It's always a gamble with shoes, but these fit perfectly and felt great the moment I put them on.  It's sometimes a battle with blisters with new shoes -- even open slides like this, but not these.  I think they will look great with a skirt, slacks, or shorts -- they seem really versatile and cute.  Clark is a relatively expensive brand (from my point of view), but I have never been disappointed, and I can't say that for many other brands, even other so-called "comfort brands".
