About ten years ago, a wonderful man sold me some Clarks Springers.  They were so comfortable, they changed my life! I wore them on my daily walks to nearby (and some rather far-flung) errands --even in Indiana on milder days in the winter.  Sadly, they were discontinued.  Thankfully, Clarks are typically very well made and I did buy four or five pairs.  But now the last pair is finally coming to the end of its useful life and I am desperately seeking an adequate replacement.

"Walking Cradles" sounds exquisitely comfortable, but they do not hold a candle to the comfort of my Springers. The footbed, which looks lavishly padded, is actually quite a bit harder than I expected.  The padding isn't very dense and I feel the plastic sole with every step.  And they aren't wide; even WW pinches a bit.  But, for quick errands and trips to places I expect to kick off my shoes, these are the ones I choose because they are pretty cute, convenient, and comfortable *enough.*
