Shopper Reviews
Back at Clarks, the Nalle Zen trainers have an overall star-rating of 4.8 out of five based on 50 reviews. One satisfied shopper said: "Absolutely love these shoes. Ordered a second pair in a different colour." Another wrote: "Love these shoes. I've bought a few pairs of Nalle shoes. Very comfy and robust. Love the zip. I'm normally a size 5 but find I have to get a 5½ in Clarks."
"I’m totally pleased with my purchase," a third penned. "They fit and feel really well. I’m thinking on getting another pair." One shopper gave a three-star review, saying: "Nice trainers and seemed comfortable, but way too expensive for what they are, even in the sale." A four-star review reads: "Like them for the style and price when on sale. Nice comfortable footbed with some arch support. Even though I got a wide width, it not much wider than some of my other brand of shoes with a medium width."
Another shopper added: "I love these, the trainers are so cute. I get compliments all the time, people want to know the brand where I purchased them. The best part is they are so comfortable and skid-resistant, which I have to wear to work. I am tired of wearing black all the time, I just love them." A further five-star review reads: "I'm happy with these shoes! They fit perfectly and I love the colour; very well made."
