I put these on right out of the box and went out. I was pretty certain I would end up with blisters due to the leather, but I was wrong. Fantastic fit. I have travelled in them, walked a few cities in them, and the more I wear them, the better they feel and look. I am a pretty simple guy and I don't like a lot of fuss, but I have received so many compliments on these boots.

At a recent airport stopover, I decided to have them shined. I was worried that the great worn look that was emerging would go away, but they shined up and looked even better.

My first pair of Clarks, but certainly not my last.
