text: Purchased these in October of 2014 and I'm ready to throw them out. While they are comfortable in general, I have two issues. The outer sole or tread if you will is not durable and is wearing out. The biggest problem is the foot bed is covered with some material that does not appear to be leather. It attracts dirt and leaves which stick to the stuff requiring me to take the sandals off and scrape the debris out. On true leather sandals debris such as small twigs, stones and bits of leaf will just fall out. Recently I've noticed the fake leather material is lifting away from the foot bed, becoming loose and clumping. Clarks that I've owned in the past have been very durable and held up for several years but not these.
