The Clarks Teadale Rhea shoes claim to have a flexible outsole, however, according to customers, this is not the case. They have a thick sole, mostly due to the high platform and additional heel, so it is to be expected that they are a little bit stiff. Unfortunately, when the sole is rigid like that you need the uppers to have a little more give in them so your feet do not feel like it is locked in a prison and your movements can feel restricted. You want your feet to have the freedom to move as freely and naturally as possible and, unfortunately, that is not the case with these shoes. For the most part, the uppers are also stiff in these shoes which is rather frustrating for many customers. If you purchase one of the styles that come in suede it is a bit more pliable than the leather uppers so you will have a little more flex with those ones.

That being said, the Clarks Teadale Rhea shoes are not too heavy but they do have a little weight to them. Some customers stated that they felt a little heavy but it was not too bad and did not deter them from continuing to wear them. The thick platform and wedge heel are mostly to blame for the extra weight, but many people think that the great looking and feeling shoe is worth that little extra weight.

It is not too heavy but comparatively, they are on the high end of the spectrum for some other casual shoes like these.

As long as you get the correct size and they fit you snugly then you will have a moderate amount of support. They have a lace up closure that is going to lock your feet into place, helping reduce the risk of you sliding around inside of your shoe. The problem, however, is that since the shoes are not very flexible and there is a decent amount of stiffness to them, customers have complained that even with the correct size and perfect fit their heel will pop up and out of the back so the shoes, reducing the amount of support that is offered to you. Keep this in mind while you are out and about and if your heel tends to pop out of your shoe just use caution when you are walking so you do not risk falling.
