I was so excited when I placed an order (Order Number: 633384237) for the Sheer Violet Bronze, in order to wear them on my daughter's wedding. But so so disappointed when I realized that my shoes were so hard and nothing like the Clarks we knew!! I say "which we knew" as my daughter has also placed an order for the same pair of shoes, Sheer Violet Praline Leather, (Order Number: 632609238). Uncomfortable, hard, not at all soft. My both cou-de-pied are still on pain, 19 days so far. We're both disappointed and it's like throwing 200.00 euros into the trash.
