I have several Clark thong sandals and they are all very comfortable. I did not wear thong sandals because they really hurt between my toes. The Clark Artisan sandals are different, they are like walking on a cloud. The price on these sandals is great. I saw them in a large department store for much more. They are very pretty with the turquoise colored stones for decoration. The reason I did not give them 5 stars is because they run small a half size at least. I had to up the half size on my other Clarks also. So I did order a half size bigger on these and they were still tight. I almost sent them back, but decided to keep cramming my foot in and hoping the leather upper would stretch. And they did. So now they fit fine and I can wear them all day.
