I have a good inch from the tip of my big toe to the point of the shoe. &nbsp;They are also roomy through the heel box . I also don't wear hose, so you know&nbsp;&nbsp;when it's hot, your feet are hot, etc, shoes fit a whole lot differently than they do today when it's turned winter again. The fit of these will be perfect, I think.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clark-shoe-review---also-on-cheryles-post#post-1467366 Thu, 02 Apr 2015 23:02:05 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1467366@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree - the closed back is a major plus.

Very elegant.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clark-shoe-review---also-on-cheryles-post#post-1467269 Thu, 02 Apr 2015 21:31:32 +0000 Suz 1467269@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh! I love them! I don't see MOB but if you do, it could be the pinky rosey taupe that contributes to the feeling...there was a time when there were quite a few MOB dresses in those tones and maybe there is carry over. I am seriously going to investigate these. What I like is the fact that they have the heel; this makes them wearable for longer in our climate, to my mind. I mean, you COULD wear them with nude hose if you absolutely had to. I wouldn't want to, but you know what I am saying.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clark-shoe-review---also-on-cheryles-post#post-1467262 Thu, 02 Apr 2015 21:07:55 +0000 Anonymous 1467262@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>maybe I'll order the black too - now that I know what I'm doing size-wise.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clark-shoe-review---also-on-cheryles-post#post-1467259 Thu, 02 Apr 2015 20:58:06 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1467259@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well I think they look great and book end your hair beautifully but you have to be happy in them :)</p> <p>Here's the link from The Bay where I ordered mine in black&nbsp; <a href="http://www.thebay.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/en/thebay/shoes/womens-shoes/sage-glamour-pumps-0016-sage-glamor--24" rel="nofollow">http://www.thebay.com/webapp/w.....pumps-0016</a></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clark-shoe-review---also-on-cheryles-post#post-1467255 Thu, 02 Apr 2015 20:49:29 +0000 AM 1467255@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they look good.

They are giving me mother-of-the-bride vibes . I think it's the heel height (or lack thereof that's throwing me off)&nbsp;&nbsp;Black would be better. &nbsp;So - where did you order them from? &nbsp;I went back to the Bay's website and couldn't; find them. Why am I spending so much time doing this when I should be working is the bigger question &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clark-shoe-review---also-on-cheryles-post#post-1467243 Thu, 02 Apr 2015 20:15:52 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1467243@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh this is very hopeful! Thanks for doing the legwork Lisa. Now I'm even more excited about my black ones arriving.&nbsp; And the fact that the leather is soft means if they are slightly too narrow in the forefoot, I can stretch them. They look fabulous on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clark-shoe-review---also-on-cheryles-post#post-1467240 Thu, 02 Apr 2015 20:12:14 +0000 Angie 1467240@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>By the way, I just bought these.

I too have a bunion that I try to conceal. I have several pairs of these that work for me&nbsp;:<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.dsw.com/shoe/audrey%20brooke%20hylda%20suede%20pump%3FprodId=285963&amp;CAWELAID=120167280000417158&amp;CAGPSPN=pla&amp;cm_mmc=&amp;catargetid=120167280000820757&amp;cadevice=c">http://www.dsw.com/shoe/audrey.....0167280000</a><br />They do come in grey but are shown on a different page on the web site. Pretty inexpensive too.&nbsp;I have brown leather and black suede plus an animal print pair .&nbsp;I wore the brown last year to a wedding and I have to say they were &nbsp;comfortable, I danced a lot and my feet were not killing&nbsp;me ! I have two sizes a 7 and a 6.5. The 7 is a little loose over the top of my toes but fits a little better with Mrs Bunion, as I call her :(<br />&nbsp;I also have a pair of Okalas which are ok but not comfortable as these, they hit Mrs Bunion in the wrong spot.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clark-shoe-review---also-on-cheryles-post#post-1467209 Thu, 02 Apr 2015 19:16:15 +0000 rabbit 1467209@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>thank you! &nbsp;Hope they work out for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clark-shoe-review---also-on-cheryles-post#post-1467206 Thu, 02 Apr 2015 19:12:15 +0000 Anonymous 1467206@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Their colour name is "grey combo" but there is nothing grey about them. Decidedly taupe with a slight rose undertone. Very slight though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clark-shoe-review---also-on-cheryles-post#post-1467200 Thu, 02 Apr 2015 19:00:00 +0000 rabbit 1467200@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They look good! &nbsp; I may stalk them for awhile. &nbsp; How gray vs. beige/warm are they? &nbsp;I'm looking for something that leans cool and gray. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clark-shoe-review---also-on-cheryles-post#post-1467190 Thu, 02 Apr 2015 18:47:38 +0000 Anonymous 1467190@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Guess what I came home with?</p> <p>First off - I think I deserve points for braving the mall during Spring Break. Oh my god what a nightmare. I totally forgot it was this week - who ARE all these people??</p> <p>&nbsp;I would definitely prefer them in black, but I like the taupey shade too. I'm still going to test-drive them at home before I decide, but I think they are going to work! Here's what didn't work with the Okalas:</p> <p>*leather too stiff and inflexible on forefoot - had the leather been softer, it might have worked<br />*forefoot part/vamp edge cut across too low on my foot and was too narrow - and i do not have a wide foot, just an ugly bunion on one foot that nixes wearing low cut vamps (and peep toes)</p> <p>Here is what's great about the Clarks:</p> <p>*much softer leather - already can feel how malleable it will be for forefoot comfort<br />* higher vamp without looking dowdy - and provides just that much extra coverage over the bone on the side of my toe&nbsp;<br />*very walkable heel height and good back/ankle support</p> <p>only drawback - because the heel is so low, they do make one's feet look bigger than usual . I also have quite a bit of extra length at the toe, they could be bordering on a half size too long, but this gives the most comfort on the vamp.</p> <p>I just want to walk around in them a bit today to make sure my left foot stays hidden inside the shoe, but I think they are winners! No wide widths available, nor did the SA know if black were coming . Pictures below - sorry for the white scary-looking feet - it's cold today and my skin is turning blue and white</p>
