Very stylish with jeans or a skirt. I normally do not wear high heels but these are so comfortable. It is fairly wide in the front for those with wide feet. Zappos did a great job with the order-very fast delivery. Thanks and I will be back!!! 2008-03-30 16:52:42 Clarks Octavia Reviewer: from Central California Overall: Shoe Size: Felt a half size smaller than marked Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Excellent arch support Wonderful Shoe! This is a beautiful clog/mule! I ordinarily wear an 8.5, but purchased the 9 after reading the reviews and they were perfect! These clogs/mules are so comfortable and very stylish. I love them! 2008-02-20 13:00:00 Clarks Octavia Reviewer: Debra A from Houston, Texas Overall: Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt wider than marked Shoe Arch: Moderate arch support From the moment I put them on... they felt great! I have been on my feet all day and put these on about a hour ago. Very, very comfortable. Because I can either wear a "big" 7.5 or a "small" 8 and because I plan on wearing them without socks, I got the 8. I am glad I did, they fit the way I like. 2008-02-19 16:06:10 Clarks Octavia Reviewer: Laura from Lake Tahoe, California Overall: Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Moderate arch support Great clogs - They are great clogs for working or hanging out. I have found that for me, they are not good for walking a lot as they end up hurting my feet. I wish they were a little darker color. Other than that, they are one of my favorite shoes right now. Comfortable and good looking. 2008-01-23 08:02:07 Clarks Octavia Reviewer: from Marietta, Georgia Overall: Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Moderate arch support Great shoe for jeans or khakis - I'm really enjoying these shoes. I'm more of a flat shoe kind of person but wanted a pair of mules with some heel to them. These fit the bill. Theyre stylish and comfortable. The insole has some cushion which makes them feel good while walking. Zappos was incredible with their turn around time. I ordered the shoes on the New Year's night and received them the following day in the early afternoon! 2008-01-12 23:02:08 Clarks Octavia Reviewer: Lavajava5 from Near Milwaukee, WI Overall: Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Moderate arch support Nice clog! Good sizing, comfy - I never wear heels, so this was an experiment for me. I took them to work for the initial day of wear and am glad that I have a desk job - but have to admit the adjustment wasn't too bad. The clogs are quite comfy although I've noticed that my foot wants to slide forward in them just a bit. I'm not sure if they are just a tad too long or a bit stretchy - or maybe my socks are slippery! Arch support is moderate. Regardless, they are well made, comfortable, easy to adjust to. I was on my feet for several hours at a function a few days after getting these and while my feet were toast at the end, I didn't get the "numbness" sensation I've gotten from heels in the past - that makes these winners in my book. I agree with other comments on the coloring of the black clog - it is not a true dark black, so don't expect it. These are great for the office under slacks - I've gotten many compliments. 2008-01-11 17:39:05 Clarks Octavia Reviewer: from Monroe, Louisiana Overall: Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Moderate arch support Octavia - Not For Me - A great looking shoe and loved the top-stitching, but was disappointed that they didn't fit. Didn't fit snug enough across the top of the foot. I don't think they felt like a full size larger than marked because the length seemed okay - just too wide for my foot that's not a true medium. I always hope to get a medium that runs a little narrow, so I'll just try another style. Yep, it will definitely be a Clarks Artisan. 2008-01-03 15:51:12 Clarks Octavia Reviewer: Jennie from Nebraska Overall: Shoe Size: Felt a half size smaller than marked Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Excellent arch support Fabulous shoes - I dont normally wear any type if heel, but these are wonderful. I could probably go shopping in these. I do have heel problems, so if all Clarks shoes feel this way, I have a new favorite brand. They look great with jeans. I am glad I went up 1/2 a size. With socks they would have been tight with my normal size. 2008-01-03 07:48:09 Clarks Octavia Reviewer: Jodi from Northern California Overall: Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Moderate arch support Great dressy casual shoe. I teach yoga and have feet that have a preference to being bare or in comfortable shoes. When I also became a mother, I found myself stuck in the rut of Uggs and Danskos with some flats for variation, but never wearing my beautiful higher heeled shoes. These are a perfect compromise. They truly are comfortable. There is a great deal support at the ball of the foot. I ordered and tried on the Borns, Sofft, and these higher heeled and went with the Clarks. Very cute, too. Not elegant, but fashionable. 2007-12-31 09:27:31 Clarks Octavia Reviewer: from Washington DC Overall: Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt wider than marked Shoe Arch: Excellent arch support Love these shoes! These shoes are very comfortable. I recommend them to everyone! 2007-12-30 10:08:46 Clarks Octavia Reviewer: Deb from Los Angeles Overall: Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Excellent arch support Clarks Octavia - Very comfortable shoe, can dress up or down, with a little velcro accommodates a 3/4 orthotic without a problem. 2007-12-27 09:02:04 Clarks Octavia Reviewer: Linda G from Gardner, Massachusetts Overall: Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Excellent arch support I love my new Clarks - The day I received my new shoes, our office was going to walk around Boston to see the holiday lights. We must have walked four miles and my feet felt terrific. I will order again. Thank you, Linda G. 2007-12-22 17:53:44 Clarks Octavia Reviewer: from Lubbock, TX Overall: Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Moderate arch support If You Could Have Only One Pair of Shoes....... I wear my Octavias almost every time I walk out the door. Even after many hours of running around, I can still feel the cushioning in the sole and sort of luxuriate in it. I wouldn't call these anything but casual--and they look terrific with jeans--but they're a hip, very attractive kind of casual. As others have mentioned, the black is not terribly black (and that's the main reason I consider them casual only). To me, it looks like the faded black of a garment that's been much laundered. Might be an issue if you're wearing an all-black outfit with black stockings, cause these probably wouldn't match. My main complaint is that they're very easily scuffed, but since I'm usually in nothing but jeans the scuffs aren't really noticeable. 2007-12-21 11:15:17 Clarks Octavia Reviewer: from Eugene, Oregon Overall: Shoe Size: Felt a half size smaller than marked Shoe Width: Felt narrower than marked Shoe Arch: Moderate arch support This is a really cute, casual shoe that looks like a boot but slips on easily. I followed the advice from the reviews and ordered a half size larger than my normal size cause my feet are slightly wide and other Clark shoes have proven to be a little tight in width and they fir perfectly. They look a little better in the picture than in life (the toe's is a little rounder than I thought) but they are nevertheless a nice looking shoe. 2007-12-20 08:03:01 Clarks Octavia Reviewer: from Bainbridge Island, WA Overall: Shoe Size: Felt a half size smaller than marked Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Excellent arch support Great shoe - Very comfortable, fits my wide, high arched foot very well. Shoe looks more dark brown than black but is still beautiful. Excellent service from Zappos. I originally ordered a 7.5 and had to return for an 8. The exchange was processed at no extra charge to me and I got the size 8 pair the next day. 2007-12-18 06:38:37 Clarks Octavia Reviewer: Anonymous from Baltimore, Maryland Overall: Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Excellent arch support Nice Shoe - Overall very nice shoe. Pretty comfortable, matte finish. Casual. 2007-12-17 06:23:14 Clarks Octavia Reviewer: Anonymous from Salem, Oregon Overall: Shoe Size: Felt a half size larger than marked Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Excellent arch support Great shoe! I hurt my back and have been having quite a time finding a shoe with a heel that is cute and comfortable for hours. This shoe is great! Immediately comfortable. My back loves them and I get lots of compliments. 2007-12-17 05:50:21 Clarks Octavia Reviewer: Susan C from Charlottesville, Virginia Overall: Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Excellent arch support Clarks Octavia - These shoes are very comfortable without losing style. I love Clarks shoes. Also ordering from Zappos is the easiest shopping I've ever done. If you need to return something for a better fit or whatever you just add the return label and drop it in the mail...with no charge...thank you Zappos. 2007-12-13 15:17:58 Clarks Octavia Reviewer: California H from central coast Overall: Shoe Size: Felt a half size smaller than marked Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Moderate arch support LOVE THEM!! I ordered these shoes in black and went up half a size as reviewers recommended. I love them and the fit is perfect. The width is perfect and the heels are perfect. They are a solid black leather with a light orangy-yellow stitching. Look fantastic with long jeans. They actually look like boots with the jeans. I would highly recommend these very, very comfortable and stylish clogs. The black is black. They are a dull non shiny surface black, maybe that is the reason for a couple reviewers saying they are brownish black, I don't know. I don't see that and feel the stitching contrast may possibly be an optical illusion for some... Who knows but these are winners! Try em, I think you'll love em too, but do go up half a size. 2007-12-06 08:11:34 Clarks Octavia Reviewer: Anonymous from San Antonio, TX Overall: Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Moderate arch support Good, quality shoes - This is a comfortable, all around shoe. It looks great with jeans, but could also be worn with most slacks. I personally do not like the shoe with dresses/skirts. It feels good and is an easy slip-on and wear shoe. The only issue I have is the black shoe really looks like dark, chocolate brown. It is not a true black. Oh well, they are great anyways! 2007-12-05 13:59:15 Clarks Octavia Reviewer: S F from St. Charles, IL Overall: Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Excellent arch support A skeptic won over! Yes, I was very skeptical about those reviews that claimed all-day comfort for a mule with this size heel. I was happy to discover they were right! OK, I wouldn't want to walk for miles in them, but for an average day (or night out), they're great. I've gotten tons of compliments on them because they're so attractive & versatile. Dress them up or down. I have them in black and peanut and will just have to ask Santa to bring me the dark brown. 2007-11-22 09:01:42 Clarks Octavia Reviewer: Beth from Alabama Overall: Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Excellent arch support Love shopping at Zappos.com. Almost never have to return anything, but when I do, doesn't cost me a penny! 2007-11-10 04:09:04 Clarks Octavia Reviewer: Anonymous from Ohio Overall: Shoe Size: Felt a half size smaller than marked Peanut Octavia - Have these and absolutely love them. I need a heel, but the balls of feet can't take them anymore. These heels are so very comfortable. Padded sole is wonderful. I LOVE THEM. Cute with jeans. Foot is not too rounded to look childish. I have a narrow foot and they fit with socks; I'm a 5 to 5-1/2 and got the bigger as they are short. The tan color is very versatile and not too light. No clicking of heel as my husband calls horse feet. Super all around. 2007-11-03 19:49:23 Clarks Octavia Reviewer: Susan from Phoenix, AZ Overall: Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Excellent arch support The perfect shoe. Under long jeans these shoes look like a pair of boots. Very comfortable-I wore them on a recent flight and zipped right along-very easy to walk in for such a high heel. The black is not a true black-kind of a soft black. These shoes make me feel sexy!!! 2007-11-01 05:36:26 Clarks Octavia Reviewer: Anonymous from Babylon, New York Overall: Shoe Size: Felt a half size smaller than marked Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Moderate arch support Most comfortable clog ever! I LOVE these shoes. I wear them constantly to work and have experienced no foot pain from the first wearing. For me, that is a remarkable statement.
