Oberon Boot.

As I mentioned before they were out, the recently released Clarks Oberon are a simple sturdy boot for the chilly months. Based on the traditional style of the 1975 Polyveldt construction coming in a lovely tan nubuck, classic style. nice colour, suave. Available from Schuh.

First Look.

Whilst most out there are/were chasing obscure trainers made thirty years ago in a now defunct country, the 'Clarks Polyveldt' were always my 'grail' (cringes, a bit) I've always worn shoes and a lot of the time it's been from the Clarks range. So the forthcoming release of the Oberon and Rambler models fill me with desire.

These are as close as you'll get to the originals, the old school (literally) shoes of the seventies.
