I am normally size 4 in shoes. I had ordered size 4 directly from manufacturer at sale price but they were very tight. Returned them to my local shop but sadly they did not have a bigger size. I was told that ideally my size in Clarks shoes sholud be size 41/2 . Not to be outdone, I managed to source size 41/2 online. They were a better fit but slightly tight so I am in the process of stretching them. The leather is soft so this shouldn't be too much of a problem. In future I will order size 5 when purchasing shoes from Clarks. That said, these are the loveliest shoes I've ever bought. The colour is beautiful and the laces are a nice dark green colour for contrast. They also came with laces the same colour as the shoes. I am absolutely delighted with these smart shoes even though I had to pay £20 more more than the sale price for the first order. But they were well worth it.I've had a pair of Funny Dream shoes for years and years, but the sole has finally started to wear through, so I was delighted to find that they were still available. My feet are small so they need an inner sole, but they are excellent shoes: comfortable, weatherproof, and I love the colour range. These charmingly came with a choice of aubergine or green laces - what's not to love.Have been buying Clarks Funny Dream since 2003/2004—v.v.v. happy to get the Aubergine Leather model. Thank you to Beggs—the handwritten note in the box was a nice touch.Very very pleased with shoes. Great fit and delivered on time. Thanks. Would use this seller again.Soft leather and very comfortable. Expensive but they will last. I bought aubergine colour and look very nice with jeans. The ties are green and another pair in purple. Amazing
