  • My favorites are the Privo Spangle. I get compliments every time I wear them and they are the most comfortable, versatile pair of shoes I own. I will only buy Clark’s or Privo’s from now on. Thanks!

    —By EmilyHodgin on November 4, 2009 at 7:23 pm

  • I would definitely chose the Clark’s Desert Trek. This is a nostalgic move on my part as I went through several pairs of Trek’s in high school.

  • I’d just die if I won the Born Charla boots in Black– they would totally make my wardrobe :D (http://www.onlineshoes.com/womens-born-charla-black-p_id157762)

    —By AgentWoods on November 5, 2009 at 9:02 am

  • I do a lot of travelling to Southern Africa every year- & the Women’s Privo Popcorn shoes are perfect for busy days in rough terrain… So aside from functioning really well on my busy days- they’d definitely fashionably get me through busy days in Africa!

    —By ZIMKIM on November 5, 2009 at 9:10 am

  • The Privo Kernel is the one for me. I am unable to wear heels but these look like they would be “do-able” and sooo comfortable.

    —By Faith Bartlett on November 5, 2009 at 9:40 am

  • A delicious pair of Indigo by Clark’s Sylvie in purple would add style to any outfit (skirts, pants, jeans, dresses) as well as comfort to the around town city commute where not all heels are created equal. Indigo and the Sylvie would keep me looking great AND keep my feet still standing at the end of a long day!

    —By fire4hairlady on November 5, 2009 at 9:55 am

  • Privo Kernel’s are FABULOUS!! You can wear these with cute skirts, slacks, & jeans and walk all over Italy in them. Yessiree Bob!

    —By Mindy on November 5, 2009 at 10:12 am

  • Turns out, I’m an Indigo Girl- Illusion to be exact. These are the perfect booty style boots to go with leggings, skinny jeans and are perfect for class, happy hour or a lovely weekend date night. As a Los Angeles girl new to the hilly city of San Francisco, my wardrobe is in expansion mode with emphasis on classy boots for trecking the hills and looking great.

    —By CityGirl on November 5, 2009 at 2:44 pm

  • http://www.onlineshoes.com/womens-indigo-by-clarks-sylvie-black-leather-p_id156903

    These. THESE would certainly get me fashionably through the day. Look at them! Need I say more?

    —By ElizabethDesiree on November 5, 2009 at 4:46 pm

  • I’d like the Clarks Reel Deal.

    —By Jeremy on November 5, 2009 at 5:46 pm

  • I am on my feet for most of the day. Traditional athletic shoes would be great to wear, but they don’t always match very well with certain outfits. The Privo Bondi is the perfect compromise. It would be comfortable from morning ’til night and has a casual and fun look.

    —By Julie on November 5, 2009 at 8:26 pm

  • If its fall in Wisconsin, a gentleman must have a pair of Clarks Borrego boots to get through the day comfortably and fashionably. Wear them with grey flannel pants and a leather jacket or jeans and a blazer. Chicks will dig you.

    —By eBHutch on November 6, 2009 at 10:33 am

  • Jimmy, I have a pair of Clarks slip-ons that have been a goto shoe for me for years. Looking around, I think the Clarks Escalade would be a solid shoe for work, or play … not so much running. I’d certainly rock them =)

    —By Dan on November 6, 2009 at 1:06 pm

  • Bostonian Pollino’s fit my style. They maintain a stylish yet comfortable look around the open houses and Realtor events I do. They DO maintain a youthful appearance, I love the square toe and I dig the matte leather finish that dresses up my look, but doesn’t formalize it too much.

    —By Knapper on November 6, 2009 at 1:15 pm

  • I love the Clarks Impact style becuase it is a flat heel with pretty style. The bow is modern looking and the colors are so pretty its hard to pick just one, so I would buy several. It’s the perfect mix of style and comfort.

    —By rleer on November 9, 2009 at 5:13 am

  • Selling shoes for a living, it’s an expectation of mine to exhibit fashionable footwear on a daily basis. The Desert boot is one of the most exciting shoes for men I’ve seen in a while. And being branded with the Clarks name screams comfort. Can’t wait to slip those babies on.

    —By Joel on November 9, 2009 at 7:13 am

  • ‘clarks cobra’ because it looks so laid back and comfortable.

    —By g.murphy on November 9, 2009 at 6:40 pm

  • I’m so glad I’ve found Onlineshoes.com. My local shoe store stopped stocking my favorite shoe and you have them. The Clark’s Portland has not only been a comfortable daily shoe, it has brought significant relief to my chronic plantar faciitus. I am indebted to the comfort (and style) of a lightweight shoe that I can wear to work, church and play tennis in (who says you can’t look and feel good playing tennis? . . . I expect it to catch on).

    —By Vince on November 10, 2009 at 5:43 am

  • I’m a newcomer to Clarks, but I’m sold. I think the Showstopper is the shoe for me. Living in NYC, I’m hitting the pavement all day long, and this shoe will cushion the impact and look great at the same time.

    —By Saroesti on November 10, 2009 at 6:20 am

  • I would definitelylike to try the Nan clog. I am a nurse on my feet ALL day and I’d like to have a shoe that is stylish yet comfortable on my feet because my feet hurt ALL the time.

    —By goathead97 on November 10, 2009 at 6:22 am

  • I long for the return of Clarks Metti–pretty, elegant pumps that are comfortable all day long.

    —By auroraleigh on November 10, 2009 at 7:56 am

  • I would love many of them but my two favorite are Kara Rose and Sylvie!

    —By bsridd on November 10, 2009 at 8:00 am

  • When my husband was recently asked “how long does the doctor say you need to wear those shoes?” for a pair of shoes that are worn and outdated, he realized he needs a new stylish pair of casual shoes. The Clarks Escalade would help him with his sense of fashion.

    —By lhintz on November 10, 2009 at 8:58 am

  • the Clarks Borrego’s look nice

    —By joe h on November 10, 2009 at 9:17 am

  • As Clark users for oh so many years, my husband with his desert boots and me with endless pairs of clogs, I can’t imagine any other shoe for daily wear. If I could only remember the name of my absolutely favorite sandal style, I would implore the company to remake them. Your success testifies to the constant comfort of your product and I’ve converted many a friend to believers. Thanks for all of it.

    —By Carolyn L on November 10, 2009 at 10:39 am

  • I adore the Clarks Flirty tall black boots! So cute! I would wear them relentlessly!

    —By heatheranne99 on November 10, 2009 at 11:18 am

  • It isn’t possible to have too many sandals here in the desert, so Clarks Sunchants would be my first choice.

    —By visperson on November 10, 2009 at 11:37 am

  • I love anything Privo. I already own 3 pairs.

    —By PatZ on November 10, 2009 at 12:35 pm

  • Clarks Zarcon are “HEAVENLY” when bought through Onlineshoes.com

    I have a black pair!! A brown pair would be SOOOOO…Heavenly!!

    —By jerryp44 on November 10, 2009 at 2:11 pm

  • Last year I was in school, training to be a teacher. Clarks got me through in style!!! Now, Clarks are my daily teacher shoes. I’ll take the Clarks Cairo to replace my old, worn out black ones…

    —By ebuccino on November 10, 2009 at 4:06 pm

  • The Clark cowley wide navy shoe would be a great start to the holiday season.

    —By 9string on November 10, 2009 at 4:07 pm

  • Since I was a child, I’ve had a lot of trouble finding shoes to fit and feel good. In my late 40s, I began suffering from heel pain. A friend suggested I try a pair of Clark shoes. I bought a pair at OnlineShoes.com and was amazed at how well they fit and how wonderful they made my feet feel. Better than my slippers! I have two pairs now, but they have seen better days. I am unemployed and am needing a nice looking pair of shoes for job interviews. I would love to spend my days in a pair of Clarks Dynamic Drive shoes, to give me the “dynamic drive” I need to keep hitting the pavement in style and, most importantly, in comfort. Thanks, Clarks. My feet are so much happier now!

    —By mcruley on November 10, 2009 at 4:20 pm

  • Indigo Clarks Delirium would comfortably look great with my black skinny jeans and black toptank.

    —By lizza on November 10, 2009 at 4:26 pm

  • I adore Clark’s pumps! Since I have discovered how comfortable and beautiful they are, they are all I want to wear. I would love to have a pair of Diamond Sparkle to complete my wardrobe!!

    —By Carol on November 10, 2009 at 4:53 pm

  • I have had 6 pairs of Clarks Sunbeat so far. The first 2 pairs I had until the soles started to come off – I wondered where the little pieces of rubber were coming from on my carpet then noticed the shoes were coming apart from OVERUSE!! I have since bought several more pairs – soooo comfortable!!!

    —By nmwalz on November 10, 2009 at 5:03 pm

  • My favorite shoes is the Privo Bondi and they look so comfortable. They would be great shoes to chase my kids around in when I’m outside.

    —By Shilo Beedy on November 10, 2009 at 8:04 pm

  • Clarks Ella Grace for an added dark and cozy height.

    —By she on November 11, 2009 at 4:00 am

  • My fave is The Indigo Sylvie

    —By vibrantfun on November 11, 2009 at 8:07 am

  • My favorite is Clarks “Sugar Spice”. You can wear them with just about anything!

    —By kgatewood on November 11, 2009 at 8:47 am

  • I have always loved Clark sandals, but the Clark shoes, which I only recently discovered in the past couple of years are a wardrobe must have for the workplace. “I love my Clark’s”

    —By BJ on November 11, 2009 at 10:05 am

  • The Privo Bondi look really cute and comfortable. I love Mary Janes.

    —By kathyo1999 on November 11, 2009 at 11:20 am

  • Clarks Showstopper looks like it would really be a comfortable everyday shoe.

    —By Suzanne on November 11, 2009 at 11:40 am

  • I love the Privo Barclay! :)

    —By loftinm on November 11, 2009 at 11:41 am

    —By Linda Bresinski on November 11, 2009 at 11:58 am

  • I love shopping through onolineshoes.com. I recently bought 2 pair of Clarks Bagels, in brown and black. They are dressy enough for work and comfortable enough when walking or standing for long periods. (I have chronic back problems and need comfort) My next purchase will be Clarks Prickly Ash boots, they look like great boots for weekend errands.

    —By Severn219 on November 11, 2009 at 1:26 pm

  • The Clarks Sunbeat are the only shoe my mother can currently wear. With foot problems and one part of her foot narrower than the other she is able to buckle these shoes for the perfect fit. I wish I was able to buy her a pair in every color.

  • I have a pair of Clarks clogs that are great. They’re comfortable and last.

    —By pshleffar on November 11, 2009 at 9:33 pm

  • The Clarks Diamond Trust in black suede and patent would fashionably get me through my day. Plus I just bought a great handbag that would go great with them!

    —By katmagick on November 12, 2009 at 9:39 am

  • Clarks
    M Wallabee Boot
    My husband has worn Wallabees forever! He has worn them since the 80’s and loves how they feel. Honestly, he has even worn them while up doing a roof- he is a carpenter. He says they are the best ’sticking’ boots he has ever worn! Now thats saying something!

    —By tannawings on November 12, 2009 at 7:09 pm

  • I would love the original clark’s, I actually own, clarks, indigos and privos and love them all.

    —By bonnieandmickey on November 13, 2009 at 10:33 am

  • Would love a pair of Privo Nahla. Looks like they’d slide on quick and easy; which is two wonderful words for a Mom of a one-year-old!

    —By Audra Weathers on November 13, 2009 at 12:32 pm

  • I would love the Privo Claudia. Due to an injury, it’s difficult for me to wear dressier shoes, but these look very comfortable as well as stylish.

    —By Scully32 on November 13, 2009 at 5:48 pm

  • The Privo Lindie is The most comfortable shoe I’ve worn. They can be worn barefoot(more comfy) or with socks. Very well made and, did I say, comfortable.

    —By lovespurple on November 13, 2009 at 10:21 pm

  • Clark’s are the best when it comes to style and comfort. Whenever I need a shoe, I always go to clark’s first to see if they have what I need.

    —By kas on November 14, 2009 at 7:09 am

  • The Clarks Sugar Sky would get me thru this fall season.

    —By sunchicka on November 14, 2009 at 1:27 pm

  • I love the privo luca. I’ve been wanting these shoes forever, since they look great and i think they would be super comfortable for me standing all day in the OR and look pretty sweet with my scrubs. Tough choice though, because the zanzibar from the indigo line would be cute for a date night with my man out on the town.

    —By mmm384 on November 14, 2009 at 3:09 pm

  • I love the Clarks Madison Jack shoes. Thanks for the giveaway!

    —By Lisa on November 14, 2009 at 4:23 pm
