I ordered these to replace a pair of Air Active Clarks that I had worn for about 10 years that the sole finally wore through.  The upper leather is stiff, the inner padding is thin, the cut where the leather uppers meets the sole is poor, the sole had an air bubble showing.  I actually went back and looked to see if the box was market 'irregular'.  They will be OK to wear to work on a daily basis but nowhere near sturdy enough for a Saturday hike like the Air Active's were.  on a positive side, they are very light and the color is very uniform.  They do fit a bit better after wearing them to work for about 4 days but they are still very stiff and abrasive in the heal area. They also have a much narrower toe box than all the other Clark shoes I own.

I still have two other pairs of Air Active, one about 6 years old and a pair about 2 years old and a new pair of Unstructured Nubuck's.  I would highly recommend the Unstructured since the Active Air's are no longer available.  Yes, they are about twice the price of the Doby 4 Eye but they fit like a glove right out of the box and feel like they will wear well.
