ClarksHamble Oak, Women's BroguesLeather Working Group

As my feet got wider in recent years, unless I'm purchasing sneakers, I more often than not need to go for a wider option, if available.To this end, after trying and returning many (MANY..) pairs of boots that each and every one were proving their claims of "extra width" false, I have finally stumbled upon these here smart-looking brogues by Clarks.The shoes look really smart and fit basically any outfit you might want to assemble for work. They are very easy to put on and extremely comfortable when worn. Tying the laces is a little hard as the laces might be a tad hard to pull tight due to the ladder lacing method used, but that can be easily corrected by relacing them using the normal criss-cross method, if desired.As for the fitting - I used to be a standard 6, but as I mentioned above, my feet grew a little in both width and - it seems - in length as well. As i measured them (by outlining them on paper) and comparing that with Clarks size charts, I estimated that 6.5 wide should be about right. Sadly, the only sizes available in the vicinity were 6, 6.5, 7, and 6 wide and finally 7 wide. As I was really, really set on NOT returning another pair of boots frustrated at their mismatch, I decided that this time, I'm going to be safe rather than sorry and so went for the 7 wide option.This has turned out rather well, actually! While the elongated nose is a smidgen too long, admittedly it is also very narrow still. Were I to pick a 6 wide, my toes would have a hard time squeeshing in, no doubt. Therefore, having a little extra room in there doesn't seem that bad in comparison (the distance from my big toe to the inside tip of the nose seems to be around 1 - 1.5cm).The insides feel extremely gentle, well profiled and comfy. The insole is supportive and very nice to the touch. You can feel these are good quality shoes.When tied up nice and walking around, the shoes seem to have a little space at the heel as well (very little, just enough so the shoe slips a little up and down with each step, but not nerarly enough to squeeze a finder in there, or be visible really) but that's not really an issue, either.Now as for the midsection width, it's perfect - the shoe fits very well, ensompassing the foot with no "jiggling about" of the foot (that happens when the shoe is too wide), but still there is just enough space that I could - if I wanted - to put on a little thicker socks instead, for the colder days.They *do* require a little of breaking in though - or perhaps just getting the back side of your heel accustomed to these? - because after the first day of wearing them I did end up withn a blister where the rim of the shoe touches the tendon area above the heel at the back. That's nothing a good blister plaster won't fix and is nowehere near the level of breaking in boots like Martens etc. Plus, the rim at the back does have a little extra padding as well (see the pics attached).Finally, I have lower back problems and can't wear heals and these shoes are perfect! The heel is hardly 2 cm tall (just below an inch) and I can't really tell there's any heel at all, when walking. To me that's ideal.PS also, the price is to die for (25 in promo currently), and I don't think you'd be able to find this quality even for twice that! Shoes highly recommended!

Amazingly comfortable. I have usually worn shoes with soft cushioned soles, thinking these were the best for aching feetNot so. These are great.The quality of the shoes is of a very high standard.They look like a real classic.

I purchased this pair of shoes 3 months ago for my work in hospitality, and I must say, I am quite impressed with them. Typically wearing a size 38, I opted for a size 5 1/2 this time so I can put in a console and they fit perfectly.These shoes are incredibly comfortable and blend seamlessly with my work attire. Standing for over eight hours a day, I rely on these shoes for the necessary support, and they deliver exceptionally well. Made with genuine leather, the shoes promise durability and quality craftsmanship.I particularly appreciate the little cushion at the heel, which ensures that even on the first day of wearing them, I experience no pain or discomfort. Overall, these Clarks leather shoes are a fantastic addition to my work wardrobe, providing both style and comfort for long hours on my feet in the hospitality industry.

Comfortable shoes will wear them a lot. The front of the show is a bit high on my feet but I think this will improve once the shoes are worn more.

Love these brogues, nice leather and good fit. Highly recommend

Good smart shoes for work and very comfy

Good fit overall. Good quality. Would recommend

I was disappointed with this shoe as I bought the same model of this shoe in Navy a few years ago and it is very comfortable to wear. I ordered 3 pairs of this shoe a 4 a 41/2 and a 4 wide have had to return all 3 as none really felt good. The 4 wide did not seem wide over the foot but felt wide at heel.Still a nice looking shoe

Me gusta ese estilo de zapatos y estoy feliz de haberlos conseguido. Los he comprado en diferentes colores y los seguiré comprando. Son muy cómodos. Los recomiendo.

I was concerned about the fit if this shoe. I have a wide foot and I boldly ordered a size 9, when usually I can wear an 8 or 8.5. The shoe fits very comfortably and the length is nice (not an extended toe box).They are a good quality leather with no ridges. I love the look, without looking too masculine.

Très belles chaussures. Portées de longues heures sans ressentir aucune gêne. Je recommande.

Ottimo prodotto. Numero conforme. Comode e belle

Très jolies mais taillent plus grand que prévu. J'avais suivi les indications pour commander la taille en prenant 1/2 pointure au dessus de ma taille habituelle.Elles étaient finalement trop grandes.
