Review of Clarks Men's Medway Smith Lace-Up Boot

Customer Ratings:

These boots are very comfortable right out of the box. There is a slight "rock" molded into the sole and the leather upper is flexible, so no real break-in is needed. The footbed is perfectly flat with a padded insole; if you need arch support (as I do), you'll need to add a thin arch support insert. Fortunately, the boot is roomy enough to accommodate that. The boot is comfortably wide across the toes, but not sloppy, and can be laced up snugly to hold your heel in place without slipping. The inside of the boot is fabric lined but, fortunately, there is a split-leather heel cup to protect the liner from wear.

Quality seems good the leather is evenly pebbled with no blemishes, the stitching is tight, well-aligned and seems sturdy, the welt is double-stitched and there is no excess glue on the sides of the soles. The eyelets are metal. The sole is definitely softer than a Vibram hiking boot sole, which contributes to the comfort but will mean faster wear over time.

For the price (slightly over $100), I think these are a good value in a casual boot. They are no substitute for proper hiking or work boots, of course, but they aren't meant to be. I liked these enough that I ordered another pair in a different color.

This is my first pair of Clark's, and I love them. They were pretty stiff at first but broke in after just an hour of normal use. I ordered a 1/2 size smaller, and they still fit a little bigger than usual, but I think going a full size lower would be too small. The reason for a 4/5 rating is that they are more difficult than most shoes to get on and off in addition to the size issue. There is also really no arch support, but the sole is very cushy and comfy which I didn't realize until wearing them with normal socks rather than thick wool ones. Finally, the sole is pretty anti-slip in my opinion. Overall I would definitely recommend these shoes.

Honest reviews on Clarks Men's Medway Smith Lace-Up Boot

I have been looking at this boot for several weeks. This is my first shoe-boot purchase on line. Reviews indicated the boot ran large. I ordered the boot one half size smaller than I normally wear. It fit perfectly.

It is very comfortable. You can wear with jeans or dress it up with better slacks.

It is a boot and a little bulkier than a shoe. Just saying.

I love Clark shoes and was not disappointed. Great craftsmanship.

I've had these shoes for roughly 3 weeks now and i've been impressed.

Pros: THey are comfortable right out of the box and have a nice color.

Leather is supple and not very stiff. The stitching is tight and superb.

I did as previous reviewers suggested and ordered a full size down and that fit well.

Cons: the shoe gets scuffed up very easily. After 2 weeks it was very unsightly.

Ended up treating with a leather cleaner/conditioner and they ended up looking like new.

Great shoe.
