Recommend a pair of sandals that are comfortable to walk in and not TOO casual?

Yep, I've got a pair of Clarks on my possible list. I seem to recall trying on Clarks in the past and needing to size down 1/2 size. For those of you who wear Clarks, was that your experience? I see that ny biker says it was hers.

Thanks!

I wear a 7 in most street shoes but will size up to 7.5 in running shoes or hiking shoes to give myself tons of toe space to avoid any chance of black toenail (been there, done that). However, in sandals, I am often a 6.5. Seems when I did try on Clarks in a store a couple of years ago, the 6.5s came the closest to fitting. Not sure if it was just that particular model or not...
