I purchased a pair of Clark women's shoes a few years ago. After spending alot of money on shoes, I expect to be able to wear them more that a few times. I normally would have worn the shoes more, but my lifestyle changed due to family health issues. I pulled them off the shoe shelf in my closet yesterday and was totally upset when I walked out of the bottoms of the shoes. After talking with the company that I purchased these from, they no longer carry Clark womens shoes because of all the problems that have transpired. It is very disturbing when I went to the Clark Store and they informed me they would not do anything about this either. I assured them that I would NEVER purchase another pair and would let all my friends know about the poor quality. Really a shame, as I have several pairs of Clark shoes and now I am wondering how long they will last?
