Customer Reviews Clarks Jillian Gem

What a disappointment. These looked great online but in reality they are cheap shoes, not even worth the great sale price. My first touch of these shoes told me something was up - there is no way that these are leather uppers. They feel synthetic, look synthetic, and smell synthetic. I examined them carefully to see if they really were leather, as described in the product description. See photos. The stamp inside the strap says "fabrique en Indonesia" which is a big clue that these are synthetic. The sole has two stickers: one says "material Synthetiques" (which means synthetic material) and the other sticker says "black leather." I really don't believe there is any leather in these shoes. Then I tried them on. I have always worn an 8.5 in Clarks. Always. I could not get my foot in this shoe at all. I found it to be extremely narrow AND short. Also, while the footbed was soft, the shoe was very squishy so there was no firm sole for walking. These shoes were a huge disappointment. What happened to Clarks? As if this weren't enough, I realized I actually purchased from a woke company during June, a mistake I won't make again.

I’m a very recent Clark’s buyer and oddly ended up with several pairs all the sudden. These have a very comfy footbed but are a little tight across the top of the foot. I do think they’ll stretch with wear as the leather is pretty soft. I wanted a sandal that was kind of between a flip flop and a sneaker to wear when I have to be on my feet for a long time, without being too clunky or too dressy. Hoping these work out that way!

love the softness of the leather and sole. Extremely comfortable!

Comfortable and stylish slide if you like a little cushion. Once I got the proper size, all is good. Looks good with jeans, a longer dress , or short. I bought the "snake" pattern and found it versatile with many clothing colors. The price is a little too high for the type of shoe though, like a many Clarks shoes, hence the 4 stars.

so comfy. my ankles and knees aren’t great but these sandals are so comfortable to walk in.

100% satisfied.

My feet are several sizes different, and wide. I can’t wear thin strappy straps so the thick straps are perfect for me. Since I could get this in wide width, I was able to order a half size smaller than usual. Fits well. I prefer a lot of arch support and this one is only moderate. Nevertheless it is very comfortable and accommodates both feet nicely. The soft cushy sole is lovely. I think I’ll be wearing these all summer!

Size 6.5 EE…always need to gamble on sizes when I order. Got these in 7W and they fit VERY WELL: straps cross at the right angle to encase my foot width and accommodate my high vamp. Toe bed is a little long for my short toes, but I will work into it as shoes wear in.

LOVE these sandals! Comfortable and great looking. The quality of the leather straps is excellent and they're also lined so there is zero scratchiness on the inside. I'll wear these all season.

They are comfortable and fashionable. It is usually difficult to find shoes that are "cute" in a wide width and these are perfect!

So, I have a wider/flatter foot. Typically I wear a 9 regular width shoe. I ordered the 9 Regular and it was a little short and very narrow in the ball. I returned it and purchased the 9 wide. It was wider to be sure, but too big in the instep. I buy leather so it gives a little. I'll keep this pair, but maybe a 9 1/2 regular would be better. Just something to think about.

I bought these in the Natural Snake Synthetic 8.5W - the shoe is adorable and fit really well in the wide width but the "textile" lining looks like the kind of shoe that would absorb a lot of sweat and isn't washable. Imagining these becoming stinky worn socks after a few wears, I'm returning them in favor of the Steve Madden Civic 7 (Men's sizing) which is very roomy on my wide feet and can be wiped down!

I have short, wide feet. These were much too narrow and too long. I usually buy a 7 in most brands, so I was pretty disappointed. My feet were hanging over the foot bed on both sides.

I love these shoes. I’m only 4’9” and they are perfect and add an inch to me. They are so comfortable.

Upon wearing the first day, I was concerned that I might obtain a blister from the feel of the straps a bit snug on my foot. However, I forgot about that and had a very comfortable day in these sandals. They are a perfect Clarks fit!

Perfect!

shoe fits perfect

Fit perfectly. So comfortable and supportive.

these shoes are amazingly comfortable. I have a wide foot and most wides still pinch my toes and cause pain when walking in them for any length of time. I wore these to a conference and logged 8 miles in one day with these shoes with no problem.

Love them!

Already have two other pair in this style but for fall/winter. Was happy to see in this color of leather for summer.

These are great. Just needed to go a half size bigger. So comfortable.

Gorgeous sandals that go with everything. Comfortable right out of the box, too!

Clark's. Was true to size, I wear 9.5 but 10 Medium was only size left. They still fit me very well. They're soft, comfy, and very supportive to both feet. That's important at my age, 69. I have lots of foot problems! But I can walk around in these all day. Going to buy another pair.

Great shoe, great price!
