Rough skin looked very cheap on them. It can only be a personal opinion. I have bought Clark's in the past and have always had great luck so this is just a testament to the look and not the feel or quality of the shoe.
Pros
My second pair literally wore out the first pair.
Cons
Sized too big for a 7.5, more like an 8 or 8.5, = doesn't fit other men's Clark boots.
