CLARKS Men's Cotrell Edge Oxford

Comment

I own five pair of size-12 Clarks shoes, mostly the "Wave Walker" variety. These are my favorite shoes to wear to work in my office and walk a couple of miles a day in too. Too bad that these Cotrell Edge shoes are far inferior than all my other Clarks shoes. I sent them back. Too small (compared to all my other Clarks shoes), poor fit that doesnt conform to a humans foot in the toe bed (which is common with many shoes). The sole is light-weight plastic-type material. Little arch support.

Ive been wearing them for over a month now. The heel was very stiff initially, and tore up my Achilles pretty badly the first couple weeks. The weathered look draws eyes, I got some nice compliments at first. The shoes dont hold up well however, the shoe material stains much more easily than regular leather, the shoes have gotten noticeably darker at the front and there are white cracks starting to form. I dont see these shoes holding up for another couple months of frequent wear. If you plan to only wear these occasionally, go for it. But I bought these for daily wear to work and I am a bit disappointed. Cheap price, so you get what you pay for.

Pros: Required NO time to break them in. Felt great instantly. They dont "scuff" so they look nice. Great support/insole Cons: Not much breathability. Keeps the water out though so that makes it a Pro. Other Info: Ive owned 2 other pairs of Clarks shoes. I still have them. One pair I bought new in 1997. Ive worn them for work/travel and they just keep on going. Ive never resoled them either. I dont know the model but they look like Clarks Cushox loafers. I wear custom orthotics in my shoes and I did not need them in these shoes. Awesome!

They look nice but for some reason the right shoe was rubbing my Achilles tendon RAW. I always wear socks too, so it wasnt anything like that. It could have been a defect or something, perhaps a slightly harder texture on the right shoe on the upper back part that touches the Achilles tendon. Also, the quality is less than I expected. They seem cheap. I paid $49.99 but they feel more like $29.99. I still like Clarks but this one was a miss for me.

I dont recommend buying these shoes online. You will definitely want to try them on. I thought I would be ok ordering online, because I have a pair of Clarks now, and just ordered the same size. I was wrong. The size 12 was very tight, so I exchanged for a 13. Then I did a dumb thing. I opened the box and threw all the packaging away without trying on the size 13. I have never had a size 13 be too small. When I decided to wear the shoes I couldnt believe how tight they were. I wore them anyway thinking they would stretch a little or break in. I was wrong, now I have a pair of shoes I cant wear or return.
