The shoes arrived in great condition. They are very comfortable and are great for "Business Casual" and "Casual Dining" events. I am a big fan of Clarks because of their combination of style and comfort.

I used to own Natureveldt, and loved them for their comfort, style, and practicality. This Nature II model seems to be its closest relative both in design and comfort. I sure expect to enjoy them for as long as I did my favorite old Natureveldt.

This shoe is almost like the two previous pairs I have owned. There are subtle differences the most important being the change in color to the inner material. The European and Chinese used a dark brown material. The current version uses a light tan material that is visible around the edge of the lining at the ankles and on the outer edges of the tongue and uppers. Looks cheap. Otherwise, fit, size and comfort are the same (i.e. very good).

Cheap. They are not as good as the Natureveldt, leather looks cheap and like they skimped on things from old model. Very disappointed.

Seven years ago I bought my first pair of Clarks Nature II as advised by my doctor. As a classroom teacher for 30 years I was in need. When they finally wore out, I purchased the exact same shoe much to my wife's chagrin. If they work, don't mess with it!

Great shoe, very comfortable, not cheap. One drawback, the finish on the shoe wore off very quickly, and I have to polish often.

The sizing has changed. I've worn four pair of these shoes previously with great success, all size 9.5. However, when I ordered an received a 9.5 online from this website, it was comparable to a 10.5. I went to a brick and mortar store, and indeed 9.5 was my size for the model stocked there. So be careful about the size you order, it may not be the same as that you see in the stores. So I had to return it, and now will only buy a pair I've tried on.

Definitely a comfortable shoe, lightweight with sufficient support. I am, however, concerned about durability as they have shown wear even though it has only been weeks since purchasing.

I bought these for my husband, who found these shoes years ago and loves them. The website said they ran small so we ordered an 11 but he needed his regular size a 10.5. My husband has a very wide foot and has found the fit on Clarks to be the best he has found. Great shoes, great website that makes it easy to search on brand, color, and size making it easy to pinpoint your choices when you don\'t have much time to shop. In the end we ordered both sizes and are sending one back. Bravo for free shipping both ways. It lets you try the fit without pressure.

I had a pair of these for 14 years and finally wore holes in the soles, so ordered a new pair.\r\nThe new pair is as comfortable as the old, still feels incredibly comfortable. \r\nOthers have complained they are not made as well as in past. This is probably true. The leather, especially the tongue seems quite a bit thinner.\r\nSo maybe I\'ll only get 8 or 9 years out of a pair

Super!!! These shoes are wonderful, like I'm walking on air. They hold tight to my foot, yep my toes have plenty of room due to the steel toe. The leather is very soft, and comfy. A great buy!

Fantastic. WONDERFUL! They feel like you're walking on air. They look great and feel even better. Get some, you won't regret it. Shipping took exactly one week from California to Alabama.

Work-boot nirvana? I had high expectations of this boot. I have a slightly wide, big foot (13w or 14), with fairly high arches (can you say hard to fit?). I have heard nothing but good things about Dr. Martens, so I decided to give these size 14 boots a try after my work sneakers failed miserably. I wear these guys all day every day of the work week. The width is just bairly adequate for my foot, while the length is a bit much. The extra width combined with the steel toe almost gives these boots the "clown shoe" look (I said almost). I had to get a Dr. Scholl's work boot insert to get the arch support right. Cushioning is adequate, not quite what I expected from the descriptions of their "World Famous air cushioned sole." As far as the style goes (as if you would be concerned about style in a steel toe!), my uber-cool buddy's exact quote upon seeing these boots was "Wow... these are beautiful!" Whatever, man.

Style and Safety. I bought these boots specifically because I wanted a steel toe due to the fact I was going to be clearing land. My other Doc's were so comfortable I figured these should be too! I was right on both counts, EXTREMELY comfortable for a work boot, and the steel toe (a foot saver). While cutting I had a number of logs, limbs, etc. clip my boots, including a 500lb piece of palmetto that rolled on the toe. Absolutetly no injuries or bruises...... These are great shoes!

Great boots. This boot is the best work boot I've ever found. I used to work in a truck tire shop and was going through boots about every 6 months, until i bought a pair of these. I think I spilled just about every kind of oil, grease and liquid on them and they took it. They even stood up to calcium chloride (a salt water mix used for ballast in tires). The soles are non-slip, non-marking, which is a bonus. The only complaint is the toes do have a tendancy to wear through sometimes, but a good shoe repair shop can fix that. Bottom line these are the best boots I've ever owned and ever will own.

Wicked Work Boots - I've owned all sorts of work boots and sneakers for construction. It's very hard to find a boot that is fairly comfortable to wear AND worthy of the demands fo a job site from start to finish. Although these shoes are a bit heavy (Hey, you wear any kind of steel toe for 10+ hrs a day, they all get heavy), they still feel comfortable at the end of the day. And afterwards, even with the wear and tear of a jobsite, I still wear these things when I go out sometimes! If you work and worry about your toes getting smashed, buy these boots. You won't be disappointed.

Bad A** Work Boot - These are bad mutha's. I've had them 3 years. I bought them for work and they're great; very comfortable. They look good to wear out on the town as well... I even have them on now...

great boots - I am 6'4, weigh about 375lbs, and was going through shoes in 6 months or less. Before these boots, the soles of my feet used to hurt for a half hour every morning when I woke up. Not anymore. The soles on the docs are all they're touted to be! Look great too.
