Clark's have a reputation for comfort and durability, so while I was researching which walking shoe I should take with me on my walking tour of europe this summer, I had seen this pair online. As I don't really like wearing tennis shoes (I only use them for the gym), I wanted something a little more stylish. I went ahead and purchased after reading positive reviews.  These shoes turned out to be the most comfortable shoe I have ever worn!  You can just slip them on without socks if you like and your feet do not sweat much as they are breathable. I prefer to wear them with thin ankle socks though and you can walk in them everywhere! They go well with jeans but I even wear them with summer dresses. They may not be the most stylish per se but they are attractive and durable. I suggest you spray them first with a wax protector to protect the leather against wear/weather. The only mild sore spot was that some stitching on the inside of the left shoe was rubbing against my foot. Can't wait to wear them to europe! Update: I wore this pair out walking everywhere with them in all kinds of weather, for several years. So I bought a second pair in 2017. The newer version doesn't quite seem the same but is still great to walk in. I will continue to buy these shoes!
