I saw these at my local department store, but balked at the price. I know the quality of Clarks, but Ive got a budget. The price was doable for me on amazon, and thank goodness. Ive been wearing these all summer, and my feet feel awesome. Ive even worn them all day long at an amusement park and didn't get sore feet! These have become my go-to shoes when Im going to be doing a lot of walking or standing. And they're cute!
