Clarks Shoes (Shop)

As a child, my first real memory of shoe shopping was that of buying clarks shoes. My family lived in the country and the local town was fairly small and only had one shoe shop. The only shoes they seemed to sell for children were Clarks. I recall people of my generation, had one pair of shoes for school, one for casual, a pair of trainers and a fancy good pair of shoes for a Sunday. This seems to have changed over the years with so many shops making shoes at a very cheap price. Children now seem to have as many shoes as outfits. I'm not saying this is a bad thing, (I bought my first born son ... more

Doodles One thing I have always bought for my son is good quality shoes. I have always believed with Clarks that you pay for the fitting service as well as the shoes. I wore Clarks shoes as a child and it is a brand I have brought into now I am a parent. I looked at many shoes for the summer but decided on Clarks doodles as my son seems to fall over an awful lot I preferred his toe to be enclosed but also wanted his feet to keep cool. What is a doodle? Doodles are shoes specifically designed by Clarks that are targeted at the age group from between one and six years of age. They do designs a ... more

One of my biggest problems in life is finding shoes that will fit me, that aren’t ugly, clumsy and unflattering. I have wide, size 8 feet with a very high instep. Shopping for decent looking footwear that is comfortable for me, can be a fruitless, frustrating search with nothing to show for it at the end of the day. Clarks is a company that until a few years ago, I did not associate with fashion and style. However at my wits end one day, I decided to take a look inside and see what was on offer. Since that day I have never looked back and I always take a look inside when it is time to ... more

I have a few things in my life that I insist on having the best for. After buying the best for my eyes (I wear specs) I ensure that I treat my feet on reasonably equal terms. Basic rules here are look after the bits that would make a difference to me if they buggered up! In my younger days I used to buy whatever came to hand (or foot) first and it either rubbed, dropped to bits within a couple of months or was just plain uncomfortable. Now I am a little older I tend to think about what I am buying. Why Clarks? The image isn't exactly the happenin' fashion statement you may think! That maybe ... more

It is very silly but for some reason I couldn’t wait to buy my little boy his first pair of proper shoes. In my desire to do everything “right” I had avoided putting Alex in pram shoes and always made sure his socks and sleep suits were not too tight around his feet so hampering their normal development but by the time he was around 10 months he was cruising around the furniture at home and it was only a matter of days before he would be walking properly so off I went to my local Clarke’s. Why? Simply because my Mum had always made me wear Clarke’s shoes and they were the best, right? The ... more
