These are the most comfortable dress shoes I have ever owned. I ride the train and metro to work so I have to do lots of walking and climbing steps. My knees and feet were taking a beating. I started wearing athletic shoes for the commute and change into dress shoes at work. That helped a little but since I work in a large building with tiled floors, I was still in pain.  After hearing my complaints everyday, my wife took me to a Clarks store while we were on vacation. She had always gotten good results from their shoes. I bought a brown pair of these shoes but did not expect them to be much better than other brand named shoes I've owned. However, after wearing them a couple of weeks when I returned home, I was amazed with the comfort. I was able to wear them all day, including the commute, without a problem. I love them so much that I decided to buy a black pair of this style  at my local store but they cost more than I paid at the store while on vacation. Thankfully, I was able to find them on Amazon, in the correct width, at a lower price.  The shoes arrived as scheduled and fit perfectly.  I even walk longer distances now.  If you are near a Clarks store, try on a pair to get your correct size a width. Then, find out where you can get the best price and buy a pair. You will not be disappointed!!
