I bought this pair of shoes because my 2 year old Clarks were starting to wear and I wanted nicer quality shoes to wear to job interviews.  I was not expecting imitation Clarks on Amazon.  The build quality of these shoes was not to production standards.  They weren't even to prototype or counterfeit standards.  I've seen better quality shoes in back alleys in China.  These shoes were made in India and the quality standards with shoe mfg in India apparently are equivalent to the quality of call centers in India.  Avoid these unless you want to wear shoes that look like you made them yourself with no previous shoe making experience.
