I am now on my FOURTH pair of Clarks that have soles that disintegrate. I've bought Clarks for years, but they will no longer be on my list. One pair had only been worn twice.

I have a pair of Clarks shoes that the soles are disintergating. These shoes have hardly been worn and still have the sole imprint on the bottom. Can I send them back and get another pair or a refund? Thanks.

I agree with the previous comments. Yesterday, I arrived at work leaving pieces of a disintegrating sole on the carpet. The pieces came from what will be my last pair of Clarks shoes. The shoes were not new, but I'd only worn them 4 times.

Always loved the sandals, but the last two pairs developed big cracks across the soles within 6 weeks of purchase.

Too bad the company seems to be using defective materials for shoe soles.

My husband's shoes after two years fell apart at a concert. Basically he was leaving his soles behind. He loved thoses shoes and was quite upset. The tops were in perfect shape. I also just lost a pair of Clarks. They were about 2 years old and not worn very much since we live in Florida and closed-in shoes are only worn maybe 2 months a year. I wore them out to dinner and lo0ked down and saw that the sole was separated from the front of the shoe. The rest of the shoe looked brand-new. What is happening to the Clark reputation? Why so many malfunctions? Can we get our money back on the purchase. I took my husband to buy new shoes and he refused to try on the Clarks!

See my pictures of sole wear after 2 months!

http://getsatisfaction.com/clarks/topics/clarks_hollow_soles_wear_out_in_months

Clarks hollow soles wear out in months!
I loved Clarks until I bought this last pair! They are outdoor waterproof slip on's or at least that was one of the features that drew me to the shoe. I walk my dog a few times a day an thought these would be good.

I am very upset that after 3 months the soles have worn out to reveal that they are just a thin skin that covers a hollow foam core. Now they soak up water and get wet on the inside making them cold and soggy to wear as the foam in the sole retains the water!

What a stupid design and what poor quality. They should have a solid sole or one designed to last a least 3 years of use! The tops are in good shape well made but the soles have very quickly fallen apart making the shoes unwearable.

Beware of these shoes they have hollow sole! They will wear quickly and soak up water and mud that will track into your house and car like a rubber stamp!
