I ordered these shoes based on reading other reviews about their comfort and support, as well as they were the best looking shoe like this I could find (not too chunky).  I needed some comfortable, supportive shoes to wear towards the end of my pregnancy, and hoped these would do the trick. I had always thought Clarks ran small, so the first time I ordered a half size up, but ended up needed my actual size. They look okay and are comfortable, but they really don't provide the arch support or cushioning I was expecting.  They are better than flats.  But they still leave my feet hurting after a few hours of walking around.
