My guy wore them for work (8 hrs standing and walking daily) and they held up for about 3 months. Not what we were expecting from Clarks. The arch support started to blow out after 2 months and the shoes actually started falling apart inside and out at barely the 4 month mark, so they were unusable at that point. Switched to Dansko (lasted about 4 1/2 months comfortably). Now he's wearing Dr. Scholl's gel work shoes with Dr. Scholl's orthotic inserts and those lasted about 5 1/2 months, so we're on the right track, lol.
