I am a teacher and yesterday my Clarks shoes failed during class and left me barefooted....This is the third pair of Clarks I have owned that came apart from the sole. I purchased these shoes at Macy's in Redding, CA....I enjoyed the ease and comfort of these shoes, but after three pair have fallen apart, I am doubtful that I will repurchase said brand. I feel a reimbursement is in order as these are expensive shoes. Thank you for doing the right thing for a paying customer. Contact me. 530 680 1570
