cute shoes that fit me comfortably and these more than do that! I wear these all day at work and walk up and down stairs for 9 hours a day and these feel great! I now have them in 4 colors and they are amazing! They DO run a tad large, I have found. I normally wear an 11 wide, these fit me better in a 10 (I originally bought in 11 and exchanged them) don't wait any longer.....buy these shoes!!
Oh my! I hated to send these back. They felt so good to my foot BUT the ankle strap was entirely too big.
These are very nice, comfy shoes. My daughter chose these to wear to a dance and get a lot of compliments on them
I so wanted to love these shoes. They have a very nice padded foot bed and just the right size heel. But....When I wore them the right ankle strap cut into my ankle and caused a sore. The left one is fine. I have smaller ankles and wear a size 8M. So it was not an issue of tightness at all cause I have to tighten them to the max and they are still a little loose on my ankle. The best I can figure out is that the velcro comes all the way over on one side and the "teeth" are exposed to rub the ankle. I do not know of any way to fix the problem.....There needs to be some space where the velcro ends on the strap sides. Otherwise, its going to dig into your ankle....
Has a little glittery look that I don’t really like but they are still cute and comfortable
