With two of my favorite brown and black comfort running shoes being phased out in 10 YEARS, I figured it would just be a case of buying another set of comfort shoes of known quality (like Clarks would traditionally do with these Invoice!) ! However, when I searched online and in local stores, the "Clarks shoes" I came across just never felt like the Clarks I know and have proudly owned in the past! Many reviewers agreed that "the quality has gone down"! Still trying to get a decent deal on this
