I haven't worn these for any amount of time yet since it's still winter, but I got both the red and black.  The red is not a bright red -- more of a garnet red.  My only complaint is that the red leather is supposed to look "hand tanned" so it has some darker areas that, in my opinion, just make it look a little worn.  I'd rather it was just an even color all over, but I can live with that because they seem to be very comfortable and stylish enough to wear to work.  The heel is a great height. I got a very similar type of sandal a couple of years ago (Tatianna by Softspots) and these Clarks are more comfortable. I haven't noticed the problem with the back part of the shoe digging into the instep that one reviewer mentioned.  I'd recommend these Clarks Wendy land sandals.
