				<description>&#060;p&#062;LIke Rae, I thought of adding a nice insole to those Target boots for comfort.  Some of the Dr. Scholl's insoles don't take up enough room to notice.

				<description>&#060;p&#062;I prefer the fit of the Target boots, but Clarks makes really comfy shoes.  Maybe worth getting an estimate from a cobbler on closing up the gap on the Clarks if you want all day, walking around all day kind of shoes.

				<description>&#060;p&#062;What Queen Mum said, but the Clarks would definitely hold up much better if you're looking for longevity for your $.

				<description>&#060;p&#062;Another vote for sewing up the notch, the gap at the top is the only thing I don't like about the Clarks.

				<description>&#060;p&#062;I really like the fit of the Target boots, but I imagine that the clark's are much higher quality. Perhaps a little bit of elastic across that notch to close it up would do the trick.
&#060;/p&#062;

				<description>&#060;p&#062;The thing is- there isn't really a gap on the Clark's. There is a cut out notch at the top that flips out a bit. If I put the ends of the notch together, they meet and fit my calf just like the Target ones do. They just appear to have a gap because of the notch. At first it really bothered me, but the quality and comfort is really a big difference, and I prefer the color. The more I think about it, the more I like the Clark's (sorry Angie).
&#060;/p&#062;

				<description>&#060;p&#062;Wow. Tough call. &#060;/p&#062;
&#060;p&#062;One thing I must say, you are a brilliant shopper; these are very definitely in the same category. We're comparing apples to apples here. Except for the comfort factor that is. I very slightly prefer the toe shape of the Clarks, but prefer the calf fit of the Target. &#060;/p&#062;
&#060;p&#062;Agree with Rae...can you do an insole? &#060;/p&#062;
&#060;p&#062;Having said that, maybe there is a way to deal with the little gap on the Clark's? Because if there is, there's no question about the quality there.
&#060;/p&#062;

				<description>&#060;p&#062;Clarks. Nice find, by the way. What a good shopper! First the jewelry cabinet and now these fab boots. You're on a roll, Khris.

				<description>&#060;p&#062;I like the look of the Target boots better, but I would still vote for the Clarks in terms of comfort if these are the two options.  I know a lot of people wear Target shoes without a comfort problem, but I can't do it.

				<description>&#060;p&#062;My Target Kayden utility boots have stood up to a LOT of abuse, but you're right that they are not the most comfortable boots in the history of boots. Do you have room to slip in an insole? Because I do prefer the fit of those over the Clarks.

				<description>&#060;p&#062;I'd go with the Clarks.   I have two pairs of very comfortable Clarks boots that are 6+ years old and still look like new.  The quality is obvious!

				<description>&#060;p&#062;I'd go with the Clarks - I have not touched either pair of these, but Clarks have held up for me for years; and I'm worried Target boots may fall apart on you.

				<description>&#060;p&#062;The Target ones fit better around your calves, but I would probably go with the Clarks because they are more comfy and probably better quality.&#060;/p&#062;
&#060;p&#062;Are you intending these for skirts, or for tucking jeans?

				<description>&#060;p&#062;Khris, I like the way the Target boots look and fit a little better, and I think you do too. But I'm not going to be walking/standing in them like you will have to. I didn't think the Clarks looked that gappy, but the Target ones fit you perfectly. Argh!

				<description>&#060;p&#062;OK ladies- I need help determining which of these pair of boots are going to stay (although I already have a leaning).&#060;/p&#062;
&#060;p&#062;pair #1- lighter pair on the left side of the picture are Clark's that I found at Ross&#060;br /&#062;
pro's- I like the lighter color and the footbed is really comfy.&#060;br /&#062;
con's- their is a little split at the top of the shaft that makes the top of the boot look gappy that I don't like, and the hardware isn't the brass that I prefer.&#060;/p&#062;
&#060;p&#062;pair#2- are on sale at Target this week&#060;br /&#062;
pro's- sits flush against the top of my leg and has the brass hardware that I like.&#060;br /&#062;
con's- actually costs $5 more than the Clark's and not as comfy a footbed&#060;/p&#062;
&#060;p&#062;So what do you think- #1 or #2?
&#060;/p&#062;
