First off, I like the style of this shoe.  It seems well made to me.

I have one other pair of Clarks, so can offer limited comparison in case it is of use.  The other pair appears to be the "Croft."  I have those in a size 9, med width.  They are long enough, but feel a bit wide.

Tried some Clarks at store, found that 9 seemed short in toe.  Based on that try-on, plus reviews here, I ordered this May Poppy in 9.5 A for a narrower fit.  It is perfect, actually a slightly better fit than my original black pair.

The sole on this shoe has a bit more shine to it than the Croft. This is not in any way a negative, not particularly noticeable, just a different finish than the other pair.  I think the photos are pretty accurate on this point.

I appreciate all the ratings.  Reading other people's descriptions makes it much easier for me to "see" the online items I am considering!

And unrelated to the product rating, the item did arrive promptly, was appropriately packaged, no damage.
