User Reviews
These are really nice shoes. I had to return the first pair (size 10.5 regular) as they were tight on the sides of my toes. The wide size are a better fit. Really nice cushion and support. Look good with slacks or khakis. I intend to wear these more in the office so I'm not sure how the wear will compare to more use outdoors. Good price and quality appearance.
It’s Clarks! Very comfortable just like wearing running shoes . Worthwhile to buy at the discounted price. Size fits my feet. Highly recommended
Comfortable and well made; worked out great for me. I have size 13 feet and they were true to size whereas a lot of shoes run small. These are a little more narrow than the shoes I have been purchasing and that's a good thing for me.
Casual dress
I’m always apprehensive about buying footwear online, but these shoes fit according to my usual size. They are good looking shoes and I hope they last as long as my as my previous Clark’s.
Pleased with quality of product
Comfortable shoes
After wearing Rockport World Tour Classics for many years, I tried these Clark's. (I had been disappointed with the drop in quality and comfort and increasing price of the Rockport's in recent years.) I found the Clark's to be very comfortable, with a lighter weight and lower price than the Rockport shoes. The Clark soles were softer and the shoes initially did very well while walking on sidewalks and improved trails. However, after a few months (walking 3 to 4 miles daily) the soles had worn down noticeably, losing all the tread they initially had. At this point traction was very poor on smooth or wet surfaces, to the point of my slipping on multiple occasions. Also, the leather uppers scratched and tore easily. The Clark's did continue to be very comfortable, but the drawbacks noted above convinced me that they were not a good choice for the type of regular walking I was doing.
