Haul + Review: Orla Kiely for Clarks Barbara Shoes

On sale $99.99 (originally $180)

I got a size 7, which is my true size, although I probably could've sized down to a 6.5. If you read my other reviews (here, here, and here), you'll know I've been having difficulty with the sizing of this collection. For the most part, I think these shoes run long and narrow. This particular pair, however, felt fine width-wise, but once again, too long. I'm afraid sizing down to a 6.5 would make them too narrow, though, so I'm going to stick with my true size. These shoes, along with the Bibis, are the most comfortable out of the entire collection in my opinion.



There's a side buckle.

You can tuck the ends of the buckles underneath the brown and yellow straps as I've done here.

A chained T-strap front.

The hardware on these shoes is actually a rose gold color, something that surprised me. They appeared to be a soft gold color online - I think I like that better, but the rose gold still looks nice.

And of course, the soles are pretty :)

You think so? I think they were reasonably priced for the quality, especially compared to other brands offered at similar price points. I was lucky to get these on sale, though - I think about $80 with a coupon, so that was an awesome deal.
