The shoes are comfortable. The fit is slightly small - I would go half size up if I bought this again. (My other Clark's shoes are a 6 and I ordered a 6.5 after reading the reviews. I would order a 7.) My toe is right up to the end of the shoe but not uncomfortable. The top of the shoe does press some on the upper part of my foot, but I assume it will stretch over time. The color is neutral enough to wear with most anything. They appear to be well made and durable, but that's something only time will tell. The back part of the shoe around the heel is a suede like material. It's nice and soft, but I am concerned about spotting in the rain. The inside looks like a t-shirt fabric, is soft and cushioned. The soles seem good enough - a heavy duty rubber like material. Though they are slightly small, I will keep them because I got them for $18. If I had paid full price they would go back.
