I live Clarks shoes. All of my shoes are Clarks. But, I am disappointed in this purchase! I need black sandals and despite reading reviews that these were lighter in color than expected, I got them anyway. The picture online seemed to show a matte black... turns out these shoes are not black, but grey.(they aren't even a light black..they are definitely grey!) If you need black, do not purchase these shoes! I would have considered keeping them despite not being the right color but the braided strap across the top on the left shoe (braiding is black) does not match the right shoe! The right shoe braiding is gray. This shoe does not live up to Clarks quality and definitely is not worth $59.99! I am waiting for UPS to pick this up for a refund.
