Is £79 too much for Clarks sandals??

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 bought my first pair of platform sandals in 1973 and they were very similar to these. At 14 I thought I looked really cool in them. At 54 no way.

I like those, but I wouldn't pay more than £45 or so for them.

Clarke last for ages so if you really like them and think you'll get 2-3 years out of them then its worth.

I don't like em much, heels too high for everyday wear for me.

Too dear

But op a dark brown version was reduced for ages on clarks website - think they were £47 but they seem to have gone now.

I think they are lovely, but a tad expensive.

I've been looking at these too and can't decide. If you could handle red or a darker brown, they were last year's colours and can be found on ebay for £30ish...can't vouch for the sandals or sellers though, obviously

I agree that Clarks have become too expensive. I love their shoes though as they are so comfy yet not hideously old fashioned. That is why I wait for the sales and buy what they have

Really boring IMO. And too high (for me, but not you I guess).
I would pay that and more for shoes but not from Clarks.

I like them, but I would never pay full price from Clarks, wait until they are reduced or there is a code.

Those flat ones are just Jesus Sandals. We had to wear them in school in the early 70s.
The Clarks wedge is a bit frumpy, but the one Piratecat linked to are much funkier.

That is a bit steep for sandals I reckon. The House of Fraser ones are nicer and cheaper imho

Another one who is reminded of circa 1974 (my mum, not me!) and another one who thinks Clarks are too expensive.

No not worth the money. Wouldn't pay more than £30 for them.

I agree that £79 is a surprising amount for a pair of Clarks sandals, but if you would get loads of wear out of them, then I think they would be a good buy. They'll be comfy, and will wear well, so a wise purchase on balance.

I tried the white but didn't like. Am hoping they do navy or red or something. They were very soft leather.

They do. Red black tan.
White too surgical
