text: These Clark's started to fall apart after 5 days of use. They felt pretty solid, but they failed in a fundamental way -- the sole started splitting away from the shoe. To make matters worse, the insole would slip down into the resulting gap (see the pictures).<br /><br />These are nothing like the Clark's I've owned in the past. I'd say these are as cheap as they can make them without raising suspicion. Shame really.
