The exceptional quality is missing. They fit nicely. I am usually a 6 or 6.5 and I am comfortable in the 6. These feel very lightweight and just don't wow me with the feel of putting a quality boot on my foot. That is what I would expect from Clarks. Feels like a good Payless shoe. One zipper has been difficult to unzip everytime I have tried to take them off. I can only hope it will get better with time. I think I will have to trim the "leather" next to the zipper but I am afraid of causing more damage in the process.
This is a great looking stylish boot(kind of a Sherwood Forest appeal)with the perfect height but just misses being wow. I will wear them but would not have bought them if I picked them up and held them in a store for this price. I am not seeing where the money went into these.
