my hubby has been wearing clarks for over 30 years. due to his job, having to walk a lot his legs hurt all the time. i checked for an item we could afford; we could not afford the clarks, they were expensive, but i bought him a pair, since then, we never look at nor buy anything else. just got this casual pair, he thinks they are super. oh, i forgot---the seller got these to us pretty fast which he appreciated. will buy again.
