FINALLY CLARKS FOR WINTER.......

Shanus — Fri, 04 Aug 2023 12:27:37 GMT

I always purchase Clarks Collection shoes wherever I find them...Nord. rack, Amazon, etc.

TSV is a bit bulky with the "lug" soles, but I purchased the green and the black tweed.

Finally a shoe without the white soles. Lol. The padding inside is perfection and I have some pair that I've been wearing for 10 yrs. very comfy still.

I have at least 10 pair of Clarks. They wear like iron. I have shooties, pumps, ballet flats and loafers .

I just bought a similar loafer last month, so I will skip this TSV.

Enjoy your purchase.

Loafers are hot hot HOT this coming season. I do like them, love the black tweed which are really a herringbone, not tweed. Good looking anyway, very stylish. They look good with slim jeans/pants.

@PINKdogWOOD .....especially my jeans that mostly have rolled hems since tailoring (if you find one that didn't go out of business) have gone way up in price.

For fall, the menswear look is IN. I don't follow trends, but have always dressed Annie Hall/tailored, so the loafers caught my eye.

I really liked them too, but no narrows so I'll have to pass.

If I want Clarks I go to the outlet.

@10sluvr Ohhh, Bass Weejuns - when I was in high school, you were not cool if you didn't have a pair. We all wore the one that resembled saddle shoes - BW was a light tan leather with the navy across.

Too cool for school!!!!

oh yes, you and me both!!!!! @Shanus

I've always loved a men's wear look on women. I dressed a lot like that too. I LOVED to wear a vest, long sleeve tailored shirt, trousers and a jacket/blazer.

You're making me miss all those vests I had and have since given away!

The sizing worries me, but other than that, the loafers would be cute with fall outfits.

@Shanus, what are tailors in your area charging for hemming now? I haven't noticed any of the alterations shops around here shutting down. I just left some jeans to be hemmed yesterday at the place I normally go. $10. Can't really roll up boot cut. Of course a boot cut is less of a boot cut once you have to hem them. I complained at Kohls that they no longer carry many shorts in jeans in-store anymore.

@PINKdogWOOD I've seen vests in stores for fall.

@Icegoddess Jeans have been hemmed for as much as $25!!! My tailor takes the original "ends" off, hemms the jeans...sometimes 3"-4"...then sews the original hem back on the jeans.

In my smaller college town, there were only 2 tailors besides the cleaners which were OK for a straight hem on slacks, but couldn't do jeans so they looked untouched. I'm kind of particular. I can't wear petite pants...too short in the rise.

Finally No White Soles.

I saved a lot of money. I never bought one white sole shoe. Never liked them.

I used to be big fan,and had many pairs. However over last couple years, they changed (dare I say cheapened) their manufacturing and 1st of all, their sizing is always too small, compared to average sizing.
Second, the quality has gone seriously down hill.

Sorry, no offense meant, but that's my experience. I no longer purchase.
