Review on 👠 Leather Women's Shoes and Pumps by CLARKS: Adriel Viola Collection by James Hardy

I have 2 pairs of this pump's predecessor (Clarks Brier Dolly) size 9 and I LOVE them. Now that they are no longer made I was looking for something similar. I bought Adriel Voila pumps in a size 9 and was very disappointed that they didn't fit me like my other Clarks shoes. They were definitely too small and my little fingers rested on the sides of the finger boxes. Thanks to Revains' excellent return policy, I was able to return a half size larger. Lo and behold, 9.5 fits PERFECTLY. I would recommend going up a half size or buying both your normal size and a half size up and see how they fit. As far as everyday wear goes, these shoes are AMAZINGly comfortable. During the working day I run a lot: in the office, in and out of the car, to various objects and climbing stairs again and again. These shoes hold up and don't hurt my feet during my hectic day, even up and down 3-5 flights of stairs several times a day! The platform helps make the heel height more manageable and the rubber outsole prevents slipping - I'll never understand why so many companies make pumps with such slippery soles, it's just not practical. Also, it is hard to see from the photos that there is padding on the heel of the boot where the Achilles tendon makes contact with the boot. This is often a problem for some high heel wearers, so cushioning definitely helps prevent this. There are only two small things I would like to see in the next version of this shoe: 1) I would prefer the platform to be hidden, and 2) MORE COLORS! I would buy 10 pairs of these shoes if I could get a few different colors and textures.
