My Clarks shoes exploded on a walk in one hour! Clarks says I am experiencing hydro rubber syndrome and it's my fault. Apparently I haven't walked in them enough to avoid the exploding rubber/sole of destruction. My complaint is exactly the same: I haven't walked enough in these shoes to wear them out, and they have EXPLODED on me prematurely! I've been jerked around by at least 4 different CSRs, and Clarks insists that I spend MY money to address their defective rubber/construction problem! Apparently Clarks is no longer standing behind their product so purchase accordingly. Bass, Born, Rockport, Merrill, Red Wing, Vasque, LLBean, Frye Boot and Wolverine have ALL stood behind their product in similar situations. They will continue to get my business in the future.
