Have never liked Clark shoes, they are all my mom will wear.  While shopping with her recently I tried these on and was impressed with how comfortable they are, was also impressed with how stylish they are.  They are more of a matte finish pale gold than shiny sparkly. Great color to go with anything and comfort. They were $20 less than at the store, order a half size up if you have narrow fet, a whole size up if you have wide feet.
