The quality and style of this shoe seems fine. I ordered a half size up as most reviews said that it ran small...I find it is a bit too long although seems to stay on my foot OK. I would have liked to try on my normal size. It is comfortable as far as not rubbing/pinching anywhere but I think the shoe could use a bit more support somehow...maybe in the arch? I only wear this shoe for "casual dress up" situations not for "all day, on your feet" wear. I usually have very good luck with Clark shoes being very comfortable but find this one falls short...at least for me. I'm a very active 62 year old...do a lot of hiking, biking, gardening, etc.. This shoe may be suited better for younger feet?
