Clarks WTAF?

90% of my work shores are from Clarks and have been for years. I get this is a collaboration but honestly? Or am I really out of touch and this is what I need to be wearing.

Absolutely love the shade of blue though.

If I’m spending 250 quid on shoes I’m
not going to Clarkes.They are a lovely colour, shame they look like they were someone’s first attempt at making shoes.

Agree it's horrible. And that the colour (and the upper itself) are nice. But, noooooo! Nasty

What a pile of pretentious utter wank that description is. 😅

Haha they’re mental. Clarks should stick to what they do best. That’s their USP.

I’m actually angered by them. If they were the usual court shoe they do in that colour with a heel I’d have bought them - probably two of them. But they’ve taken something that usually sells and made it look as though it’s been jammed in a door. Any they trebled the price.

Who is the target market here?

I doubt that they will shift many, even in a sale. They are awful.

RhannionKPSS · 17/05/2025 16:36

Oh dear..those are terrible

I have never paid that much for a pair of shoes in my life. And these are just awful!

PaperBlinds · 17/05/2025 16:31

!!! The price! And also I feel really old - I don't understand what is going on at the back. They look like they are meant to look like they don't fit?

Won't people think they're 'seconds' as they look unfinished?
Rather expensive seconds!

It's giving broken shoe vibes
