These Clarks shoes are very comfortable with lots of toe wiggle room.  The shape of the front of the shoe reminds me of the familiar "Earth Shoes" shape I loved some years ago.  They meet the podiatrist requirements of stiff/supportive soles and firm/supportive heal area for Plantar Fascitis.  I bought them in two colors: Black and Olive Nubuck which go well with many outfits.  At first I was shocked at the prices for these shoes in specialty stores, which I paid for my Black ones.  Amazon provided the same style in another color at a better price.  Glad I found them here.
