This is how shoes should be made

These shoes started out really stiff, but after wearing them several times they are nice and squishy. The wide toe box fits my completely normal feet better than any Nike or Adidas. I've owned a pair of Chucks in the past and they were so uncomfortable that just walking around the grocery store for an hour would kill my feet. These shoes have great style and are comfortable.

I wear an 8 in these shoes, when I usually wear a 7 1/2.  They really conform to the foot, don't slip and slide, provide good traction indoors and out, as well as reasonably good arch support.  Unlike some other shoes, the edges are a bit padded and therefore don't bind.  The shoes wash easily in cold water....but DON'T dry in a dryer, just air dry.  Best of all, they are easy to slip on...that hole at the heel makes it easy to pull them on without having the edge roll on your heel.  This feature is great for the handicapped and elderly who might otherwise have trouble putting on their shoes.

I have five pair in different colors, believe it or not.  The prices vary wildly by color and vendor, but I have found that if amazon.com doesn't have your color one time, they might have it later, so it's worth waiting.

I haven't washed mine many times yet, but I have one concern about the shoes.  One pair that I purchased through eBay (won't do it again) had a small defect that revealed a potential problem.  There is a decorative piece around the shoe right above the sole; it matches the shoe's color, but apparently is constructed from a white rubber cable-like material wrapped in a very, very thin piece of flexible plastic fabric of some sort, almost like a stretchy plastic wrap....that wrapping can be torn (the eBay pair already had a tear, and the material was so flimsy that I couldn't glue it).  However, none of the other pairs I have has had a problem, so I'm just prepared to watch for it and hope.  The shoes have too much going for them to worry about that small eventuality, I think.

Love the shoes, great fit and feel.

Several folks have complained about the leather laces breaking. The laces are a bit on the thin side BUT these are boat shoes. Maybe you do not know how to wear them or forgot. Here are the basic rules:

You tie the laces ONCE (yeah, well once a year maybe...a few times in the beginning). You never tie them tight!

The instep is very far down. These are designed to be slip on shoes. The laces are for all intents and purposes decoration.

Also, notice these are premium LINED shoes. It is made to be worn bare foot. All boat shoes are designed to be worn bare foot.

OK, now that you know how the shoe is supposed to be worn: the few negative complaints now seem rather foolish.

I absolutely love these shoes. If you get them and the straps are too tight put them in the dryer for a few minutes then put them on your feet, they will mold perfectly to your foot. I have been wearing this style for six years now.

I am a shoe guy and I really love these.  Perfect shoes for jeans as well as business casual.  Certainly not a hiking shoe.  They do run big even for Clarks.  I am a true 12-US but I do wear a 13 in some brands.  If I was wearing thin socks with these I would purchase a 11.5 or maybe even an 11 (an 11 may be pushing it).  With that in mind, I tend to wear bulkier socks with these shoes and a 12 worked just fine.  The leather is awesome.  A huge selling point on these is that you can resole them.  Many of the newer shoes, once the sole goes they are ready for the trash.  This even goes for some of the other similar Clarks models.  Not the case with these.  They are well built.  I look forward to reviewing these shoes again in five years since I am confident I will still have them.

These shoes are very classey, and that's exactly how I like it....

The best shoes that fit perfectly my feet.  I do exercise a lot and from experience with the shoes I can tell this will last for a long period of time.  The idea of it being  glued and  Sewed makes is number 1 after the perfect fitting.  The price was right as well.

I have several pairs of Birkenstocks, and I think this product will last the lifetime of the shoes. It only took a small amount to throughly coat the cork bed.

This product is just what I need.  Yes, you have to put it together. It's easy to do if you pay attention to the holes and sequence.  Once together it is very sturdy, no wobbling. It doesn't take up much visual space and does the job for the shoes and slippers.

The shoe has a wide sole so the foot doesn't wash over.  The sole is also rigid so the shoe lends itself to proper walking technique.  There is plenty of toe room in the shoe.

These are really great shoes that can withstand a lot of wear.

the shoes have a simple construction, with just foam soles glued onto fabric foot covers, whereas fancier models from brand name suppliers build air pockets and other constructs into the soles, and cover the bases with harder wearing sheet material, sometimes with leather or suede for part of the foot covers; how much such fabrications add to the longevity of the shoes we can only tell after a period of use; for serious athletic uses you obviously need to buy more sophisticated products, but this pair is perfectly adequate for everyday use, though I find the green colour of the soles somewhat more glaring than it appeared in the photo, and the size a bit larger than what I expected from a 9 (the air balance I bought at the same time did not have the same issue)
