My Clarks shoes fell apart at a relative's funeral. No sign of trouble getting dressed for the funeral. The most comfortable shoes I've ever had. I babysat her. When I left the church, pieces of the sole were lying in the aisle and my foot was punctured to the ground. I had to walk back down the aisle to get the pieces of rubber sole barefoot. I was satisfied. I contacted Clarks and they did NOTHING about it. As long as I live I will never buy another pair. (I still have the shoes somewhere. I'll be happy to share pictures if I can find them.)
