I purchased these in July even though I wasn't in need of another pair of sandals. I have always wanted to have & try a pair of Clark's, but usually they are extremely expensive.  I got this pair thru Amazon at an awesome price.  I received them quickly and was immediately impressed with the comfort and how soft the patent leather upper was.  Wearing them gave me no problem at all with regard to getting blisters from the shoe rubbing my foot... because it just DID NOT rub! Where my foot or toes were against the leather it was soft and supple.  The only problem I found was that the cloth that covered the footbed has come loose around the edges and rollls up under my small toes as I walk. I wanted them to walk in on an upcoming trip to New Orleans, but I may not, unless a shoe repair place can resolve this issue.  Overall,I am pretty satisfied for the price. And... if I can find another pair at the same price or around the same price that I paid for these, I just might be tempted to purchase another pair.
