I have an older version of these shoes by Clarks; I completely wore them out and LOVED them. They were comfortable, cute and durable. So I purchased these thinking I would have a similar experience. While the style and initial feel is good, I found that after an hour or so of walking/wearing these shoes, they really pinched my feet. The leather is not as soft as I would like and I think that's the primary reason they pinch my feet. Unfortunately, this makes these shoes unwearable and I am planning to return them. I wish they didn't pinch my feet.
