Purchased these shoes knowing the quality of this company. I have seven pairs of Clarks' have never been disappointed. Workmanship is always top-notch and comfort level is well above par. The only complaint I have is that I should have ordered a half size larger. These seem to run a little smaller than the rest of my collection. If I wear real thin socks they fit perfectly, but if I wear socks that are a little bit heaver I can't even put them on. But other than that I am perfectly  happy with my purchase.
