I love Clarks shoes but I was so disappointed with this pair (Palmdale Sands Wedge). The strap that goes across the toes is situated so far down  across the toe bed it caused my pinky toe to pop out uncomfortably with each step--both pinky toes! I may have stubbly little pinky toes but I've never had this problem with Clarks shoes or sandals before, every pair is usually so comfortable and darling to wear.  The other problem with this shoe style is that they squeak horribly with each step---it was extremely loud to the point my friend even said to me, &#34;Wow, those shoes are some serious squeakers!&#34;  We were outside and the squeak, squeak, squeak could be heard over the   cars and other outside noises. I was so dejected to return these shoes because the cut out design pattern is adorable and exactly what I had been looking for in a summer sandal.  Sorry Clark's--the craftwork on this design with the toe strap leaves much to be desired--my pinky toes like to hang out UNDER and INSIDE the strap, not split off hanging out to the side like I'm wearing a sideways pinky toe thong sandal with my sandals.
