Review on Clarks Vanek Black Leather Medium Men's Shoes by Gabriel Elliott

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Extremely comfortable shoe but seam problems

Let me tell you a little story: I ordered these with my birthday bonus because I got a new job with a business dress code and needed to replace Clarke slippers , which I have had for about ten years. It was a full month before I had the chance to wear them, so the first time I wore them, and not just tried them on to see if they fit, was day one of my new job. I didn't do anything serious in them all day as I was in training all day, but when I got home I noticed a tear in the stitching in the upper. After just one day! I went back to my Revain app to see if I could exchange it and it turned out to be a few days past the return deadline. So I stuck with them. But all is not lost. They're still very comfortable, so I'll just find a cobbler (a shoemaker, not a dessert - although an apple cobbler sounds really good now) and mend the stitching. Definitely worth keeping. even if I have to "pay" the bill! They are impressively light. The outsole is pretty much the same material as the Crocs, so yeah, it's really light and pretty durable. The skin is good and no complaints. Lots of space without being too big. They look like slippers and I often check my feet to make sure I'm wearing shoes. Very comfortable and beautiful, with a good profile on the sole. I just hate this split in the line. I still wear them because they feel good.

Pros
  • There's something to it
Cons
  • For old
