Clarks Women's Orinoco Spice Ankle Boots

These are great boots. They are leather - the ones I have are the matte black. The fit is perfect for me as I have a shallow instep and usually need boots laced up tight (I don't with these). The side zip makes it easier to get them on (although this part was quite snug, even for me) and you don't have the faff of undoing the laces. However, if you are anything above a slim to standard width I think these boots would be too tight unless you buy a wide fitting. I normally find a 7.5D fits in a Clarks shoe, but bought these in an 8D as it was all they had and they are perfect.The leather is soft but there is plenty of support and the boots are quite sturdy. I have worn these for work and been on my feet for eight hours in them and found them comfortable. They were a good price too, compared to Clarks own website.

Wife loves these. Spot on her 6 1/2 size. Leather is stiff and she has stored in the airing cupboard overnightTo get it warm.. and then the boots were so much softer as leather cold and hard from being stored.Fit well in the ankle. Quite a slender fit but keep the foot square on and stop movement in the foot which she needed due to foot issues.....recommended....love the black best...looks spot on!

I often buy Clarks brogues and they fit me well with only a short period of wearing in required, so I thought I'd try the boots. They look great and were incredibly good value. They are a little tighter than expected over the widest part of the toes, so I wonder if I need a wider fit. I massaged the leather as soon as I got them and put hard objects in the toes to stretch them out and that has helped. I also loosened the laces over the toes and tightened them over the ankles for a better fit. Only been to the shops and back once and worn them around the house but so far, so good. I can feel they might give me blisters at the heels if I walk much further and the leather still pinches over the toes where the boot bends, so I will wear them in more. I have other boots much the same, of a different make, and those have fake fur and/or soft, woolly material on the insides, adding to the warmth. The Clarks boots are much like the brogues in terms of the insoles and insides of the boot, with no fur or soft material, so not especially warm but fine in the winter with two pairs of socks. I applied waterproofing spray, just in case but they look like they will keep the rain out. They will come in handy when I finally wear through my other boots and I can see myself wearing them every day.

Very nice boots, soft and sturdy. Sized up following the reviews and fit well. A bit heavy but overall would recommend

I've had these nearly 10 years now and they're still like new even though I wear them all the time. Like all good boots, you need to break them in, they most likely won't be comfortable until you do, but once you do they are very comfortable.A bit of the inner leather at the top isn't real (the rest is) and some of that wore away a bit, but it's really not a problem, you can't see it and it was more decorative than functional anyway. You'll be getting these resoled every 10 years and asking your grandkids if they want you to leave them to them in the will.Clarks: please make them in more colours.

These boots are great when I finally got them.Colour is great the laces had to be loosened off before putting my feet in them as the fit seems narrow and they are stiff but they will soften up the more they are worn, my 12yr old has taken to them too and has asked for a pair.My only massive annoyance was delivery I pay for prime I have had alsorts of items delivered but this particular evening around 5.20pm the delivery driver came up the street and delivered my boots to an empty house but to my annoyance said he’d left them with a receptionist or something and the name of the house.we ended up looking around the street for the boots I was very annoyed and finding them outside someone’s front door as I live in a village where there is no hotels etc so no way would they have been left with a “ receptionist”Least I have the boots but don’t like the fact the driver lied about the delivery.

I was SO looking forward to receiving these boots (I was so in love with them online that I bought TWO pairs!!) - but what a disappointment?!!!I'll start with the 'BAD'....THEY ARE RIDICULOUSLY SMALL!I have worn Clarks footwear - of all shapes and styles - in 7.5D, for YEARS! To allow for thicker socks, and having read a lot of reviews saying they came up small/narrow, I ordered a size 8 (8wide not available, and 9 seemed excessive).I felt like an 'ugly sister', trying to force my feet into a boot that felt like it was a size 6!!!!Wore them around the house for HOURS trying to warm them up and to stretch them a bit but the the LENGTH was ALWAYS going to be too short....Finally gave in and, with a broken heart, returned both pairs!!😥😥BUT... I must say, they are GORGEOUS BOOTS!! Albeit a bit stiff! This would obviously soften in time, so not a problem for me.I LOVED the fact that you could customise the fit with the laces, and then pop them on and off using the side zip - genius!They look great - really wanted the chunky military look, but with a feminine twist- and these boots are just that. The shape of the toe means they don't look particularly 'manly'.. !!Overall, I was HUGELY disappointed at the FIT of these boots - NOT a 'classic' sizing, they felt like they weren't sized for the european market - but the style and design are BEAUTIFUL!!!Although they weren't built for ME don't let that put you off! If you have a NARROW foot, give them a go!!!

Fit perfectly. Very comfortable. Not a single blister. Not even a sore spot. All round perfection for an ankle boot! So much so that I bought 3 different colours.
