text: I am a dedicated Clarks-wearer, but after buying a pair of impressively comfy Aerosoles heels for a wedding I thought I would try flats in this brand too. They fit well and look good but I can't imagine they are going to last for more than one season of wear. The pleather/vinyl upper part started fraying on second outing and although the fabric-covered footbed makes the sandals very comfortable, if you even scrape the toe part in the slightest while walking (sidewalk or floor) the white part of the sole shows through - particularly distracting on black sandals. I colored the scraped parts with a marker, Pretty Woman style, but as far as sturdiness these are about two steps above a flip flop.
