While not new to Clarks shoes, I must admit being skeptical about the description of this shoe.  Now as the owner I can say it is everything it advertises and more.  Once on it was like an old slipper in comfort.  Used it on a vacation in Europe and KNOW I would not have gotten through the day without this shoe.  Never had a loafer which could stand up to the rigors of the Acropolis or Schilthorn. It provides solid support and looks great.  Yes I recommend this with pleasure.
