Clark's Extra 40% Off: Men's Leather Ipswich Apron or Wenham Cap Dress Shoes EXPIRED

For the price, I would not hesitate in recommending Clarks, but I do agree that there has been a drop off in quality and especially comfort, in my limited experience. I had a pair of brown Escalade shoes that I wore for about four years. My black shoes were Rockport dress shoes (bicycle 2 something or other lol; all i know is they are amazingly comfortable). I bought the newer version of the Escalade shoes, and the inside material of the escalade, the padding for your foot (sorry I don't know the technical term for these things), was waayyyy less comfortable. I don't waste shoes, so I am still wearing those Escalade shoes, but they are wearing much more quickly and are significantly less comfortable. I bought new Rockport shoes and the inside material of those also were not quite as comfortable as before (the previous insert was adidas branded and I'm not sure what the new one is but it is no longer that), but the difference was not nearly as dramatic as with the Clarks. Anyway, again, at these prices you can expect that you're not getting the most amazingly comfortable shoe, and it's still much better than buying dockers or nunn bush or something like that...Clarks are still more comfortable than those more budget options will ever be. Sorry for the long comment, and I'm not saying my experience is the same as that of others. I honestly hope you guys have better luck than I did.

Still 3-4x the price of these eh?

Yes, but it's worth extra price. These Bostonian shoes will fall apart after few months, but Allen Edmonds with leather outsoles will easily last you 5-10 years.

Do these run true to size?
