text: I am sure these shoes will last me very long, because I will wear these so rarely, if at all! It must be a good make at some point of time, but now definitely something has terribly gone wrong in the manufacturing and quality control. Or probably Clarks have such a solid &#34;brand&#34;  that they don't really care anymore. Definitely not worth 70 dollars.  Specifics: 1. Size - Usually I wear 10M or 9.5W. Based on previous feedbacks for these boots I ordered 9.5M, which fitted a bit too tight for comfort. Exchanged and ordered 10M (W was not available). This one fits, but not that comfortably. The foot feels crammed inside the shoe. Feels more like an ill fitted safety boot than a casual street boot. Usually does not happen (and not with other pair of boots bought along with this one), it chaffs the skin under shoe lace area. After barely 10 mnts of walking it starts hurting. in 20 mnts have to take it off. 2. Leather - Leather of the first pair felt soft and &#34;weathered&#34; , felt more comfortable. This replacement pair, this leather feels very thick and tough. Safety boot material. 3.Cushioning - Marginal to none. Feels hard on undersole, will look for some padding base. but that may cram the foot even more. 4. Colour - original pair had a nice bee wax colour, this one looks dirty brown. Weird scratch marks have appear on leather. 5. Weight - again original pair felt light and comfortable, the replacement is very heavy, feels like a kilo each if not more. 6. Workmanship - the glue on the sides is coming off after eight wearing. And I wear these to office, walking time barely 10 mnts each side. Gives me weird ache in the shins.
