Verdict

The Clarks Wave2 Active is a solid performer — a everyday walker scoring 81/100 in SoleHunt's data-driven evaluation, drawing on 0 consumer reviews and 0 independent expert tests. Tipping the scales at 340g, it is on the heavier side for a everyday walker. The 24mm heel stack — a minimal stack — delivers a medium-firm ride at 36 HC, returning 46% of impact energy and feeling cushion-focused rather than reactive underfoot. Geometrically, the Wave2 Active runs on a mid 10mm drop that works with most running gaits, with a 14mm forefoot stack that maintains the traditional heel-elevated geometry runners with tight calves often prefer. Fit-wise, the toebox measures 100mm — extra-wide, suited to broad or bunion-prone feet — and the upper is available in D/2E widths. UK sizing. Wide option available. Good for medium to wide feet. The removable insole makes it compatible with custom orthotics. It is designed for all-day walking, smart casual, office, british quality seekers, and performs less well for running or technical terrain.
