The Unbend casual oxford from Clarks is the perfect everyday silhouette. Its stitched overlays keep your look a tad sophisticated, and the shoe is part of the Clarks' Unstructured collection, which incorporates a unique ventilation system in its design for the utmost in breathability. Clarks has been in business for over 100 years making very fine men's dress shoes in a variety of styles. Featuring a wide range of top-quality components, Clarks gives you the options you desire in the quality you demand. Review: So comfortable. Like running shoes. - I'll keep this simple. This is the most comfortable shoe I've ever worn. I wear this to work, (I stand up for 8-10 hours a day). I wear this around town. It looks fantastic in either setting. Ok, so what makes it unique? The description says something about the breathability. It absolutely, totally breathes. My feet sweat a lot. EWW! BUT, my feet are so comfortable in these shoes, I seriously never want to take them off my feet. All I want to do is make sure I order a few more pairs before they stop making them. OR if I can no longer find them for like $90.00 instead of $160 at a local shoe store where you get attacked by a sales person. The leather breathes. It is extremely well made. The outsole is incredible. You see, it looks kinda like some casual walking shoe from a distance, BUT it's built kind of like a running shoe. Oh yeah, MOST IMPORTANT POINT: for some reason, Clarks sizes are TOO BIG, JUST LIKE EVERYONE ELSE ON HERE SAYS. Here's my reference for you: I wear a size 12.5 D in Men's Mizuno running shoes, a 12 D in most other shoes. I THINK my TRUE SIZE is 12.5 D like Mizuno says. But for this shoe, I wear 11.5 D. It fit perfectly. Slightly tight the very first half hour, then the leather stretched like it should that little bit to what your foot is shaped like. The most helpful sizing guide that helped me know this shoe was right for me was the EUROPEAN MEASUREMENT. I'm a size 46 EU. I suggest you find your European Size, go to the Clarks website and look at their sizing guide, and pick the US size that matches the EU size. You should buy this. Review: A great shoe with truly wide sizes - The unstructured series are a great shoes as a whole, almost as comfortable as tennis shoes, fit with any definition of business casual, and provide the support that most non-athletic shoes completely neglect. They make both the lace up version here and a slip on depending on your taste. I own both black and brown, both of which have proved scuff resistant and have held their color and shine. The picture on desertcart is actually pretty true to color, the shoes are neither polished to a shine nor look like unfinished leather, which I see as adding to their versatility. Clarks Unstructured have been the best option for wide casual dress shoes I have yet to find. The XW is truly extra wide, up there in interior space with EEE work boots. The shoes also run true to size, which can make ordering easier or more difficult depending on what else you wear. My foot measures a ten but has always required 12 in tennis shoes, but the ten fits just right in Clarks. In conclusion, it's a great shoe for most customers and a top choice for those with wider feet.

Very comfortable shoe for wide feet
I have two pairs of Irish Setter dress shoes I bought a few years back and really like them -- they are durable, run wide, look nice and most importantly are comfortable. Unfortunately Irish Setter stopped making casual shoes (although their work boots are just as nice). I decided to go and search for a comfortable pair of shoes that also ran wide (I wear a EE to EEE). I read the reviews for the Clark shoes and most were quite positive so I decided to give them a try (the Amazon discount helped). They are a bit more expensive but I can say they are well worth the price. I think this is the first shoe I can remember that had no break-in period. They fit great and are extremely comfortable -- at the end of the day my feet are not the least bit sore. I do a fair amount of walking (nurse practitioner in a hospital) so these shoes are perfect. Plus they look good with an ample length of lace (maybe a bit too long but that is being picky). My only hope is that Clarks is still making a similar shoe when this pair wears out.

Great shoe, but go at least half size small
I have foot problems and am usually extremely cautious about buying shoes, especially ones that do not have a soft toe area. I used to wear a pair of Clarks years ago so I thought I would give these a try despite my foot problems. I have been wearing them a couple months now and they are extremely comfortable and I think they look great in both business and casual settings. I wear them to work everyday in a business casual environment and I occasionally forgo sneakers for these when going out on the weekends. They are great for standing and walking and pair well with slacks or jeans. Materials and construction are also great, I feel like I could get years out of these as opposed to the six to eight months I usually get out of a pair of shoes. They do run on the large side, other reviews mentioned this so I went a half size smaller than usual and they were still too big. So I exchanged them for a full size smaller than I usually wear and they fit great. Amazon was quick with the exchange as usual.

Great quality shoe.
Clarks shoes are awsome. I' ve only owned one other pair of Clarks before I purchased this new pair. In the past I would buy a $60.00 pair of famous brand shoes at the local shoe discount places. Wearing these bargain shoes daily and they would only feel comfortable for about two months then the insides would start to weaken and slowly breakdown. After five months my feet would hurt so bad that I couldn't wait to get a new pair of shoes. I bought my first pair of Clarks only because at the time I needed new shoes and I could not find anything available in my size. That's when I went to a Clarks store at a local outlet mall. They had a pair of Oxfords I liked in my size. I tried them on and they felt great. I had to think twice about buying them at around $90.00. I have to tell you though, They were the best damn shoes I ever bought. I wore them daily and they felt just as comfortable at the end of a year. Even then, they were still more comfortable than the bargain shoes were after four months. Clarks shoes are well worth the extra money. They are extremely well made. This style is great looking for casual or semi-dressed up. I still wear the old ones that these replaced as yard work beaters. I'm sold on Clarks brand shoes.

Shoes for Bigfoot. Bigfoot is pleased.
I have been looking for a stylish black oxford to replace my everyday Red Wings that the company no longer makes. I have a wide, flat and, oh yes, wide foot -- 13 4E or 5E depending on the shoe. I have tried countless of shoe companies to find a comfortable everyday shoe for office and casual wear, and they are either ill fitting or unstylish or both. Dunham, Drew, Mt. Emey, Propet and others all failed me (though Propet makes a damn comfortable and sturdy boot). I received this shipment quickly, which was a pleasant surprise. I think it was two or three days. Seriously. It was so fast that I checked my Zappos account to make sure they didn't charge me. The shoes fit this Bigfoot like a glove. Actually, it fit like a shoe that fit perfectly. Rather than shaking my fists in anger at the sky like I usually do when trying on shoes, I nearly cried tears of joy. They are comfortable, sturdy looking, stylish. The only complaint is that they were a tiny bit too long for a 13. But some heel inserts fixed that easily. They still took a couple of days to break in, so they are no Holy Grail Red Wings, but they are also about $75 less than what Red Wing is offering, and the Red Wing guy was going to charge me a $15 "restocking" fee if the ones I wanted to order didn't fit. No thanks. I found a new go-to brand. Thank you, Clarks Unstructured. Thank you.

Decent shoe with one irritating flaw
I generally really like Clarks shoes, and have been wearing the brand for over 40 years now. These are OK. The leather is soft, and like most of their current lines, appear well made. As with other Clarks, order a half to full size down. I ordered my usual 10.5 even though I'm an 11. These are a bit roomier than usual though - a bit fatter, which is lucky as you'll see. They aren't as light as their newer shoes, but I hope that's going to be an advantage in terms of longevity. They look smart enough for the west coast - not sure if the're quite smart enough for a real city though (I live in a college town). The one flaw is the sole. They have a padded, orthotic-feeling insole with some raised stitching and a button-like logo. That irritated my feet no end. I was definitely going to send them back as it made it feel like there was gravel in the shoe! Luckily, they were a bit large, so I went onto ebay and bought some thin leather insoles (made by Tacco), and that seems to have sorted that out. That said, I don't think I would ever have paid full price for these. They just don't feel like $150 shoes. So for overpricing one star off, and for the irritating insole, another one.

Great work shoe that you can take to work or to play.
I suffer from painfully sore feet and have a difficult time finding a shoe that I can wear to work in all day without hobbling. I had heard that Clarks have a reputation for being comfortable and about a year ago I a pair of black UnStuctured Un.Ravel shoes and have loved them, so I ordered these (Un.Bend model) in brown. The fit is a bit large, which is standard for Clarks, and is what I now expect. The foot bed is soft and accommodating and the toe box is nice and roomy. The leather is nice and soft on the outside, and the footbed is supportive and extremely comfortable. This is a shoe that can go from semi-formal work attire to casual I highly recommend this shoe specifically and the Clarks Unstructured line in general.
