shoe
This shoe is well made and comfortable. however, I have been spoiled by Clark's Unstructured shoe.

Comfort with support
I have been wearing Clarke's shoes for well over thirty years and even with the advent of all the Euopean 'comfort' shoes - i.e. Mephisto's, Ecco's, Birkenstocks - I think Clarke's still rank right near the top when it comes to quality construction, and they are more reasonably priced than the "Euro-comfort shoes." The Norton is solidly constructed and requires little or no break-in. They feel great right out of the box and the style - I got the brown and tan - looks much better on the foot than in the pictures. My only dissapointment is that Clarkes doesn't featues a full leather lining in this particular style, but then again they have to find a way to keep prices reasonable. Clarkes run very full. If you happen to be between sizes - "a 10&1/2 or an 11" - stick with the smaller size. They are cut generously in the width and if you have wide feet the Wides will accomadate a EEE foot - due to the blucher cut - with relative ease. Hope this helps...the detail comes from having sold shoes for some 30 years.

Comfortable
I really like how these feel on my feet. I have wide feet and they feel real good.

Excellent Value
This is my third pair of Clarks shoes, and I was not disappointed. They are very comfortable even after wearing them all day. And as a bonus, I purchased them from Amazon for half the price than I could have in the department store.

a problem with the shoes
just got a new pair of size 7M and found that the shoes had a problem of its proportion. the length of the shoes is OK but the tongues are so flat that they can hardly contain the front parts of my feet. They squeeze my feet so hard that I can hardly walk with them. sincerely hope that this does not happen to other sizes.
