Clarks Hamble Oak

[PamPoovey]

Has anyone got em?

I'm hankering after a pair in dark pewter. Think they'd suit my 'slightly sexy librarian' aesthetic

Are they comfy?

I have 2 pairs and they are very comfy. I love the pewter!

verenti thank you for being my enabler. Off to purchase

I love hamble oaks. I've got the burgundy patent and tan leather and am planning to add the navy patent to my collection this autumn. As a former slightly sexy librarian (more of an unsexy university administrator these days) your aesthetic is very appealing!

I'm so excited to see this, I bought these online in Navy Patent and are coming tomorrow. Just planning my autumn wardrobe around them.

They have pewter? ! I have tan, black and the burgundy. V v comfortable!

here name change.

I have silver + grey hair so I reckon they're gonna look pretty righteous on me

I have them in matt black and have big feet. DH has said on a number of occasions that it looks like I've worn my husband's shoes to work by accident - he thinks they are too blokeish. I don't care because they are very, very comfy but I am coveting the pewter ones as they would look more feminine. Plus I like shiny things a lot.

Damn you Pam! I've just had a look at them again via your link and I'm even more tempted.

I hear you Rom.

I'm planning to offset their masculinity by wearing with pretty dresses and skirts.

Can't wait!!

Yup. The mushroom coloured ones from 2 years ago.

Stupendously comfi!

Love mine, they are a glossy burgundy colour from last year, for my Miss Marple vibe . Going to check out the pewter.

I wanted the mushroom ones! Went to buy them and they'd taken them off . No luck in finding them in the outlet yet (and probably won't).

I have them in cream and a sort of patent oxbloof. Love 'em.

None of this seasons colours are doing it for me at the mo, but I do like the chunky tassled loafers.

Ah. Just seen the pewter. LOVE.

Anyone worn them with skinny jeans, how do they look?

They work rather well with skinnies. I prefer them with skinnies, not to keen on them with bootcut jeans.

Sorry Marvin. Have you tried eBay?

I love my black ones and have just ordered the pewter ones last night. Thinking of getting the navy patent too! I'm a flats girl me.

Yes, very comfy.

Think I will have to get some. Can picture them with skinny turned up jeans and cosy winter socks. Hmm, dark tan or wine, I think.

Several times, cat. Sigh. I sometimes see a size 3 or a size 9, but never a bog standard 6 ..

That sucks Marvin

Love really living the sock idea. I wore skinnies today with some cheapy new look brogues and they looked fab. It's what inspired me to get a naicer more snazzy pair

Will report back when they arrive!

I wear mine with chinos and a shirt or stripy top for work. Work well with thick tights and skirts too.

I love love love the Hamble Oaks - I drool over the new colours every season I have a pair in neutral and Matt black (although I secretly wish I'd got patent as they look more mannish than some of the other colours) and they are the comfiest shoes I own. I wore them for most of a city break to Geneva (lots of walking) and they were awesome - not a single blister or rub.

I'm also craving the pewter ones! Or navy patent - I'm wearing a lot of blues/navy but don't have any matching shoes for winter season so they'd be totally justified

My dd wore them as school shoes for years. And going out shoes. They were fantastic.

I think it gets round the shoe/ sock dilemma I have when wearing Converse when i hate that you can see socks, but think it would look quite nice with these, sort of cosy and wintery if you know what I mean.
