Clarks gamble oak.

[hydeandrun]

anybody wearing them? are they comfy and long lasting? or will they be dead after a season?

They're both comfy and hard wearing.

My dd wears hamble oak shoes for school

I find them very comfortable although I've seen some posters say they have to break them in first. I'm generally very hard on shoes but they're pretty sturdy and wear well.

If by dead you mean out of fashion next season - we'll I've worn brogues on and off for around 40 years so I'm a bit at the idea that they're a seasonal trend. But yeah I guess they may not be in fashion for much longer cos that's how it works - in fact high fashion has probably already moved on. However they've always been around and I'm sure fans like me will carry on wearing them regardless.

I've a few pairs, probably from about 5 years ago, I find Clark's shoes suit me well (size 8 & some brands are a bit too neat). I've blue, black and brown ones with Harris tweed ones.

great, thanks!

Flo, I mean dead by worn out. I am not overly fashionable so not worried running behind times fashion wise next season

Ah right sorry In that case yes, I find them pretty hard wearing and I am a killer of shoes.

Great shoes, my pair are a few years old. Comfy and smart.

I find the insole very hard, there's no real cushioning. If I wear them more more than an hour or so, the soles of my feet go tingly.

I've been wearing hamble oaks for about 5 years and find them very comfortable and I walk several miles most days.

I think it's an exceptionally comfortable shoe. I have three pairs, all purchased 5 years ago, and wear them loads.

They’re gorgeous and last for years

Agree that they're quite comfortable but Clark's also do some bouncy brogue type things which are even more comfortable.

thanks, off to Clarks now.

They really helped with my plantar fasciitis. I'm on my feet all day and love them. Have them in 6 colours from silver to pink/beige multi, always buy in the sale!
