Love Clarks Clarene Pima A261975 for $130.00? They're around $75.00 and up depending on color and size at Amazon!!!

Most of my Clarks come from Amazon for that very reason.

It's always worth checking, but it drives me crazy the way Amazon prices things. If you're a size 6, this shoe is $129. If you're an 8, it's $78. If you're a size 7 medium or wide, it's $78, but if you're a 7 narrow it's $50.

@QVCkitty1,Do you wear a lot of Clarks? I found their clogs to be horrably narrow where you put your foot in. I finally got a pair that was a little bit wider and stretched the heck out of them! I wanted that leather and a really low one for when I'm taking heavy things out of the oven and we have someone over. Obviously, I don't want to wear slippers then! LOL!!!

I hate ordering shoes, but the selection in my neck of the woods is almost non- existent. I like .Born and Clarks, and with Clarks I find if it's a sandal, I wear a 9, but if it's a closed shoe, 91/2. Of course there are exceptions like my NB sneakers are a straight 9. It's a pain , but I love shoes, sigh.

@ChynnaBlue Ditto to every word in your post about Amazon's wacky pricing system. I'm not immune to saving a few bucks, so I usually check around for the best price for things -- particularly for a brand sold at many places such as Clarks. I understand with the alternative fashion colors and what is considered odd sizes, because maybe the vendor has to go to some trouble to get those from the manufacturer. However that theory falls apart when you see a fashion color at a lower price in hard to find 5W or 11.5AA, than it is in common 7.5B. Oh well, at least for those of us who wish to take the time to research, the options are out there for potential savings.

Actually, the no pricing games is one strong suit of QVC for shoppers who prefer not to spend time hunting and searching the internet for price comparisons. At the Q the prices are what they are across the board in all sizes and colors.

@QVCkitty1,I go up 1/2 size from a sandle to a closed shoe too. I think we have a little more wider foot!!!

I've been curious about the clarene and salene wedges.

I have plantar fasciitis and have trouble being on my feet for a long time.

The Ingalls bottoms and sport sandals have worked well for me along with sketchers go walks.

The Ingalls are closed shoe so I can get an extra heel support in there when needed.

Thanks in advance for any thoughts!

@Grnidkjun,With the unique problems you are dealing with, I'd go to amazon and look at the different styles offered. It seems that a totally closed back that is a lace up will help you and nor work against you. It seems you need a solid back with a peep toe? Quite a few of their styles have that back strap.

This is Yumi683. I saw it when I was in a department store. One of the girls in Channel was wearing it. I couldn't beloeve how beautiful it was. Hers was high polished black leather. Unfortunately, my foot is too wide for their closed up styles. Best of luck. I'd like to know what you choose.

This is Yown Rug. It might keep your heel stationary and give you a little peep. All of the foot beds are soft.

Thank you for the style suggestions.

I'm wondering if anyone can compare the clarene vs salene vs ingalls soles and how they feel and if you have foot issues, which you like better.

Thanks so much if anyone is able to give feedback.

If I can ever make it into a dept store, I'll see if they have any to try on.. Just wondering about the experience of others.

I tried the Clarks Clarene Pima shoes in a bricks and mortar store and they rubbed my ankles. The footbed is OK but Clarks needs to come up with a different design in order to be comfortable to me.
