These are so classic and comfortable. They go from casual to business casual very easily.

Huge! I have wide feet so I appreciated the wider fit, but they were also incredibly long.

These are great shoes, comfort, quality and style. Great with jeans or khaki's! Great if your feet are wider or you have a bunion on a foot like I do from wearing pointy shoes in my youth.

Good quality leather shoes. Break in was easy.
No arch support. They run a little tight across the top of the foot. The sole has great grip.

I love these shoes! What's so awesome about them is that they're so quiet! Seriously, when walking, you don't hear a thing. Unless, of course, you walk through water or snow...then you hear squeakiness. I love the style. I always feel B.A. when I wear them. Ready to take charge and own it. Feels great! Nice and comfy.

One of my new favorites. These are super comfortable, and they look great. Can be casual, or more trendy, depending on what you wear. I wore them to work, spent the whole 8 hour shift on my feet, and no soreness at all.

These shoes are classic in the sense that they never go out of style. Because they\'re made of good, substantial leather, they will last for years! It is important to say, though, that at first, the leather is a little stiff, but with a couple of wearings the leather softens up. The crepe sole is wonderful for it\'s cushioning ability, making it a perfect shoe if you\'re on your feet all day. This is just a great, basic shoe and they look especially great with jeans.

Great shoe. Fits perfectly as soon as you put your foot in it the first time. Will last forever. Well worth the money, especially if you can find it on sale. Enjoy! JCB in Houston, TX.

Love these shoes - this is the fourth pair that I've purchased over the years. I keep coming back to these particular shoes because they are practical, stylish (without looking like all the other stylish shoes out there) and hold up extremely well. I walk a lot and find these shoes are roomy enough so I can wear a nice thick pair of socks and they never pinch your feet like shoes with a really tapered toe. I wear a lot of ballet flats and the occasional high heel but none of those shoes actually protect your feet from the elements nor can you wear socks with them. Unlike all my other shoes, this pair of shoes can be easily cleaned, and the leather only looks better with wear. To all first time buyers, don't worry about the stiffnes of the shoes, the leather becomes soft with time.

Comfort and Style -
These shoes are great! The crepe sole is extremely comfortable and flexible. They grip well to the tile floors in our middle school where I work. I wore them all day just after receiving them for a Christmas gift and did not experience any discomfort or foot fatigue.

Awesome shoes-Here's the trick to breaking them in!
Alright, before I bought this shoe I read all of the reviews and I found that the biggest complaint was breaking them in. After years of figure skating and softball playing I've learned how to "bake" leather so I didn't have bleeding ankles. This method also works great for breaking in stiff shoes. All you need is a hair dryer and a blunt object that fits in the shoe. You heat the part of the shoe that is uncomfortable until the wax starts to melt a bit, then you use a hard, blunt object (I use a shot glass for shoes) to stretch out the leather from the inside. Keep moving the object around, don't just put it in the shoe and leave it there. I usually spend about 2 hours doing this while watching TV. Continue trying on the shoes to see what a difference you are making. It's pretty fail proof!!! Good luck and don't let anything keep you from the cool look of your new Clarks!

Great shoes -
The shoes were great. I got them two years in a row for school and I found them worth the price. The shoes may begin to bend in the front if you buy it too big, but we found a way to fix that. We stuff the front of the shoes with cardboard and paper (having enough room for our toes). Therefore they don’t bend and leave a fold in the front of the shoes making it beautiful all year long. Thanks for the great shoes!!!

Left foot good, right foot pain!
I don't know if it's my right foot or it's the right shoe, but I've been wearing these for a week straight (taking them off at night :) ) and the left shoe fits perfectly, but the right one cuts into my foot with every step (right where the shoe bends) I don't know what to do. Can I get a different right shoe? (Or a foot...)

Vacation comfort -
Sightseeing & shopping : I was on my feet everyday for 6 - 12 hours a day for 2 weeks and my feet felt FANTASTIC! These shoes are even more comfortable than Converse (which sometimes hurt the ball of my foot). For the first time ever while on vacation I experienced no foot pain, no blisters, no intense burning sensation at the end of the day *** NO DISCOMFORT, NOT EVEN A LITTLE!***. I also noticed that despite the 90 degree humid weather, my feet still felt cool and dry. The secret has got to be the crepe sole.

Love 'em -
These shoes are so comfortable and didn't need any "break in " time at all. The color and texture of the leather is great and the first day I wore them without socks and they never hurt my feet or gave me a blister. I tried the "Wallabee " version but these were more comfortable for my wide wearing feet.

Best shoe ever!
I go a private school and we have to wear uniforms and "nice" shoes. just about 7 out 10 wear Clarks, they are the best shoes ever. extremely comfortable and nice on the eye. I wear them everyday and they still look brand new. I highly recommend them to anybody, they are an all around good shoe!

I love these shoes -
I have been wearing these shoes almost every day in the month since they arrived. I love them. They are comfortable. They are wearing well. I am a college professor, so I am on my feet a lot. No problem with these. I got them as a replacement for my J Seibels and now Clarks has a new customer for life! The leather is substantial. These will last me.

These just look so cool -
And they are also EXTREMELY comfortable! I know that Clark’s cost some dough, considering they are not glamorous or have expensive soles, but they look GREAT, the leather is high quality (though you should always have shoe conditioner to clean them off for they scuff quite easily) and they are LONG LASTING. Trust me. You’ll have these for years and years.

I absolutely love these shoes - very comfortable from the get go! They have become my new favorite pair of shoes and I've received several compliments on them! They have an "old school" look to them!

Out of the box the shoe is a little stiff compared to the Wallabees but with a little leather conditioner and wearing around town and work the shoe is great. The footbed is different compared to the Wallabees but its kinda like the footbed in the doc marten's 8 eyelet boots and now it feels great.

Outstanding comfort -
At first, the shoe felt like there was little arch support, but after a week’s wear and the shoe taking the form of my feet, they are terrific! Highly recommend these shoes if you want a really comfortable shoe. I'm on my feet all day and these are the answer. Try them, you'll like them!

A terrific shoe, worth every penny. I wore this type of shoe all through high school and they bring back happy memories. The crepe sole cushions every step, the generous width allows me to wear the Ragg socks I wear during the cooler seasons and the laces make them fit snugly and securely. I am a teacher and on my feet all day long. These shoes are perfect for anyone who takes good care of their feet. Comfy, cute and worth every penny.

Looks great with everything -
This shoe looks really cute with skirts and tights, jeans, wide leg trousers - I want more! They don't have arch support though, so don't believe it if you read that in someone's review. The fit is on the roomy side, but I like that.

clark desert treks -
I have treks from 1980, they were in the bottom of my closet and i broke them back out and wear them again, now my 22 yr old daughter wants a pair. the beeswax color has changed a bit, mine are more of a burgendy with leather laces which they dont use anymore. They are still like brand new and you CAN'T wear these shoes out!
