I wanted to love these shoes

I wanted to love these shoes, but for me they are too heavy and not enough support. They are fine for hiking (walking), rock climbing/scrambling, but if I try to go on a trail run it's impossible. Even on a mulch trail I get shin splints if I run in these shoes. I have other Asics (gel kayano) that have wonderful support and they are much lighter. These specifc Asics just don't work for me. I pronate and hace low arches.

I wanted to love these as much as I did when I opened the box, but they are EXTREMELY Stiff they do not fit snug to your foot, feels like your foot is inside of a plastic boat.  I don't plan to put them on for any long walks. Just testing them in the home, I can feel them hitting some spots feels like they will rub. I say if you need some cute shoes for an event with minimal walking these would be a cute option or like I say from the car to the restaurant.

I wanted to love this shoe! They looked so nice on my feet but were not deep enough. I had to return them. Thank you Clark's for your great line of beautiful shoes! Please listen to some of the reviews and make some changes in the styles. We love you and need you! A lot of the styles I tried are just not deep enough.

I really want to love these shoes, and I know I would if the fit were right.  I got the size 9 2E (my older shoes have been Brooks Adrenaline 8.5 2E, Altra Superior size 9, and Altra Instinct 1.5 size 9).  My foot runs wide, and one of the reasons I selected these shoes is that they came in a wide width.  They are *not* wide.  They squeeze my foot much more than I was expecting for a 2E width, and the leather strip over the top causes pain for the outside-top of my foot during long runs (anything over about 1.5 hours).  In addition I find the arch support to be mis-placed - I was going to send them back for a size 8.5, but my toes are pretty close to the ends, so I don't think I can go any smaller on the size.  Luckily, I really only notice the arch if I'm walking around the house in the shoes - I don't feel them at all on my runs, maybe because I mostly do forefoot running.

Fit aside, these shoes are great.  The traction seems very good on a variety of surfaces.  They move well with my feet, and I feel like I'm running with very little shoe.  But, they still manage to absorb the worst of the impact with pebbles, branches, and other random trail debris.

For shorter runs, these shoes work great for me.  Unfortunately, I need to go hunting for some shoes for longer trail runs.

I want to love them,but I can't walk very far in them without tripping. The fit is tricky. I ordered my usual 10 in Lifestride shoes but the sole is a bit too short, the fit on the foot is floppy and can't be tightened. The heels are sharp and too narrow for the floppy fit. I wear heels everyday but these didn't last through lunch.

I wanted to love these shoes. The color is beautiful but the fit not so much. I ordered a 1/2 size up and it was still really tight. The structure of the shoe is not good. I have worn these twice hoping to break in but I noticed the back end caving in around the heal. I would not recommend these shoes.

I wanted to love these shoes. I really did. cute, fashionable, cool colors, minimalist design... I normally wear a 12W, so I ordered a 12W. the shoe was entirely too long. that was surprising enough. but the "wide" is not wide enough for my feet. I could fit my feet comfortably in the shoes, but the elastic laces were stretched out so far that I could see the white elastic underneath the pretty pink colored laces. also, the sole of the shoe has zero traction whatsoever. not good for clumsy people, or even a rainy day, or even walking in my carpeted apartment. It was too easy to glide across the carpet. while that might be entertaining for some, for me that is just not functional. sad to say, I will be returning these, and I won't even bother trying to go down a size to the 11W (1, they're out of stock, 2, it will probably be even narrower).

I really wanted to love these shoes, but I simply cannot say I do. I have two issues with the shoes: (1) there is no arch support, and over time, my feet have started to hurt. (2) Without socks, the sweat really permeates the material and smells. I bought these intentionally to avoid socks but w/o socks, the sweat and smell remains with the shoes.

What I do enjoy about the shoes is that they are fairly light weight, and the tread on the bottom is excellent for creating traction. They seem well made otherwise.

In the end, I am going back to my Saucony Mirage which I had two times before these. Those beat these hands down! They feel lighter or just as light, more responsive, way better arch support, and work just as well when I add elastic laces. Granted, I will have to let my feet get used to no socks, but it is worth it.

I ordered 1/2 size smaller than my usual size 7 and it fits well. I want to love these shoes. They are cute and just dressy enough for my trip to Italy. They are getting more comfortable each time I wear them, but they still rub a bit at the base of my toes. But I think they'll eventually be very comfortable, and the price was right!

I wanted to love these, because I like the support of a vionic insert, but the fit did not work. My heel felt like I was stepping out of the shoe no matter how tight I pulled the laces. I addition, the lace area on top of the shoe seemed very wide - sort of a weird fit. I had to send them back. I'm a 10.5 B and always buy 11 B.

I wanted to love these shoes soo bad. I ordered a 9.5 to accommodate my wide foot and although there is plenty of room, my wide foot is spilling out. I'm sad that I have to return.

I was really hoping to love these shoes!  I am a solid 7 in shoes (sometimes a 6 1/2 in some boots) and these shoes felt too narrow.  The length was fine, in fact, my heels even slipped a little!  They were also really stiff; not what I was expecting considering the price of these boots.  Sadly, I am returning them.  They just cost too much for me to wait and see if the leather will "stretch".

I wanted to love these, but they're super narrow and hurt my feet a lot. I wore them around the house hoping to stretch them out, but it just wasn't working. They left indentations in my feet immediately. I ended up giving them to my bff since they fit her feet like they should. Super cute shoes, just not ideal for feet that are not narrow.

I wanted to love these shoes, but they're so tight it was impossible to wear them more than a couple hours at time.

These are some of the cutest shoes I've ever seen! They're well made and just gorgeous. I tried so hard to love them! I was hoping they would become my "workhorse" shoe as I transitioned to a pedestrian lifestyle, walking 1.6 miles round-trip to work every day. I tried 2 different sizes (the 39 and the 38). I wear a US women's size 8 to 8 1/2, and a size 9 in running shoes. I have a somewhat narrow foot, but not narrow enough to require "narrow" sized shoes. Most advice was to go with a larger size in the clogs (and thus, I started with the 39's). Way too big. My feet fell right out of them; I couldn't walk. I sent them back to Amazon and ordered 38's. While they fit better, they're still too big (even considering the advice that they're supposed to have a loose fit - I accidentally step out of them far too often, and I can't imagine that's how they're intended to fit). My foot moves around too much inside, and that makes them rather annoying to wear for long days. I can't go any smaller, as my toes are already just about touching the fronts of the shoes. I kept this pair, though I probably should have returned them, because I haven't worn them in weeks. I went back to my old standby - Doc Martens. I was just hoping to have a go-to that was a little more light-hearted. Unfortunately, my feet are just not made for Dansko clogs.

These shoes were so cool, I really wanted to love them.  They were just a little too small to be comfortable on me.  They were very well made and looked amazing, but I just couldn't wear them comfortably.  So sad, but had to return them.

I wanted to like these shoes as I loved the style, but as soon as I tried them on, I knew I had to return them as they just were not comfortable.
