The soles on my third pair of Clarks shoes just disintegrated day before yesterday all of a sudden at work. I thought first that someone had dragged dirt in, but then noticed that the sole of one shoe was crumpling. All those shoes were my favorite and the top part was still in excellent condition. How sad. I have two more Clarks shoes in my closet and one pair is my favorite. I hope that the one pair will still be good at wintertime. I hope the material on the Clarks shoes have been changed after all these complaints. Paula
