I was a little leery about buying shoes without trying them on first. My fears were unfounded, as the shoes fit perfectly.

I have problems  with balance. Most of the time I wear athletic shoes, but there are some times that I need to wear something a bit less casual. I need a sandal that has a heel height that is high, but not too high, because of back problems.

Clark's Lexi Norwich fills the bill. They are extremely comfortable, and the strap across the ankle adds some support.

If Clarks ever makes a similar shoe with dressier details, I would get them in all colors.
