My previous pair of Clarks boots lasted a little over 10 years and were totally comfortable. When the heels finally disintegrated, I went on line to find a similar style from Clarks and found these. I read the reviews about them being narrow, so I ordered up a half size to a 7-1/2 regular, but that was still not enough. The toe was very tight. I exchanged them for a 7-1/2 wide and they are great! Perfect fit for me and they go with everything from jeans to dress slacks.
