Clarks are a great value for the money because you can wear them everyday for years - the style and the materials hold up.  These are my everyday winter / fall shoes this season.  They goe with everything and are very comfortable - even during daily use.  Some other reviews are complaining about wearing them with socks - but honestly I have never tried them without socks.  They are dressy for work, look great with pants, are high enough for a heel but low enough for comfort.  In fact, I'm wearing them right now!  I wear an 8.5 Wide, and these are true to size.
