Clarks Men's Cotrell Walk Oxford

I have never purchased any shoes other than Skechers from Amazon (or any online retailer) because the fit of any other shoes is a crap shoot. But the insoles of Skechers seem to crush down to nothing in 3 months any more, and I needed something more supportive.I decided to order these shoes and a pair of Dr. Martens (never owned either before) based on the reviews. The Doc Martins were as solid as an old Buick, and almost as heavy, and they fit perfectly. These Clarks shoes fit equally well, and were far more comfortable. They are lighter in weight, but certainly don’t feel cheap or poorly made. The soles on the Clarks are definitely more flexible, and I need some decent walking shoes when I go on vacation in a few months. I expect that the Dr. Martens would have lasted longer, and would have been ok once broken in. I plan to condition and waterproof the leather on these Clarks, then wear them around the house for a couple of weeks.They look really nice, and are already very comfortable. My only issue is the same one I have with all shoes: I don’t think the insoles are very supportive, and I doubt they would last long. Even so, I’m not removing any stars for this. I need to use orthotic insoles anyhow, and will get a new set for these shoes. The Dr. M’s would have required the same, but I returned them. These Clarks shoes will suit my needs better.

These are great for walking in the city. I walked from Times Square into Central Park and back. I never had a problem with them being too tight or rubbing. I highly recommend the wide if you are doing a lot of walking and your shoes for everyday wear are normal width.

Comfortable, lightweight, nice colorMy husband loves them

Most comfortable shoes I have had. Lightweight.

First of all, putting on a pair of shoes right out of the box, and taking them on a trip across country wouldn’t be wise unless the shoes were super comfortable- which these shoes are.The sole has the flexibility of a sneaker, is well built, water resistant to the slush and snow encountered on a recent east coast shut-down snow storm, and great slip-resistant outer soles without a clunky, messy deep tread.The design has a rounded heel that allows your foot to roll with your stride, and also protects the heel from scuffing when driving.The style is conservative, but the lace design is part of the magic of the fit, and the fit is the best.I love these shoes but they show EVERY SCRATCH and SCUFF that I encountered getting in and out of taxis, brushing the side of my suitcase, on the toe and over the foot box.The leather is a well-oiled, with a molded sole concealing the stitches from the elements. These shoes are great except for their appearance, unless I care for them immediatelyIf I rub them with my fingers the oil on the leather largely removes the scuff…but I am rubbing them twice a day at this point.And while I like that the shoes take care of me, I also feel like I’m constantly babysitting themI want to keep them, but I would LOVE to hear from the company as to a shoe product that would remedy this situation.Thanks

Purchased for my Pop. This is the second pair to purchase. The style and fit are perfect.

It seems that Clarks' quality has declined. The last pair I bought didn’t even last a year—hopefully, this one will last longer. On the bright side, they still offer a variety of styles and wider size options

Well, just received today, but all seems well. The shoes are comfortable and everything seems to be put together well. I bought these primarily for walking shoes for our upcoming European vacation.
