Clarks

As with Marks and Spencer, I would like to challenge the popular view that Clarks is a shop for old people and children. Because it puts so much emphasis on quality and comfort, so many people believe that Clarks can’t possibly be fashionable. If I’m completely honest, I used to hold this view too. I thought Clarks was wear you bought school shoes for children, and wear older people bought «sensible shoes». And the last time I was in Clarks was because my Grandma needed a new pair of shoes. While she went off to find something, my mum and I sat and waited by the window. It wasn’t long before we noticed that there were some really, really nice shoes on the shelf next to us. By the time my Grandma had finished, my mum had chosen a gorgeous pair of clogs (which are very much in fashion right now), while I’d found myself a lovely pair of wedges. I was surprised at how stylish Clarks’ shoes actually are when you get inside and have a proper look. And because it’s Clarks, you know that the shoes are top quality, and you’ll be able to wear them all day in complete comfort.
Obviously you’re never going to go into Clarks and get a pair of 5″ stilettos to wear clubbing, but for some comfortable, well-​made and totally fashionable day shoes, Clarks should definitely not be ignored.

This is a particularly good place to come if you have particularly wide, small, or generally a little bit weird, feet. So few high street shoe shops actually cater to these needs, it makes a pleasant and handy alternative. There has to be a reason why Clarks is still going after all these years. And, of course, there is a very good one. They sell shoes of a superb quality.
Admittedly you’re maybe not going to find all the most up to date fashions in a Clarks shop, but you will find simple, comfortable, classic styles which are likely to last you a lifetime. If you need shoes sensible shoes, then this will always be the place to go.
Most people who were school children in Britain during the last 50 years will remember being dragged along by the hand to have their feet measured and fitted careful to new school shoes at the end of every August. Clarks deliver a very good service, and employees know their stuff.
