I own an earlier model of this Poem shoe - it's well-constructed and very comfortable.  It's lasted several years with regular wear.  I ordered a new pair thinking that I would receive the same quality - unfortunately, the newer Poem model is vastly inferior.  The interior is now a cheaply dyed material that will transfer all over your feet and shoe liner, if you use one.  The previous model had a cushion around the heel area that prevented my heel from receiving blisters.  The newer model is missing this cushion and I had terrible, bleeding blisters from my very first wear.  (I never received blisters from the older pair - even when they were new.)  I've noticed a decline in quality in Clarks shoes recently - unfortunately this shoe is a sad example of this decline.
