They're cute, but even factoring in that Clarks boots seem to run a half size large, these were still too large, even with socks. The problem, too, it that there aren't really heavy weight no-show socks. I usually wear the lowest cut Puma socks I can find, and those still show a good bit, the way these dip down. For reference, I usually wear size 10 in tennis shoes, 9-9.5 in sandals, and I just bought Clark Halle boots that fit comfortably as a 9.5.<br /><br />*Update - they are still a bit loose, but workable, with an insert inside.
