I purchased these Clar's sandals because I had worn a pair of Clark's loafers for several years.  The loafers fit perfectly, and fit perfectly from day one, so I did not hesitate in imagining that the sandals would fit the same.  I was wrong.  Because they are too narrow, my foot does not go as far into the sandal as I imagine they should.  Don't get me wrong.  These are decent sandals, and I believe if I can break them in, they will probably wear well.  I am happy with the design and materials of the shoe.
