These boots are what I was looking for in a Chelsea Boot. The best part of the Clarks Cologne Arlo 2 boot is the look. They can be worn dressed up or dressed down and I wear them with skirts, jeans, and leggings. They are wide width, bunion friendly and have removable insoles. The boots have a leather upper, rubber sole and leather-lined footbed with arch support. I find these boots to have medium arch support and wear my custom orthotics on days that I’m walking a lot for added arch support. The small ¾ inch heel is comfortable for my feet.
Clarks has stores in malls, but their wide-width shoe selection is limited so I usually try on a regular version of the shoe and then decide if I’m going to order the wide width size. I tried these boots on in size 8 M in the store and they were not wide enough for my bunions. I ordered and kept the 8 Wide because the width of the 7 ½ Wide was too narrow (but the 7 ½ Wide length was long enough for my feet). Even in the 8 Wide size you can see a slight outline of my bunion sticking out in the pictures but it’s minimal, and the boot does not irritate my bunions. So, size up a half-size in wide versions of these boots. If you have very wide feet, these boots may be too narrow for you, even in the wide version.
