Boot is very comfortable and looks great with jeans and slacks. More suited for casual, business casual versus dressy. Like there is no seam on top of toe. Good support. Heel is good height, solid, but not clunky.

Comfort and Looks - I was pleasantly surprise to find these shoe/boots were very comfortable and looked much better on my feet than I had expected. The only concern is that, because they were very true to size, I should have ordered them a half size larger to accommodate heavier socks when it is cold. Heel height is great and overall they are really cute.

Great shoe! These boots are stylish and comfortable. I danced for several hours on a boat with them on and my feet didn't suffer a bit!

Clarks Altoona - I was looking for a comfortable and classy looking boot. I found it in the Altoona. The sole is flexible and insole slightly padded. The fit is just right. It was a tad tight when I first put it on, but stretched within a few minutes.

Altoona! I love this boot. Very comfortable and looks very nice, and I can tell that it is made well. One thing that I am wondering is, does anyone else notice that the left one is bigger than the right one? Maybe it is just my feet. I did have to get a half size smaller than my normal shoe size for them to fit well. Otherwise they are great.

I love these boots! I really do love these boots. Initially, I purchased a 9 1/2 size boot, but there were too big so I exchanged for a size 9 and I'm quite happy with the fit. These boots are comfy for every day wear. I like them so much that I much purchase a black pair.

Cute boot! I really like this boot. It is comfortable and cute. I had no problems wearing the Clarks Altoona all day. I don't normally like to spend so much on shoes, but you do get what you pay for. I think it is worth the price. I really like the fact that at Zappos, they have a search for "comfort" shoes/boots. I always filter my search to find more comfortable shoes.

Comfortable and casual - This is a comfortable shoe, although large in ankle. I wish I had gotten a half size smaller. It's casual, but good for jeans only, in my opinion. The footbed is very soft and cushiony, and the traction on the bottom is excellent. I think they were overpriced; however, and I probably won't buy Clarks again, unless the price comes down.

Casual and comfortable - These boots are comfortable, but the ankle area is large and I need to wear thick socks with them. The footbed is well cushioned, and the outer sole offers good stability. They are very casual and I would only wear them with jeans. A bit overpriced.

The Strutt is great! Felt kinda stiff at first, but after the first day they were well broken in. Good lookin' shoe for both dress and casual wear. Well worth the expense.
