I bought these shoes right after I got married 3 years ago. I've worn these shoes for everything, from work, to outdoor activities, to 20+ mile bike rides. These shoes still look great. I've kept them maintained with ceder wood shoe trees, and regular polishing.

My only regret with this shoe is that I feel I bought it one size too big. Clarks shoes run bigger than most. On sneakers I'm a size 11 wide. When I tried an 11 when purchasing, It was a bit big, so I got a 10.5 wide.

From the start, there was no break-in period. It fit perfect. However, the lambskin leather over time gets slightly softer and stretches and thus it has become a more loose fit.

I wish I bought a 10 wide, then it would be perfect.

To compensate I wear thicker socks, which feels fine. After 3 years, I think these shoes have at least another 2 years in them.

If you're going to buy Clarks, make sure to get 1 size smaller than you usually get. It may be a little snug in the beginning, but it'll stretch out to a perfect fit soon.
