Clarks Women's Rosily Ballet Flat

I love these flats! I'm a teacher with foot problems (I know, not a good combination, right?); I have very high arches, plantar facciaitis, and some issues with the balls of my feet as well. I need good support along with adequate cushioning. These shoes have pretty decent support for the average foot right out of the box. My feet are not average. BUT, the cool thing about these is that the insole is removable, so I take out the factory insole and put my Orthaheel Relief insole in them and then they are perfect. They are roomy enough to accommodate my orthotic, and have a FABULOUS amount of cushion and air circulation. I seriously wear these all day at school and then come home and don't take them off. I have a pair of the Clarks Linda Mary-Janes that are the same way. So, yes they are expensive. But they are worth every penny. They are well-made, attractive, and best of all...they really do feel like walking on pillows ALL DAY. And my regular low-cut cotton footies hide inside them just fine. Bonus! I did find they run a bit large, maybe half a size. Works for me since I live where it's HOT in summer and my feet get swollen in the heat. In the winter I just wear tights or thin trouser-type socks with them. But if you don't live in a hot climate or your feet don't change size with the seasons, you might want to think about sizing down a bit.

These shoes are comfortable right out of the box & a cute style. I wore them for 8 hrs. the first day with no problems. I think they may run a tad large, but that's good for me as I often need a 10.5. The toe box is roomy as well. This shoe might be too roomy for a narrow or petite foot. The lambskin lining is very soft and comfy. The only place I felt anything was right at the vamp. I just stretched it a bit by hand. The style is casual but can be a good all around shoe worn with jeans, pants, skirts and dresses. The insole, heel and sole are very comfortable unlike a typical flat. Pricey designer flats have very little cushioning so I stay away from them. I got these for $50 off the retail price making them a great deal!

I love Clarks Unstructured shoes, especially the flats. They are great walking shoes but are still flattering and not clunky looking. The black comes in Narrow, which I need ,and the throat is cut high enough to cover my bunion. The lining is very soft and the removable insole is easy to replace with an orthotic. I love the leather exterior and interior.I wish they made the navy in narrow. One complaint is the beige lining shows some at the edge.I looked at my older flats in this brand and they all have a small leather band in the same color as the shoe at the top edge of the lining. If the lining did not show and more came in Narrow, I would buy this shoe in every color.

These Clark Unstructured are made much larger than previous Clark Unstructured shoes. I have the previous ballet flat style, and the current shoe is made much larger than those. I am returning the original order, and reordering one size smaller. The quality of the shoe remains as good as ever. I am giving the shoe 4 stars because the sizing is not consistent with previous Clark shoes, but the quality is still there.

With so many black & white outfits this season, a red shoe a nice touch to spice them up--however not many red shoes are to be found. These are a nice "bright" red. They are well made and very comfortable. I did have to exchange them for a half size smaller. I think they are a little overpriced--I would never have paid $115 for flats, but since I got $60 credit for applying for the Amazon Visa, I treated myself. I did take away one star for the less than smooth fit along the arch. I believe someone else mentioned the tan lining showing--that is where it gapes open a bit along the inside arch. Overall I am happy with my purchase. This shade of red will also go well with Navy blue.

I wanted a shoe for walking and still looking a bit more fashionable than tennis shoes. This was not the shoe for me. The fit was off and not at all comfortable. I love Clarks and rarely have trouble with the fit. This shoe was just not for me. I returned them and purchased the style: Kessa Gazebo. It was absolutely wonderful. I highly recommend that style.

Quality construction. I got them to wear on a European walking trip, lots of cobblestones. Unfortunately, I ordered them too close to my leaving date. Because they run small, they needed to be broken in as the leather did eventually stretch. I love them now that they have stretched, but I was glad to have other walking shoes with my while I broke these in as I initially got heel blisters. (One definitely needs a thicker sole like these when walking on cobblestones.)

The only problem is my one foot is smaller than the other and it slips around. Guess I'll take it to the local repair shoe store to see if he can fix it. Other than that, if you need a larger toe box in height, this works very well. I had foot surgery and have trouble finding comfortable shoes and as long as my foot doesn't start to swell, it is fairly comfortable. It does run about a half size large.
