I am a long time fan of Clark's shoes.  I have several pairs of shoes, booties and sandals.  I have never been disappointed with the fit or durability.  And I love the classy look of their lines, just enough detail to be stylish, but not over the top tacky. These particular boots were bought as a Christmas present for my daughter after we looked at them in a store.  They didn't have her size at any local outlet.  I was able to find them through Amazon at a great savings and free delivery. The fit was great and right from the first wearing she was walking long distances without discomfort.
