I was looking for a pair of shoes I could wear casually and at the office. My girlfriend suggested Clarks. I am so glad that I decided to buy these. The second day I wore them I walked for a few miles around the city. That is not something I have ever done in a pair of boots that I was breaking in. They were extremely comfortable and the soft sole makes me feel like I am walking on a cloud. They are the most comfortable boot / shoe that I have ever worn. Get them 1/2 size smaller than you normally wear.
