I really like this shoe.  It very comfortable, just as I have come to expect from Clarks' products.  I've always had a couple-week break in period with every Clarks shoe I've bought, but this one was longer, perhaps a month or more.  It gave me blisters on my heel regularly during this time, so I almost sent it back, but I'm glad I stuck with it.  Now it's perfect.  I'm rather clumsy, so I've scraped the leather more than once on cement stairs and such, and I'm happy to report that this one is much more resilient than previous leather shoes I've had.  Within a couple days the scratches and scuffs nearly vanish.
