I was concerned when I read the negative reviews about the Clarks Sennet Shell sandal, but they looked so pretty that I ordered them anyway, figuring if they were uncomfortable I could return them. Well, they are just about the most comfortable sandals I've ever worn. The size 8 fit my feet perfectly. The footbed is very cushiony and comfortable. Others mentioned that the footbed fit their feet strangely. I'm not sure why that would be, but my feet are rather narrow and flat so having weird feet seems to be in my favor with these sandals. They are versatile; nice enough to wear out with a dress, but fine with jeans or the leggings that I seem to have on all the time. The leather is very soft. I got the bronze ones and they go with everything.
