I really like the look of these and I'm sure they'd be comfy and I'd wear them lots to work. But £79!?

i'd say too much, there's more space than leather. hth Smile!

Lottapianos · 25/04/2013 16:02

Oh wow, they are fab! I'm a big Clarks fan Smile That does sound quite pricey but Clarks shoes are dead comfy and last well. If you really love them, I would go for it

piratecat · 25/04/2013 16:04

I like these ones

Allthingspretty · 25/04/2013 16:09

Yes i would say so

BehindLockNumberNine · 25/04/2013 16:16

No.

I think they look lovely and in my experience (as someone who is very hard on shoes) Clarks last an age so these are worth the price tag.

And I love them. (if I were not over 6ft I would consider buying them myself but alas it is low-to-no heel all the way for me)

ouryve · 25/04/2013 16:19

Way too much for the amount of wear they'd get (I'm ignoring the scary heels). I spend about that on a decent pair of boots and get a couple of winters out of them.

Catbiscuit · 25/04/2013 16:23

They look lovely! In fact so nice, I am now thinking of buying them too :-)

Facebaffle · 25/04/2013 16:23

Does seem a lot of money but I bet they're really comfy.

Clarks regularly have 20% codes hanging around. Might be worth scouting the 'net for one.

TheCraicDealer · 25/04/2013 16:26

Gah, I've wanted these for like a year! They're like Swedish Hasbeens but cheaper and don't look like they'd cut the feet off you. I've ordered these for the summer. Love them!

Bunbaker · 25/04/2013 16:27

Yes. Sorry, but I think they are hideous.

Bunbaker · 25/04/2013 16:27

And they look really uncomfortable.

Lottapianos · 25/04/2013 16:30

They are also fab CraicDealer Smile


Let's hear it for comfy shoes!!!!

fromparistoberlin · 25/04/2013 16:33

what craic said, very hasbeen like

I see what you nmean though, feels wrong to spend that much at clarks!

look if you like them get them OP!!!!

Bluebell99 · 25/04/2013 16:39

Goodness me , I probably have no clue, but they look very frumpy to me..

IntheFrame · 25/04/2013 16:44

piratecat - those are great.

had my bunions done 12 months ago - ready for a sandal now!

FunnysInLaJardin · 25/04/2013 16:46

I always buy Clarks these days and also wait for the sale and then buy a few pairs. With a bit of luck those will be down to about £40 by the end of the summer. But then I am a cheap skate and don't pay full price for anything if I can help it!

TheCraicDealer · 25/04/2013 16:49

Nooo, they're "rolling stock" iyswim as they're part of the originals range. Don't get reduced unless they're weird colours otherwise I'd have about ten pairs

GypsyFloss · 25/04/2013 16:53

I tried these on but felt like I was channelling my Ma circa 1974 Grin

freddiefrog · 25/04/2013 16:56

I wouldn't pay £79 for them

I really don't like them for a start, but £79 for a pair of shoes I'd probably only wear about twice per year, is too too much for what they are IMO

Startail · 25/04/2013 17:04

£79 is too much for any pair of shoes except long boots.

£45 is absolute top price I'd pay for sandals and those must be low wedge every day last 3 years type of sandles.

Thise are worth £22 max as they are too high to walk in and too clumpy to go out in.

I'd say too expensive.

Clarks are getting a bit too pricey these days imo and quality does not reflect the price.

They remind me of the Scholls my mum used to wear in the 70's.

I love them, can't tell whether they are worth it or not till I had a closer look.

Gerrof · 25/04/2013 17:55

I wouldn't pay that for a pair of sandals that look like my gran's scholl's.

I wouldn't pay that for Clarks shoes anyway.
