Have always worn Clarks. Desert boots that I can no longer wear because the top is too tight and there are no wide sizes. I love my Portland shoes. Selling great running shoes. And now this one. Well done. I have a Clarks sole that works for me inside and out. Bottom line, I've never bought a pair of Clarks that I didn't like. Free returns make this an easy task. They are true to size and are very well made. Some have mentioned toughness. I'll take care of that in a week.
