Clarks Unstructured Men's Un.Bend Casual Oxford

I'll keep this simple. This is the most comfortable shoe I've ever worn. I wear this to work, (I stand up for 8-10 hours a day). I wear this around town. It looks fantastic in either setting.Ok, so what makes it unique? The description says something about the breathability. It absolutely, totally breathes. My feet sweat a lot. EWW! BUT, my feet are so comfortable in these shoes, I seriously never want to take them off my feet.All I want to do is make sure I order a few more pairs before they stop making them. OR if I can no longer find them for like $90.00 instead of $160 at a local shoe store where you get attacked by a sales person.The leather breathes. It is extremely well made. The outsole is incredible. You see, it looks kinda like some casual walking shoe from a distance, BUT it's built kind of like a running shoe.Oh yeah, MOST IMPORTANT POINT: for some reason, Clarks sizes are TOO BIG, JUST LIKE EVERYONE ELSE ON HERE SAYS. Here's my reference for you: I wear a size 12.5 D in Men's Mizuno running shoes, a 12 D in most other shoes. I THINK my TRUE SIZE is 12.5 D like Mizuno says. But for this shoe, I wear 11.5 D. It fit perfectly. Slightly tight the very first half hour, then the leather stretched like it should that little bit to what your foot is shaped like. The most helpful sizing guide that helped me know this shoe was right for me was the EUROPEAN MEASUREMENT. I'm a size 46 EU. I suggest you find your European Size, go to the Clarks website and look at their sizing guide, and pick the US size that matches the EU size.You should buy this.

Like others, I had to return my 12 X-wides for a pair a 11 X-wides. I normally wear a 12, so thought I'd split the difference, and order 11-1/2, but still way too LONG! Much happier now with the 11 X-wide! I had to do the same thing with the Clarks Un.bridge sandals that I bought, going from a 12 to an 11 wide because the length was a bit extreme. All's good now- I've owned Clarks' before, and can't be happier with the comfort, support, construction, and long life I get from them. I pretty much stick with Clarks' for work/dressier shoes now (and sandals too); and Merrells for more casual shoes, because they're both comfortable and last for years. I'm also a big supporter now of Amazons' totally free exchange system, and they give you a return label to print and slap on the box. It came in handy this time! I have wide feet (and bunions), and it's imperative to be able to try on wide sizes, and exchange when the sizing isn't always the same between different shoes and models. Thanks Amazon! :)

I purchased these hoping they would have the same Quality and Weight of the Clark Uni-High Top boots, which I love. These are so not like that at all. These are Heavy and not comfortable.I wish I had returned them before the Prime 30 days had expired.Does anyone want to buy mine from me @ 40.00?

Update 5/2/2016: I've gone through three pairs of these shoes in the past five years, and with each purchase, the price goes up, up, up. They are now more than thirty percent higher than when I first bought them in 2011. It's getting ridiculous. Plus the sole on my latest pair seems to have worn out a lot faster than with previous pairs -- though that may be because I've been doing more walking. But at this price, I've now decided to try another brand. Sorry, Clark's! It's been good knowing you! (And I've changed my rating from 5 to 4 stars due to price alone.)-----For most of my life my attitude towards shoes has been simple: give me something cheap and functional that won't hurt my feet. I assumed that was the baseline for all shoe manufacturers; so since I've often had trouble finding shoes that were comfortable, I figured it was a problem with my feet. I always thought that shoes over a hundred dollars were mostly a waste of money: sure, maybe they were a little better than my cheapies, but surely most of the cost went into "style" and the name of the brand.I was wrong. Completely wrong.The work shoes I'd been wearing for years were ones that looked a bit similar to these Clarks, but they were a no-name brand from Sears and cost around forty dollars -- less than half what these Clarks cost. I've always had problems with them: it took several weeks to break them in to the point that they were reasonably comfortable, and even then I had to wear a Dr. Scholl's rubber insole to make them comfortable. Within a short time the black polish of these shoes would start to wear away, and I had keep applying shoe polish to keep them looking halfway decent. Then within a few months the soft rubber sole started wearing away unevenly, and I began increasingly to stand with my feet at a funny angle. I was usually too lazy to replace them quickly, and before long the soles would wear through completely and I had to replace them just to keep my feet from being soaked during a light drizzle.I tolerated this for years. I figured all shoes were the same. I just had to buy new ones about every 8 months. But recently those Sears cheapies seemed to be getting worse and worse. The soles on the last pair I bought seemed to wear away within only two or three months. Finally I got disgusted and decided to see if I could find something better.These Clarks Unstructured Unbend Casual Oxfords are the shoes I found by doing some research here on amazon.com. At first I was reluctant to spend this kind of money, but finally I said, what the hell, and placed the order.I've now been wearing these shoes every work day for eleven months. They were comfortable from day one -- the only flaw was that one of the shoes had a slight squeak that lasted about ten days. It went away and hasn't returned. There was no need to add my Dr. Scholl's rubber insole to these Clarks. The black exterior finish now shows a little wear, but it certainly is not wearing away -- not at all. I'm sure if I made a little more of an effort to care for my shoes it would look almost new. Similarly the soles show some minor wear, but they are wearing evenly, and just as important there is no sign at all that they are going to wear through any time soon. Indeed the tiny waffle pattern on the bottom is still partially visible -- so that means the wear is actually quite slow indeed.If back in January I'd purchased another pair of the crap shoes I used to wear instead of these Clarks, they would no doubt have become unwearable sometime last summer -- maybe June or July. I could have held out replacing them until maybe September. If I'd done that, my replacements would by now, December, have just gone over their peak of attractiveness and comfort, and I'd no doubt be spending the next two months trying to decide how much longer I'm willing to tolerate ugly, painful shoes before finally giving in sometime in February and getting new ones.I paid three times more for these Clarks than I normally paid for my other cheap shoes. The Clarks have now lasted eleven months and show no signs at all of becoming unwearable in the near future. But even if they were to last only for the next few months and then simply fall apart, I would have still spent only the same amount on them that I would have had to spend on the three pairs of cheap shoes that would last the same amount of time. And yet the Clarks have already been much, much more comfortable and sturdy than those cheap shoes ever were at their best.And that's not even counting the cost of the rubber insole I bought for the cheap shoes.And on top of that, I fully expect these Clarks to last me at least another year, not merely another few months.That makes these shoes not only the most comfortable, durable, attractive shoes I've ever owned -- it also makes them the best bargain in shoes I've ever seen.I recommend these shoes very highly. Get them; you won't regret it.PS I still haven't been able to figure out what "unstructured unbend" is supposed to mean. Oh well. And if I could give one piece of advice to Clarks, it would be that they let potential customers know that their shoes are not only high quality but in fact a great bargain -- ultimately a lot cheaper than the crappy alternatives that initially cost much less. I wish someone had told me sooner, that's for sure.

Earth shoes have really trimmed down their men's lineup, and I was a bit disappointed. When I'm out photographing a wedding, the Earth shoes were the only shoes that I had found to date that my feet and back weren't killing me at the end of the day. I've done one wedding since purchasing these shoes, and my feet were quite happy at the end of the evening.The shoes are very comfortable and do breathe well. I have the black ones, and so far, I've been happy with the scuff resistance.I will add that the mesh on the back near the top of the shoe is a bit odd, there is a little leather flap which comes down and it's almost like the shoe isn't finished because you can lift it up. Seems like there should be a stitch line holding that flap down.I normally wear a 12, and I needed an 11.5 in these.

Got it for my dad. Absolutely loved it!!! Perfect fit considering he has about 3+ pairs of the same brand asked me to order another in brown.

You can't beat Clark's Unstructured casual shoes for comfort. This will be my 3rd pair.
