Buying shoes on Amazon is always a risk, but I thought Id take the jump. I know now that I probably should go to a shoe store. It is not Amazons fault, but is just how shoe fitting is. Unfortunately Clarks can either be very large, just right or too small.  This particular shoe is very comfortable, but  when worn, there are huge gaps on the outer sides of the shoe almost like its been over stretched for some reason. Maybe I received a defective pair from Clarks but I would not order online and will now go directly to a shoe store to try on. I returned these.  Again this is by no fault on Amazons part, it is just how Clarks shoes are and its a risk. As always, Amazon customer service was five stars.
