Customer Reviews Clarks Maritsa Lara

I wanted to love this shoe but it runs large and the strap is not adjustable if your ankles are slim. I normally wear a 6.5 in Clarks and I ordered a size 6 in black based on reviews, and it was huge on me. Overall, I think there is just too much black going on here with the covered heel, drawing attention to how clunky the shoe is and how much of a wombat I felt wearing it.

Super adorable shoes, don’t know if I am keeping. They rub on the side of my big toe, blister waiting to happen. The height of the shoe is great. Looks great with the dress I bought. I have very thick ankles and they make them look less so, so I didn’t have a problem with the strap. Only problem I see is bandaids in my future.

These shoes are comfortable right out of the box. I tried them in wide and medium but had to return the wide because my foot didn't hit the arch properly in the wide size so did not give arch support. I bought them in two colors now. Very comfortable and I like that they give me some height plus being so comfortable you feel like there's no heel/height. Love them! Feel like your foot and shoe are one. So comfortable.

Although I think these shoes would be cute on someone, that someone isn't me. I found they ran 1/2 size larger than stated. If I had kept them, I would have returned them for a smaller size. They seem well made and I liked the fact that the platform was the same fabric as the upper. They were simply too chunky for my taste.

Th black color from the suede rubbed off on my feet, ankles and bottom of my slacks. The black suede Maritsa is too expensive for this to happen.

I’m usually between 9.5W or a I normally wear somewhere between a 9.5W or 10M. Luckily, this was available in a 10M and fits perfectly. The shoe is amazingly comfortable. Other reviews stated that the full black suede was somewhat chunky. I feel it looks quite chic based on your wardrobe choices. My feet are VERY happy in these- which is saying a lot since I have had foot surgery.

I usually wear a size 11 WIDE. I ordered these in that size and returned them as they were too long in the heel. I ordered the 10 WIDE and they fit perfectly! I have problem feet and they are comfortable. I have looked for a pair like this for years. I’m very happy with these shoes. They are beautiful and look great with capris, skirts and fabulous with jeans! I walked in them the first evening quite far around my town and they were comfy. The black die does come off on your feet though. It washed right off. These remind me of a pair of wedges I had in the 90’s....very cool and great looking on.

Love these shoes. Definitely run big. I am a 6 and or 36. I could use a 5.5 in this shoe. I am keeping them because I love them so much and a little big never hurts!

Not worth $130! I have a normal medium width size 10 foot. This shoe was too roomy which may make someone roll their ankle. There is no way to tighten the straps. I liked the heel was wider than normal wedges. I did not like the suede fabric for a summer sandal. Sadly, Clarks missed it on this one.

This is a very cute sandal except it is defectively cut. The adjustable strap is way too short to adjust and all you see is this bright ugly velcro sticking out. Cutting costs by skimping on the adjustable strap? Really disappointed by this otherwise cute and comfy shoe. Returning.

They feel very soft and comfortable. My truly wide foot slid in and fit immediately without having to break them in. That rarely happens. They feel very light too! I love how feminine and cute they look. I haven't worn them for a long period of time yet so I don't know if they will rub at all but so far so good. I'm happy with my purchase.

Very cute shoe. I've been searching for a white sandal for work that is not only comfortable but stylish. This fit the bill. Very comfortable. Width feels good, only issue I seem to have with shoes that have back velcro straps is there never seems to be long enough velcro as I have a smaller ankle . There is just enough velcro to work and feel secure, but if there was a smidgen more, it would be Perfect! Overall LOVE the shoe!

Finally a comfortable platform shoe that is wide enough for my foot. Looks great with slacks and jeans. Love the shoes! Clarks is my go to brand.

The left shoe fit perfectly and feels completely comfortable right out of the box, but the right shoe felt like it was either a narrow width or 1/2 size smaller and is really taking some breaking in and stretching. It's starting to feel more comfortable, but I wish it fit like the left shoe. I ordered the wide width also, but that size on one of the shoes was way too loose so I sent that size back and I think I am keeping the regular width shoe. I love the look and comfort of this shoe. A comfortable shoe that gives me a little height. I purchased this in Sand suede color.

I was not sure whether these shoes would work for me since the heel is much higher than I normally wear, however they are quite comfortable, and I do enjoy having the option of wearing a higher heel than normal for me. My only "issue" with them is that the strap across the heel is just a little looser than I would like, but I have been able to "pull" it a bit past the regular closure to accommodate my ankles.

LOVE these shoes! have them now in Two colors. Can wear them right out of the box for hours on end! Would highly recommend them. May get even more colors!

Beautiful, well-made shoe. The velcro closures seem secure and it is comfortable for walking.

i bought the olive and love them, and am now going to buy the rust. the Olive (with cork heel) is more of a taupe and it is a great neutral shoe. I often have trouble keeping slingback on my feet, but these are great, and really comfortable and cute.

Obsessed with these shoes! Got them in tan suede and they are SO cute. They have such a '70s vibe, and I love that they're platforms and yet still so comfortable. I have terrible collapsed arches, but I don't have any problems with these. It took a few wearings to break in the toe area, but now they're great. Style-wise, they go with pretty much anything. As some other reviewers noted, the ankle strap poses a bit of a concern. I've been wearing these for a while now and they're all broken in, but I'm a little worried that the ankle strap will gradually get looser and the shoes will start to slip off more easily -- it feels like that could happen. The strap hits at a weird angle on the ankle where walking in them, making you feel sometimes like they could almost slip off. I originally ordered them in a 7 and then downsized to a 6.5 to help mitigate that issue (I am typically between a 6.5-7, so if you are between sizes, you may want to size down like I did). That said, I get tons of compliments on them, they're one of the best pairs of shoes I've ever owned, and I think they were worth the splurge!

Wow, love these! They are super comfortable and I'm getting compliments all over the place! I ordered the navy blue and may get the orange ones.

Wore these all day right out of the box and they were super comfy. Clarks shoes are always high quality and these are no exception. They look and feel great and they can be worn with work pants, jeans, or dresses. If you like the style, you will love wearing these shoes.

Just received my Maritsa Laras today. I LOVE them. I ordered the olive and the fit is right on. I ordered my usual 7 1/2M. I love the width of the straps and the interior leather lining. The olive color is a gorgeous color. It could be viewed as a taupe color also, as worn with different colors. It is also very comfortable. I love mine!!!!

Wider than medium. My foot slide through.

I had to return these and the other clark shoes I bought. I really wanted to like at least 1 of the 4 pairs of clarks I bought. I love the cushion and comfort of these shoes, but they are now making a velcro clasp. Which means you can't really tighten or loosen the straps. Huge bummer. Velcro on all 4 different pairs of Clarks. One strap was too short and the other too long.

Super comfy! Can actually walk in these. The color skews a bit more to red than a true pink.
