My old shoes wore out and I couldn't find a replacement at the same source, which I've used for some years. I like solid shoes for wear and comfort, but don't like 'Tennis-Shoes' for everyday wear. Another choice ordered came too small and tight for the size, not as well as not being as well-built. A friend mentioned Clark Shoes, so tried these and am quite happy. Only one complaint, the hoop at the rear to pull them on is too small for my index finger, so can't use it. I'll probably stick with these in the future.
