Clarks Sphinx SKU #7432162(View on Zappos.com Classic)

I just finished ordering another pair from Zappos. I found them to be extremely comfortable and lightweight. They are a little tight on the first wearing but break in after a day. However, I must point out that the soles on these shoes are NOT built for durability and longevity. In fact, the soles on my first pair wore down in 6-9 months, and I don't do much walking since I'm mostly desk bound at work. Nevertheless, after trying various other brands of oxford shoes I'll stick with the Clark's Sphinx Moc toe oxford because of the comfort. By the way, the shoes seem to run a 1/2 size larger than listed. I normally wear a 10.5-11, but I require a size 10 in the Clarks.

The Sphinx was comfortable right out out of the box. The toe space is great, yet the heel does not slip. The only mild complaint so far is that the lines in the shoe sole pick up gravel.

These are great shoes…I'm on my feet all day and these shoes keep my feet from aching and give the best support.

Very comfortable shoe especially since I walk/run 2 to 3 miles in a day. I am very pleased with this shoe and would recommend it to anyone. I have relatively flat feet and the arch does not bother me either whereas on other shoes the arch is very painful.

One of the most comfortable shoes I've ever worn! Very nice-looking also. Wide size perfect for me!

A Lightweight Walking Shoe with Style. This Clarks shoe actually fits my foot better than the Escalade, which I prized as my best-fitting pair of shoes. I realize a great deal of this is luck, since bespoke shoe making is something most of us will never experience. We all get shoes made according to average foot sizes, and specifications vary from company to company, model to model and even shoe to shoe. But I sure lucked out with this pair. They fit snugly yet feel like a slipper. Heel does not slide side to side or up and down. No weird rubbing or pressure points. Toe box allows secure fit without constriction. On top of that, this may be the lightest rubber-soled lace-up that Clarks makes. It appears to have the stuff to wear the Clarks label, but with even lighter weight than usual. This pays great dividends down the road. As your day wears on, the lighter your shoes, the less fatigue you will experience. Combined with my pair's great fit on my hard-to-fit foot and good support in all important areas including arch and you have a really great everyday shoe. Plus it has better looks than your average pair of Clarks. Looks like a modified classic boat shoe moc profile, with a bit of the Clarks comfort profile built in. A good looker from classic "ugly shoe" maker Clarks.

I am very pleased with my new pair of Clarks Sphinx. As with all Clarks, they are soft and comfortable right out of the box. I will be wearing these shoes on a one week trip to Europe and know that I will be pleased with their performance. You just can't go wrong with Clarks! I found this same pair at a local retail shoe warehouse for about a little bit cheaper, but the store only had the wide width which was not right for my foot. I ordered the medium width from Zappos at 6PM yesterday and received my shoes before 1PM today. Wow! How's that for fast delivery? And the shipping was free! Not to mention that my transaction was tax-free! Well done Zappos! You've got a customer for life! You are setting the standard for customer service.

Clarks Sphinx - Beautiful shoes, much, much lighter than usual Clarks. I can walk longer before I begin feeling my feet hot; comfortable yet I´d prefer a little more arch support. Perfect to introduce my own orthotics. Well done Clarks!
