It's unfortunate that these aren't as comfortable as the two other pair of Clarks wedges I own. I thought the low heel and the ankle strap would be great for walking around the city. Unfortunately, they're very uncomfortable. The padding in the heel is almost non-existant. It feels equivalent to walking on a wooden block. The padding in the ball is not as thick or comfortable as their usual, and the synthetic sole (which surprised me) rubs and creates blisters. The part where the straps of the upper cage connect to the footbed digs in, and my feet are on the narrow side of normal width. Can't imagine what it would do to a normal size foot or a wide foot. I wore these for less than 3 hours and now they're tossed aside, and will likely never be worn again. Wish I could return these.
