For starters, these boots are very good looking.  I especially like the crinkled finish of the leather, which gives a nice textured appearance, which is different from my usual smooth leather boots.  I also like the contrast stitching which gives the boots a hand-made look.  The best aspect of these however, is the comfort factor.  I have walked all over town in these and they are a dream.  The rounded toe doesn't pinch and the size is so dead on that I walked into them like I had been wearing them for years.  I haven't worn a lot of clarks before but I will now!  I'm going to take them on my coming trip to Europe and they will save my feet.
