text: The whole idea of this shoe was about the arch support.  Maybe they just don't fit my foot right, but the very high arch support is too far forward for me, which makes them uncomfortable.  Another person might not have this problem.  They have a suade (?) inner lining which is very warm on the foot - so not good for summer wear.  They are also look like Clarks - the wide ones, which isn't a look I like.  In the picture I couldn't tell they looked this way.  So these are not a great shoe for me, but could be perfect for someone else.  They are well made.
