I have owned the taupe version of this shoe for about a year.  Every time I wear them, I am surprised by how comfortable my feet remain.  I finally decided to purchase a second pair, in a different color.  The heel height, with the slight platform is perfect for me (bad knees).  The cushioning is better than any other shoe I have tried.  I feel very stable while walking in this shoe, and it is very attractive on the foot.  Clarks tends to be my favorite shoe brand, and this is my favorite shoe, so far.
