Re: Clarks TSV - August 27, 2024

I really wanted to like the TSV but it is too plain. It's obvious Clarks designed the shoe to hit a price point for QVC and that's why they ended up with a basic, run of the mill shoe.  The print style is a repeat of one they used a couple of years ago for a TSV on the Ashland Bubble. I have those. 

 

I'm bored with the super casual look of Skechers and wanted a nice leather everyday shoe.  Oh well. Looks like I'll be going to the mall this weekend.

@Catch71 - I bought that one from the Clark's outlet in the black suede.  They are very cute.

I guess we are in the minority @JeanLouiseFinch, because I think these shoes are charming in the leopard print. I would feel just fine wearing them outside of my home,  somewhere. I have been wearing sensible shoes for decades now, and my feet have no problems, currently, as a result of wearing properly fitting shoes for an extended period of time. I consider myself lucky. As I have wide feet, I have been wearing shoes that are considered less stylish than what fashion dictates, and I am okay with that.

I like the bronze but often wear trouser socks in winter.  What color would you wear with the bronze?

I ended up ordering a pair in leopard.  If I like them, I may go back for the bronze.

Re: Clarks TSV - August 27, 2024

WOW!!!!  Of ALL the styles this very old shoe company has created in the past, THIS has to be the most UNstylish, man-like, ugly clodhopper Clark's has EVER done. What in the world were they thinking with this design?

 

Wonder how many they sold of this one? No never mind I really DO NOT care to know!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Clarks TSV - August 27, 2024

There was a time when Clarks shoes were handcrafted in UK, but the company sold out decades ago, and now they are cheaply made imported shoes just like most other brands. Many of the craftsmen who made the top quality Clarks shoes left the company and jumped to a different UK company called Hotter. You can still order the Hotter brand online, but I don't know if they're still made in UK. I owned one pair of Hotter shoes, and that pair lasted forever just like the original Clarks brand. Hand stitched, not glued.
