Clarks Women's Metti Low Pump

Personally, am finding it hard to make the transition to a shorter, more comfortable, heel but have found it necessary just the same. For a low, broader heel, show these are cuter than most and will work with both pants and skirts.

I have always wanted a pair Clark's shoes but could never justify spending that much money on a pair of shoes for myself. I finally caught a break and was able to get this shoe at a very reasonable price and I have to say...Ouch! These shoes hurt. They are very true to size, the proper width, etc, but the little strap that comes around the vamp to the side of the shoe digs into your foot. It is excruciating by the end of the day. I had to raid the first aid kit at work for band-aids to put over the spot that was being tortured on my foot.

This is the absolute wrong shoe for me, but it may be great for someone else.

I saw these shoes several years ago and really liked them but couldn't justify spending $80 on something I would rarely wear. So when I found them at less than half that price AND all the size options on another website, I couldn't resist. Before buying them I read all the reviews and they were mixed, but it kept coming up that these shoes run narrow. So I went to a local store and tried on several pairs of Clarks Artisan collection to find what would work (no local store carries the Metti). My normal shoe size is a 7 or 7.5M with it most often being a 7.5. When I tried on the 7.5M in the store, the length was great, but it was too tight at my toes. When I tried the 7.5W, it was too long and wide. It took a while but they finally found a 7W (it was the only one left among several different styles of the Artisan collection). It was probably the most perfect fit I have found in a dress shoe. Needless to say I went home and ordered the brown and black and am very pleased. They fit slightly different than the ones I tried on, but the foot bed is the same and it is still a great fit with the heel being slightly loose. This is the first time I have bought a W shoe size, but with this collection I would suggest it to those that normally wear M's. My disclaimer is that I rarely wear or buy dress shoes. The shoes I wear almost constantly for the past 4 years has been a Keen slip-on, if that tells you anything.

The shoes were excellent however were too large for me. I did have to return them and received a credit very efficiently.

Thank you for your service.

I love a stylish shoe, but comfort is tops and these shoes fit both. I can stand all day in them. The only drawback is the rubber sole squeaks on the tile floors I walk on. Very true to size.
