"I'm on the go all the time and want to be in gorgeous shoes. However, my poor feet want to be in orthotics, which I'm in most of the time, but . . . I bought the Clark Sarasota yesterday and have been gone all day in my new shoes. Sooo comfortable! Can't believe it. The adjusting Velcro straps at all three key spots on the shoes are fabulous adjustment to give you the perfect fit. I'm online now to buy the other colors of this shoe. Ordering them for my mother too! Ha! True! If you think the side view of these shoes looks a little chunky, you're right; they do. But the top view looks more slimming than you'd think. The black patent gives this comfortable shoe just a little "bling" so it's cute. If you have bad feet but also have the urge to look young(er) and a little hipper, I'd vote for this shoe any day!"
