Nice bootie to wear with jeans.  Cute.  High enough for little lift but don't feel like I'm wearing heels - but - there is virtually no arch support and these definitely don't fit the category of a &#34;comfort&#34; shoe as one would expect from Clarks.  The insoles are not padded so feel quite firm, hard on the ball of the foot.  Not for walking other than to get from here to there.  The soles are very flexible which is the only thing that makes wearing them for a few hours possible.  The laces are also a good thing, makes them easy to get into and comfortable from that standpoint.  If the price had not been greatly reduced I would have returned.  With arch support and a more cushioned footbed these would be great. If you are under 40 and have &#34;unwornout&#34;, flatter feet these will probably work for you.
