Clark’s Shoes

They sell women’s shoes here, but what do I care? You ladies have department stores where ENTIRE FLOORS are dedicated to Uggs and Jimmy-​whatevers. Let us menz have equal store space, dangit. And that’s one big noticeable difference when you walk into any Clark’s location – men’s and women’s are given ample space. Even the outside of the store says, «Ye Olde Cobbler,» with it’s faux brick and lanterns.
When a man becomes a «man of a certain age,» he needs man of a certain age shoes that look hip and not geriatric. And that man of a certain age would be me. I need cushioning and major arch support, damn it, and my 12 year-​old, $ 500 Ferragamos that I wore a total of seven times and my closet full of aging, but arch-​less, Donald J. Pliners, Vans and Tsubos are looking and feeling tired.
Enter Clark’s. Stylish shoes that are extremely comfortable no matter how young or old you are. One of the best selections of work and sport shoes without breaking your budget. That suede buck is only $ 89??? I’ll take one in every color. That comfy and sleek black mid rise with the snazzy buckle comes in three styles for $ 99 each? Here’s my credit card. Have them sent to my high-​rise back in Chicago, please.
Ladies, you won’t find your eff-​me-​pumps here. Just durable, fun dress up & dress down shoes that will last more than a season and not melt your credit card.
But wait… there’s a customer loyalty program that just got me a free belt? Fine. I’ll wear that out of the store.
Super friendly folks, too. I forgot the young sales lady’s name, but they’re all nice.

After searching unsuccessfully for wide shoes for my arch impaired husband, we wandered into Clarks and hit the Mother lode. We should have realized that English wide feet could be accommodated at an English shoe store, silly us. They had some great deals and when he found a pair that were perfect he was able to have a second pair shipped free of charge to our home. The clerk, Edward, was very helpful and knowledgeable and they have a frequent buyer program to boot. excuse the pun.
