4.0 out of 5 stars
Pretty darn cute, December 16, 2008
Normally I wear size 9 dress shoe, but I had to go up a full size (10) to get these to fit. I have a wider forefoot and felt that the area was too tight with the size 9 & 9.5. I think the shoe runs a bit narrow anyway. Love the elastic around the heel, makes sure the shoe stays put! Purple suede color is perfect for fall/winter and these are decently comfortable for flats. I wouldn't walk around the city all day in them, but for a party or casual Fridays, they're excellent!

A great shoe for the money, February 6, 2009
This review is from: indigo by Clarks Women's Pallino Flat (Apparel)
I wear a 6.5 in most BCBG (which usually run a half size big) and a 7 in most other shoes--puma, adidas, franco, tommy, aigner--once in a while I wear a 7.5.
This was my first pair of Indigo or Clark shoes so I ordered the black leather in both a 7 and a 7.5 (6.5 wasn't avaliable). I honestly couldn't decide which size to keep! In the end I kept the 7.5 because I liked the way shoe fit around the ball of my foot, which is usually sore. If I had it to do over I think I would go with the 7 because I have quite a lot of room (1/2-3/4 inch) between my big toe and the top of the shoe in the 7.5. Still, the shoe doesn't slip or look too big because the elastic around the entire opening keeps it comfortably in place. Anyway, I would say the shoe runs true to size, and if you order a half size up I think you'll be fine too.
As far as comfort goes, these shoes have a lot more cushion/support than most flats I have seen, but they are not like eccos by any means (on a 1-10 scale I would rate an ecco a 9.5 and this shoe a 6.5).
The sole on this shoe has a couple layers which, beginning inside the shoe, are as follows:
thin (probably leather) liner inside the shoe--embroidered `indigo' logo
1/8" foam that lines the entire sole
1/16" flexible black plastic inside the shoe that thins as it approaches the toe, and disappears before the ball of the foot
1/16" a more durable pink foam-ish substance runs parallel to the black plastic
outsole:
foam 1/4" that thins as it approaches the toe, and disappears before the ball of the foot
rubber 1/4" across the entire shoe--thins to ~1/8" as it comes toward the toe
This shoe is a good purchase-- though it won't make sore feet feel better, it has enough cushion not to aggravate foot pain. I didn't notice an arch in this shoe, but I have a pretty high arch. Good luck!

Cute flat, March 31, 2009
This review is from: indigo by Clarks Women's Pallino Flat (Apparel)
This a cute shoe.I ordered the tomato suede ones in a size 7.They are a saturated orangey red.I normally wear a smaller size 6 1/2 in flats than my size 7 regular shoes, but ordered up because of the reviews.I should have ordered my normal size.While the 7s aren't too big to wear,I should have ordered my normal size 6 1/2.There is about 1/2-3/4 inch of extra space in the toe.I just ordered the copper leathers in a 6 1/2 and while Im sure they will fit a tad snug,these shoes are sure to give a some with wear.I think the reason why they rub the back of your foot like some have said is because people are ordering up a size giving your foot room to slide around.
Now I have fairly wide feet but I do NOT suggest going up more than a 1/2 size.Had I gone up to a 7 1/2,They would have been way too big.These shoes are shallow not narrow or small,so going up wont help that.Going up just gives you more room in the toe.Maybe taking out the insole will make the shoe deeper.
I like the elastic rim which kind of looks like ruffles.This is the best price on these shoes on the web and for this price,I plan to get a few more colors.Good buy.
