I've been wearing Clarks almost exclusively for the last 40 years.  In every single case, the shoes have always fit well, lasted a long time and were absolutely comfortable right out of the box.  These don't meet that last criteria.  The uppers on these are stiff (They're shoe leather - duh...) and are going to require a week or two of breaking in to get the leather to loosen up a bit.  Just thought I'd get that in early, but I'm sure I'll love them in a couple of weeks.

In the question section, it's been asked if these are waterproof or not, and been answered both yes and no.  There is no mention in the description about them being waterproof and yet, printed on the insole, are the words: "Waterproof Construction."  So are they?  No.  Think about it - these lace up.  Laces mean holes for the laces.  And holes mean seepage.  At best these would be water resistant, but not waterproof.

So if you buy yourself a pair, plan on having to break them in and I'm sure you'll be happy with your purchase.
