I used to really like the fit of Clarks shoes. The size 13M was always comfortable. This pair is made in India instead of Vietnam and even a size 14 is a little short. I guess they have different size standards in the two countries. The soles of Clarks shoes always wear out first. It's disappointing when the top of the shoes still look good, but the sole has a hole right through. Step in water and you have a wet sock. The price was good on this shoe so I'll keep them, but I am going back to Rockports.
