Whilst in Nottingham the other day I popped into Clarks in the Market Square. I was browsing the Originals when an Assistant came up to me to see if I needed any help. We got chatting and she told me that if I was interested in the Desert Boot then I was best to buy now as Clarks are withdrawing the current version and will re-release in the Autumn with improved materials at a cost of ... £200 !!!
Anyone else heard about this?
She said that they are scaling back as it is a niche market

Clarks dessies. Irresistible if the truth be told, especially to a mod. I have a pair for every day of the week plus the extra day of a leap year ;0)
I'm lovin' the look of these desert boots from Andy at Modshoes.
I've had one or two items myself Mark. A top geezer and friend but more importantly a first class company with a superb after sales service second to none. The true mark of a great business ;0)
That's it Alan ... I'm thinking of putting my Clarke's up for auction!
From time to time this independent business will put out a decent pair of casual kickers. They're more for the yacht and sailing types but if you don't like to follow the herd, then they are worth having a look at.

I can vouch for the boat shoes Mark as I have had a couple of pairs over many years, absolutely bomb proof. I'm not too keen on their logo so the subtle or logo less styles catch my eye from time to time. You can't go far wrong on the Goodyear welted construction, which to me, usually denotes a sign of quality.
