Comfortable trumps marginally unattractive? The back story: for years, a mother encourages her daughter to buy Clarks because they’re so comfortable, but the daughter refuses, declaring the shoes too ugly. Finally, fed up with all the other sandals in her closet that give her blisters, the daughter relents. Enter this purchase. As Clarks go, these are reasonably attractive. The picture is accurate — there’s not much more detail in the shoe itself. So why *should* you buy them? Because they’re incredibly comfortable. I could walk for hours in these and be fine (summer sightseeing, anyone?). And sometimes that’s what matters most. Size-wise: I have a wide foot and high arch, so I almost always end up in wide shoes. However, I probably would have been better off with a medium in these Clarks. The upper is generously cut. And as always, Zappos service is phenomenal. The shoes arrived sooner than I expected, and if I had wanted to return them, it would’ve been a piece of cake.
Stylish Sandal with lots of comfort! In the warmer months I’ve been a fan of Birkenstock sandals for the past decade. I still love my Birkenstocks but I was looking for something with a little more style. The Clarks Firefly was the perfect choice. Not only are they stylish but they are VERY comfortable. I ordered mine in wide width and they fit perfectly. I’d recommend these sandals to anyone without hesitation.
Extremely comfortable, but seems to be getting wider the longer I have them. I got a wide width. I keep losing them going down the steps. I would buy another pair, but not a wide width.
Disappointing! The strap across the toes was too wide and placed too far back. The toe area was too long (even for my long toes!) and too wide - made my toes look huge! Very unflattering, Birkenstock-like look. Too bad - they are cute sandals and look like excellent quality.
Heavenly footbed, top not so great - These shoes look as beautifully made as the “Artisan” name would suggest, and have the “Roman” look that’s currently so popular. Unfortunately, the straps were not friendly on my feet. I got blisters on the top of my foot on day 1, and my little toe tends to catch in the opening between the straps. I hope that I’ll eventually break these shoes in, because the footbed feels amazing and offers great support.
Comfortable and Supportive - I’ll start by saying that I don’t generally like flip-flop style sandals. They tend to cut the top of my foot and to slide off without a heel strap. Because of the design of the strapping on these they really seem to have neither of these problems. The heel has a nice cup to it and they have nice support through the whole foot. I couldn’t be happier with my sandal choice!
I really like them all though they don’t have as much support as I’d like since I’m on my feet all day at work. Lots of compliments on them. As far as sizing–I wear an 8.5/9, and I bought a 9, and it fits just fine. Zappos is a great company. Very fast service and I just paid for the normal delivery.
Complete Comfort - These shoes are a blessing when you stand on concrete all day. I do prefer this style, which has more exact sizing (an actual number rather than s, m, or l). These shoes are most comfortable for me when I am wearing socks, but are fine without as well. I have not yet worn them through the full heat of summer; however the person who introduced me to Crocs was not bothered by the material during the summer. I ordered the 10 as I usually wear a 9.5. The shoes slip off too easily when I don’t use the back strap. With the back strap in place the shoes are perfectly balanced on my fit and I feel very little slippage or friction between my skin and the shoe when I walk. My only real criticism of this shoe is that I have had it for two weeks, and the tread is already wearing down in places. There are little tiny raised Xs on the tread, some of which have been completely worn smooth on the areas of my shoes that I tend to wear out first.
Wonderful - Being a teacher, I stand for a long time, and am walking around a lot. These shoes are fantastic!!! They are beyond comfortable. my shoe size depends on the shoe– but I can wear a 10 if they’re wide enough, if not, an 11 works… however I got the 10 in these & my foot fits very well! I cannot wait to get another pair!
Walk and work all day without worries - I am on my feet most of the day and now with the Crocs Cayman (bright orange) I feel so much better. These actually cushion the feet and give a little massage to your soles. It’s great. I love them. I bought them according to the recommendations online for the sizing and it actually was a perfect fit. They run a little big but with socks it’s perfect. I love the color and the comfort. I highly recommend it if you are on your feet all day like me.
Crocs Cayman Shoes - These are great! These Crocs fit me true to size. The website says to order a size down or two-DON’T!!!! I had to return my first pair and get my normal size because I ordered a size smaller than I normally wear. Also, when compared to a friend’s pair of Crocs, the logos on the straps were stick-ons and they fell off. My friend’s pair did not have stick-ons. Mine looked a little cheap
Funky style comfy fit - I absolutely love these shoes. I just ordered my second pair and can’t wait to get more. I work in a doctor’s office and these are perfect for running around all day!
