I normally love Clarks' shoes.  But this one missed the mark big time.  I have a high arch and a wider foot and this design did not work well for me.
They were too tight at the top of my foot and it cut into my pinkie toe.  If these had been made from leather the stretch would have eventually worked out.  But where it was man made material, even though it says leather (cheap Clarks, all of my other Clarks have leather, what's up with that?!) there was no give to the material.  I had my daughter try them (she is 11 and wears the same size as me) she had the same issues.  Had to send them back.
