I love Clarks and these shoes are ok.. but compared to older versions of the Artisan line, these are a bit "off" for me.  I need a sturdy footbed which my older shoes have .. but Clarks has tweaked these so they have more "squishability".

These feel like bedroom slippers, even more so than the Ruthie Twist.... and for me, that means my heel flexes and shifts a bit more which creates stress in my lower leg if I wear these all day.  It would not be an issue for most people as I said.  These are ok if I don't do a lot of walking and the price was reasonable..

Since Clarks touts comfort so much, I wish they would find a structural design that works and stick with it since the biggest selection of Clarks is on line with only photos to inspect.  I used to wear a lot of Springers but that line has mostly petered out.  Some of the newer "hip" styles are appealing but again the structure of the shoe is the issue.  I can't wear a flat shoe and need a shoe with a low heel to it and more inside heel/arch support.. with all the variety of shoes Clarks seems to have (Bendables, Privo etc).. it is hard to find the right ones and even if you do.. Clarks (and I guess most manufacturers) .. then tinkers with it..

The population is aging .. I would pay more for a shoe with consistent structure but I guess snagging the younger customer is more important.
