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?

They are very masculine.

If you wore them with Farah slacks and a pullover then, yes, Spend.

But worn with my collection of feminine tea dresses and skinny jeans and girly blouses I reckon I'll be able to pull them off .

They are a lot less chunky than men's brogues. They are neat and refined, and not at all Mr Man-y.

Another Hamble Oaks lover!

I've got a brown and cream pair from last year. Got lots of compliments about them!

I'm off to have a look at this year's offerings now.

I bought the pewter ones at the weekend - to go with the tan, black and navy patent ones from previous years! I deeply regret not buying the green ones from last year.

I love them. So comfortable. I wear them with dresses and always get compliments when I wear them.

I yearn for the pewter ones but fear that I shall have to stick with my pewter broguish DMs, which admittedly rock.

They are even more masculine, of course, but as I wear a size 3 and have enormous breasts I have so far escaped any gender confusion.

Does anyone have a discount code for Clarks online purchases?

I had two pairs and both of them had the heels fall off after about 6 months. And they hurt my feet at first, but I do have elephant sized feet. I miss them now though!

I've worn the black patent ones for the last two winters and they are ace. Shiny new navy ones are in the cupboard ready for autumn, can't wait!

Another lover of them here, I wear orthotics and they hold them nicely in place.

I also have a pair of clarks brogues with a buckle on from a couple of years back, same structure, just a different fastening.

Hmmm maybe I need patent ones too...

I've got the mushroom coloured ones from 2 or 3 years ago and I wear them so much for work. I've also got the teal coloured suede brogues they did last winter which are comfy and look good too. I wear them with pretty much anything when I'm not wearing boots in the winter and all the time the rest of the year.

The pewter or the marron and biege ones are very tempting.

'If you wore them with Farah slacks and a pullover then, yes, Spend'

OK, that's my Autumn look sorted!

I love a slightly masculine shoe with a floral print dress or a pencil skirt or whatever, I like the contrast

I have a tan pair and they are very comfy indeed, almost as comfy as trainers. The pewter pair are stunning, but I already have a pair of silver loafers so I don't need them

I love a Bloke Shoe.

I would love Farah slacks.
Anyway I have tan ones from a few years ago that still look good. Btw, the price has gone up by a whole 20 quid since I bought them. Ludicrous.

I think of them as Nun Shoes.

I have just hoisted myself out my chair to go and peer at a pair of Clarks brogues i have had in my wardrobe for a while. It would seem i have a pair of Hamble Oak brogues, maroon colour, brand new, half price in a sale last year! I have never worn them as i had no idea what to wear them with. Now i have lots of ideas. Thank you all!

Pewter ones have just arrived. I loooooove them.

Fab cashew that's you sorted!

How do you wear them? With a dress and tights? Don't they look a bit incongruous? I would love to try them but fear I would look like a golf club...

You don't wear socks with them? See I wouldn't ever have thought not to wear socks with them... I fear I am too old to be hip.

Just waiting for a text letting me know my pewter ones have arrived in store.

Now I want a pair!
Any Clarks codes around?

How do you wear them?

Dress and tights
Pencil skirt and tights
Skinny trousers / jeans and socks, either statement or plain
With those invisible sock liner things on crap days in the summer

I have cankles so a no with dresses from me. The pewter ones are mmmmhmmmm though. Hmmmmmm.

I'm also thinking of buying the pewter ones but being a clumsy oaf, am worried about how I'll deal with scuffed toes!

Any ideas? I'm sure Clarks (or elsewhere) will have a suitably coloured polish but I'm thinking that once the metallic finish gets scuffed, that's it gone forever?
