Clarks K Shoes
20 years
15 pairs
These shoes were given to me, second hand, by a very close friend when my husband was made redundant in 1992. They have served me well as interview shoes during that time and over the 20 years since. Most recently I wore them to my son’s wedding.
The gift was touching at the time and it turned out to be the first of many significant gifts we received from friends, like having a holiday paid for anonymously, so I’m very fond of what they represent even though they’re not particularly comfortable.
When I tried to have them resoled for the wedding, I was told that it was not possible because of the the material they were made of which could disintegrate at any moment. He did repaint the heels thought.
