It used to be that I could grab a pair of Clarks in my size and they'd be wonderful.  This year, that is not working for me.  I thought this pair would be a no-brainer.  Instead, the forefoot was tight and so stiff that the leather hurt where it bent into my foot.  Then the top part was gaping around my foot, where it slid in.  What a disappointment!  Great price, though, and excellent service, as always.
