I bought these shoes at the same time as a same style Clark brand. I'm keeping the Clark and sending these back. These are more true to navy blue than the Clark, but the Clark fit me better and seem to have more substance in the sole. (I have some residual effects from breaking my foot. I also have slight balance issues.) Otherwise, I would probably keep these. The price was good and they are certainly a lot more comfortable than the shoes you get at a typical cheap shoe store. These shoes did make a definite squeak as I walked across the vinyl floor. I don't know if that is just because they are new. (although the Clark shoes don't) Perhaps the squeak would cease when they have gained some dirt from walking.(I've just walked around the house briefly)

On their own, I might give these shoes 5 stars. Because the Clarks are better, I'm giving these a 4.
