What to know about this clog
Clarks builds around a cushioned, flexible sole rather than a rigid one, which suits walking more than standing still. Leather uppers breathe and mould, which matters more over a long day than any amount of padding does.
A leather-lined footbed absorbs and releases moisture through the day, which is the reason it stays comfortable where a synthetic lining turns clammy. A rubber outsole grips wet floors in a way a smooth leather or wooden base does not, which is why it turns up on almost everything sold for kitchen and hospital work.
Built for jobs spent upright. Standing still and walking punish feet differently, and this is built for the first.
Black is the colour most workplace dress codes specify, and the one that hides toe-box scuffs best. It greys as the finish dries — conditioner brings it back. Leave about a centimetre in front of your longest toe, and check that your foot is not spilling over the sides of the footbed — that is a width problem, not a length one.
Condition every six to eight weeks for daily-wear shoes. More often than that and you soften the leather past the point where it holds shape.
