I wore my clogs and the left shoe suddenly gave way because the sole had split from the leather upper. The stitching had totally ripped apart from the sole. I then wore another pair of Clark's, brown pair, and all of a sudden they felt loose. I looked and the same thing happened, the stitching ripped from the sole and the sole was cracked. I then tried my third pair of Clark's that I had in my closet, and small pieces of black rubber were all over my floor. I checked the soles and they had cracked and ripped also. What the heck?? Three pair gone bad in a week? I used to think Clark's were the best in the market, but won't buy another pair. My cheap shoes from Walmart and Kmart outlasted my Clark's!!
