Clarks Womens SUNBEAT Sandal

I use to love my Clarks Sunbeat Sandals.Now they are made in China, instead of England, and they are poor quality.The leather isn''t the same high quality, the workmanship is lacking.I will no longer be buying them anylonger.

This shoe may work well for you if this is your first pair of "Sumbeat". The style is there but it''s just not executed well. Many years ago, I had 2 pair of all leather "Sunbeat". The ankle-strap was adjustable and the insole was leather. The sole was less rigid and light-colored. This current model has none of these qualities and did not meet my expectations so I returned it.

I purchased these shoes because I have another pair of the same brand and style tha I love.These shoes were smaller than the other and the foot bed is less cushioned.The back strap is too far forward, so it pushs your toes past the edge, while leaving too much space at the heel.Very Disappointed.

I have these exact sandals from 3-4 years ago, and they are now wearing out, so wanted to replace them, since I like them so much.I saw from other reviews that some people complained that they are now made in China.I checked my old pair, and they were made in China as well, so that did not concern me.When I received them, although they were cut identically, the material for the upper did not seem to be the same.I initially thought they were a thinner cut of leather, but on closer inspection, I saw the tight woven pattern inside, so realized they are not leather uppers at all.They are clearly stamped "Made in China", and "leather upper".I accept that in order to compete on price Clarks now needs to manufacture in China; however, advertising as "leather upper" for a synthetic material is a new low.The cut is identical to the older pair, but with the synthetic material upper there is no give to the cut at the toe edge, unlike a leather pair.

I sent these back on principle today I will not support a manufacturer who lies about the materials on the products.Clarks needs to either go back to a leather product or advertise these as the synthetic uppers that they are. Although Clarks has been a favorite of mine for more than 30 years, I will not be buying shoes from them in the future unless they correct this issue.

Sunbeat sandals used to be the only shoe I would wear, because they were the only ones comfortable to my oddly shaped feet. I gave them a five star review, which I am now forced to edit.

The 2011 version is now made in China, not England. The leather is thick and stiff, and after walking a mile, I now have blisters---unheard of with the old sunbeats!!! The straps are shortened just enough that they will not stay in the buckle when on the last hole. Everything about this years sunbeat screams "CHEAP".

It is really too bad that some fat-assed executive sitting in his leather chair on the 29th floor, has put short term profit ahead of quality, ruining the best shoe thousands of people have ever worn.
