I ordered them to buy casual shoes without laces for driving, taking short walks, etc. When the price dropped to a sell-out price I took a bite. They arrived this morning and although they are very pretty shoes (I usually LOVE Clarkes) I excitedly opened the box and my heart sank. I ordered a size 11 but these shoes are at least a size 12 or 12.5 long! The width is perfect, but an extra inch or more above the toe box made my feet look like I was wearing clown shoes! Too bad because the style is great, as is the quality. But someone PLEASE check the dimensions before they leave the factory! (But maybe that's why the price has fallen as low as it is now.) The return has already begun.
