I wear Clarks very often because the shoes offer support and comfort but still look pretty cool. I was looking for a good pair of casual shoes for a vacation where I was going to find myself on my feet a lot. I have trouble with my feet, and after wearing less than optimal shoes, my heels will hurt for days. I bought these shoes and received them the day before my vacation. I wore them the next day and was on my feet all day. They were wonderfully comfortable. The shoes have extra padding near the toes and heels and have an arch. I would highly recommend these shoes!
