I purchased these shoes specifically because we were going on a two-week cruise through Russia and I needed shoes that I could walk in for miles, then go to dinner and feel like the shoes were appropriate.  These were perfect!  I didn't have time to "break them in" so the first day I had them on, I wore them for almost 18 hours and probably walked 10 miles.  At the end of the day, my feet felt great!  These shoes are very comfortable and I received several compliments.  These are my 15th pair of Clarks - you can't go wrong with any of their shoes.
