These shoes have no heel cushioning. The footbed is not leather, and most of the inside of the shoe is man-made material.<br /><br />It feels cheap, and it is not what I expected. I have bought Clarks Artisan line in the past, and the leather was soft inside and good quality. I am very disappointed in these shoes.<br /><br />Unfortunately, I didn't realise how flat the footbed was until I walked to work with them, so I can't return them.  I'm going to buy an insole to make them more comfortable.<br /><br />They look good though, so I hope the insole works out.
