I would recommend this sole style by Clarks to every woman that has to keep on going even when her feet are done!  This is my second pair of Clarks with this type of sole and it won't be m y last.  The soles absorb your weight and maintains a stable dependable footing.  The suede padding is soft and comforting as is the leather straps that fit snugly, not tightly, around your foot.  I was a little concerned that the shoe might be a little to "grandma" looking, but that is not the case at all.  Very happy with the shoe and the great price!
