Clarks shoes, otherwise known as C. And J. Clark Ltd are a British manufacturer and retailer of shoes. They are based in Street, Somerset where they began in 1825. They are a well known brand of shoes throughout the UK and many other countries in recent years. Clarks ladies shoes are still some of the most sought after.
When choosing your Clarks ladies shoes it is important that they are comfortable and give the best fit possible for your feet. Clarks have put a lot of emphasis on keeping their customers feet well fitted.
When trying on shoes try to do this in the afternoon. Your feet gradually swell throughout the day and your shoes should accommodate this without making you uncomfortable.
Be sure to wear socks, stockings or tights that are typical to your wear with the style of shoes you are choosing. You want to be certain that the shoes will fit well with the socks or tights you will be wearing with them.
Remember that even brand new shoes should feel comfortable straight away. If they feel as if they need ‘breaking in’ when you try them on, there is something wrong and you should keep searching for a better fit.
The correct width for your shoes is every bit as important as the length of your shoes. Try to find shoes that comfortable accommodate the width of your feet as well as the length.
The heel of your shoes takes the most of your weight should be broad to support this. Whilst women will often choose heels with a height that is in fashion, they should ideally be no more than 4cm tall for general wear. The sole should be flexible and durable and mostly flat with a gentle upwards slope underneath the toes.
The upper part of the shoe that covers your feet should ideally be made of a natural material such as leather for comfort and fit. The heel counter which grasps the back of your heel inside the shoe should compliment your own heel shape and prevent the shoe from sliding up and down your heel when you walk.
For ultimate comfort the lining of the shoe should be completely smooth and free of any seams or stitching that may rub against your feet.
Fastenings should hold the shoe firmly in place on the foot and ideally be laced, buckled or with a velcro strap. Some shoes will have a combination of these fastenings. When trying on your Clarks ladies shoes be sure that they feel comfortable and secure from every angle.
