Meh quality, but resigned to keep them
I've had a long, and drawn out experience with these shoes. I originally wanted the black leather ones, which were no longer available on Clarks.com, so I ordered them from Amazon. When they arrived, they were too big despite being size 7.5 (almost as if someone with wider/bigger feet wore them and stretched them out) so I returned them. But I couldn't stop obsessing about the shoe!!! I returned to Clarks.com and convinced myself that the distressed taupe was just as versatile as the black and purchased a pair in size 7 since the previous size 7.5 were big on me. When I got them they were perfect...except for being on the small side. But I stuck with it for awhile and wore them despite some pinching in the toes. Finally I couldn't take it any longer so I ordered the size 7.5 and returned the size 7 in store. When the size 7.5 arrived, they fit as they should, but now I had a different issue. The quality of one of the shoes is off. You can see in the picture that the side/heel piece is attached incorrectly such that the shoelace holes don't line up and the corner edges are not at an even height. It's like more than a cm difference, which is a huge quality oversight! Compare the right shoe (the left one in the picture) to the left shoe (the defective one). It might not be that noticeable to other people, but I expect better quality from Clarks.
Anyways, I initiated a return, but since size 7.5 is no longer in stock and no longer on sale, I'm probably just going to cancel my return, and keep these until they are restocked and I can get a better quality pair. Due to the size issue with the first pair and the quality of this most recent pair, I could only give the product a 3 star rating since it seems the quality of the shoes is hit or miss. As for the recommendation, I've heard from so many people that they love the shoes (for themselves and on me) so I would recommend them, but with a cautionary note.

Love the boots!
Since these boots are suede, I need to 'protect' them before I really get into wearing them all too much, but they are so cute and very comfortable for a heel (the only reason it's not a 5-start comfort is due to the heel because we all know tennis shoes are a 5!). It took a couple tries to get the right size, but the Clarks customer service team was INCREDIBLY helpful and responsive.

So disappointed with these shoes.
Love the look of these boots, but wish I could say the same for how I feel when wearing them! I'm so surprised to see very few others saying the same. They are so uncomfortable. No support in the front of the shoe, very awkward to walk in. I feel like I'm not able to walk at my normal pace when wearing them, which is incredibly annoying. The last time I wore them, I was really made to regret not bringing a change of shoes. Wanted to die by the end of the night. A few hours spent in them and I had developed blisters across the soles of both feet. Limped around for the rest of the week. Now I'm too scared to take them out again! Of course, I've worn them outside so they can't be returned, I'm sure. What a waste of money. Ah, Clarks, I love your shoes, but I don't know if I could buy from the brand again! I would recommend to others - spend the day wearing these around the house. If you feel comfortable to venture outside with them at the end of the day - I'm jealous.

Really Comfortable - No need to break in!
These at now some of my favorite shoes. From jeans to dresses they go with everything! I sometimes walk home from work and had no issue when I wore these. Definitely worth purchasing!

Love these shoes!
I live in New York City and walk around a lot every day. These booties are perfect for winter...they look great with skinny jeans and warm socks and still feel great after a full day walking around. I highly recommend them!

This shoes are great! I love them!
A great shoe that I was able to find in my size 51/2. Perfect neutral color for my wardrobe.

Great style, yet comfortable
I feel like I can wear these anywhere and they look great. The heel is sturdy enough to be comfortable, but doesn't look bulky.
