Sweet Tooth
Deep. W i d e.
I wear size 12 shoes, usually wide. So hard to find something comfy and quality without being too overpriced. I kept hearing how good Clarks shoes are, so I decided to try some.
I got one pair of leather flip-flops. The leather that was glued to the bed of the foot was loose in a month. I bought another pair of flip flops that have held up much better, a little sturdier of a foot bed with sewing instead of just glue. I figured the first pair was a fluke, so last fall I bought 2 pairs of shoes for work.
I have to say, they're comfy for wearing sitting at a desk, but not comfy for walking around much. The one pair has hard rubber heels, and they'd compress and "roll" as I walked, which has been miserable with a bad knee. No arch support, so my feet ache after a day at the mall. And then, yesterday, I noticed they'd done this. Mind you, I'd had them about 4-5 months and wear them 2-3 times per week, mostly at work where I do plenty of sitting. I'm about 350, and haven't had this severe of a problem with other shoes except the very cheapest sorts. Has anyone else had problems with their shoes? Is it a recent thing, maybe a change in manufacturing? Any ideas?
