Clarks has always made super-comfortable shoes but until recently they were a bit grandfatherly-looking. Now they have these really cute styles but with the same comfort and workmanship! These are super cute and at the same time easy to wear and comfortable walking shoes. Best price was on Amazon! I have very high insteps so many shoes pinch but these are wonderful. The 7 1/2 fit perfectly even though I usually go 7 1/2-8. So if you're between sizes go for the smaller size. I got teh black ones - agree with another customer that the grey is not grey but more like a light brown. I do not notice any jangling from the zipper at all. It was a bit sticky at first but that went away with the first few zips.
