I thought I was getting a great shoe, based on several comfy pairs of Clarks shoes I already have. But now I realize I love those shoes because the sole is flat not curved, so my foot lands squarely on the ground. Clarks "bendable sole", is round in the center of the sole, and cut away at the outside edges...Causing the shoe to rock left & right...Thus throwing off your center of gravity, causing your foot to painfully twist. At first I thought I just had to get used to it, or re-adjust the Velcro. But alas, I have twisted my foot several times, leaving me limping for 2 days, from painful muscle strains.  So sad because it is a great looking shoe, buyer beware, dangerous to wear even for a short distance.
