I bought sets of shoes and boots I like and put to one side to wear at later dates (boots still not worn) I recently started to wear one pair of the shoes and the upper is fraying where the elastic bands sat The soles prove they have little wear Apparently they were produced 2016 (not the year I bought them, some time later from outlet) Because I can’t prove when I bought them and Clark’s using date of manufacture they will not do anything about it You can tell these are a bad design with the electric bands rubbing the upper and taking off the coating Totally disgusted in Clark’s response They should be ashamed
