A very well made shoe. To be expected of Clarkes. However if you have a higher instep then they arent great! Like converse all stars. If your foot is flat then they feel ideal. But not if you have a higher instep!<br /><br />I dont like that the welt(stitching) goes all the way around..reason being it doesnt really hug your heel like a half welt pair of shoes do, example-cowboy boots. Which doesnt make the support in the heel area feel great.<br /><br />The soles are very good and comfortable, however depending on your needs it's something to think about.<br /><br />Good quality leather and a fairly light shoe. If you're flat footed and dont care for a shoe that hugs your heel, then they are a decent buy. However like most things in this world, are you forking your money out for a product or a name?  Or are there better alternatives!
