Clarks Women's Adriel Viola Dress Pump

I bought these shoes after my dog chewed up an identical pair I had bought at a shoe retailer in November. I was pleased to find these, as they were the same shoe I had previously purchased but much cheaper. Once they came in I inspected these shoes side by side with my old pair and these are NOT the same shoe that’s shown in the photo online. On the outside they look nearly identical, but when looking at the sole I realized the Amazon shoe did not have the “soft cushion” like my others did. As you can tell from the photo, my older pair looks like the photo that’s advertised, but the shoe received was not the same. Will be returning and buying at the same shoe retailer bought at before. On another note, the real version of these shoes is extremely comfortable and one of my favorite shoes I’ve ever bought, but these Amazon shoes are a huge disappointment.

I have been searching and have found the most comfortable pump. I used to wear a lot of heels in my 20 now in my 40 not so much. Im a sneaker girl. So for the company Christmas party, I had to hunt for the most comfortable pump. I tried Rockport seven to 7, Naturalizer Michelle and a few others. Dont get me wrong the others were ok but these were the comfiest. Rockports kept slipping off my foot in the heel even when downsizing. Naturalizers were uncomfortable and no sizes fit right. Needless to say, I had a bunch of boxes to return to Amazon. Save time and start with this when looking for a great heel.

I have 2 pairs of the predecessor of this pump (Clarks Brier Dolly) in a size 9 and I LOVE them. Now that they are discontinued, I was looking for something similar. I bought the Adriel Voila pumps in a size 9 and was very disappointed that they didn’t fit like my other Clarks pumps. They were definitely too small and my pinky toes were shoved into the side of the toe boxes. Thanks to Amazons awesome return policy, I was able to return for a half size up... lo and behold, the 9.5 fit PERFECTLY. I would recommend sizing up a half size or buying both your normal size and a half size up and seeing how they fit. As for the day to day wear of these pumps, they are AMAZINGLY comfortable. I do a lot of running around during my workday: at the office, in and out of my car, around different facilities, and I always take the stairs. These shoes hold up and don’t hurt my feet during my hectic day, even up and down 3-5 flights of stairs several times a day! The platform helps to make the heel height more manageable and the rubber sole prevents slippage - I’ll never understand why so many companies make pumps with such slippery soles, it’s just not practical. Also, it’s difficult to see from the pictures, but there is padding at the heel of the shoe, where your Achilles tendon contacts the shoe. This is often a point of pain for some high heel wearers so the cushioning definitely helps prevent that. There are only 2 small things I’d like to see with the next iteration of this shoe: 1) I would prefer the platform be hidden and 2) MORE COLORS! I’d buy 10 pairs of this pump if I could get some different colors and textures.

Very comfortable, I am glad I bought these. The padding inside is super soft. They are right on trend with the slightly pointed, slightly rounded toe and chunkier heel, and theyre very well made. Im sure I will wear them for a long time! If I have one complaint, its that they might be a little loose (not too big, but loose around the foot). My feet slide down to the front when I wear them with nylons resulting in numb toes if I stand too long. However, this is often the case with patent leather shoes (because they tend to be a "hard shell") so I would still recommend them!

Perfect Fit (Second pair)! I returned the same pair for a 1/2 size larger than I normally wear. Very comfortable. Ive worn them to work and my feet were comfortable all day. I was skeptical ordering shoes online and Im not completely convinced this is how you should buy shoes (I still believe in the people factor) but I was delighted to find out there was no charge for returning the pair that didnt fit (plus Amazon sent a reminder to return the shoes and provided a return label). I will definitely buy another pair of Clarks from Amazon now that I know what size I wear.
