User Reviews
It is the best casual leather shoes on the market in my opinion because it’s style, price, and more importantly the quality. I bought two of this in brown and black for both casual wear outside and in office.
These are now my most comfortable shoes for walking in the city. They are incredibly cushioned. The soles are a little thick, so that takes some getting used to so that I don't twist my ankle "falling" off of them, but the tradeoff in comfort is definitely worth it. I wore them for three days on a business trip where I did a lot of walking. I'm so glad I did. I also think the styling works well for casual amd slightly dressed up casual attire. I also like that they lace securely and are waterproof.
This is a great shoe but I'm so bummed: I ordered this shoe in 14, I have many other Clarks Wave shoes in that size. Unfortunately, this model runs closer to 1/4 inch short.Otherwise the shoe seems great, high quality, super comfortable and soft, and I just love the Wave shoes. But it's just a touch too short for my giant feet (and apparently doesn't come in 15).
The shoes are somewhat noisy on the floor when I walk. The rubber soles are hard and it may be my gait that's causing the noise. Sounds like boots when I walk. I didn't like the thick cushion insoles and changed them to thin / stiff insoles which I like better and gave my foot more room. The pair I bought were around $60 and a very good deal at that price. Cheaper than tennis shoes. Only wore 1/2 day so can't tell how comfortable they will be for extended periods. I will update my review in a week after wearing.
I've been wearing these shoes for two weeks. They are solid and not uncomfortable. However, if you like to walk long distances frequently, you might want to think twice as they are a little too heavy for Clarks standarts. They are actually not bad, but I suggest you consider buying them if they go on real sale.
Very comfy shoes to wear all day long
I previously ordered size 9 W and found it to be larger than other Clarks shoes that I have previously purchased in size 9 W that fit me perfectly. So, I reordered the shoes in size 8.5 W and they fit well. I mention this because the shoe appears to be sized about 1/2 size too large.Otherwise, it is a superbly made shoe, extremely well-cushioned, and waterproof. It will, however, take some time to break them in.
Purchased this shoe, as have used Clarks shoes. This shoe is too heavy and have got very poor cushioning. Would have returned, but took the tags off and walked few steps on concrete. Obviously, so can not be returned.After used for a day, found to have pain at ankles, sole of the foot. Not happy with this product.
