Has anyone else noticed that Clarks shoes are becoming a bit less robust? We've had our son in them for pretty much all his walking life, and whilst they've been OK for most of the time (apart from one incident with the shoes that have toys inside the heel) his latest pair of school shoes seem to have worn down a bit more quickly than usual.
This just a one-off, or are they going downhill?
How quickly? Our two year old had a pair where the support in the backs went within a few weeks. They replaced them no quibbles.
No to be honest. They're the only show brand my youngest doesn't destroy in a matter of weeks.

By my observation they haven't gone down in quality.
Perhaps the young'un is just being a bit aggressive with his feet right now?

We've always put our son in Clarks shoes, and I haven't noticed any difference in quality. Given how slow his feet grow, he's the only kid I know who's managed to wear a pair out, but that was a lot of wear and tear!

Been a few weeks since we got them - maybe he is just being a bit rough with them then... possibly take them back to the shop and see what they say.
Let's hope no one's been counterfeiting them
I got a pair about 2 years ago because I didn't have any 'dress' shoes - I went through the soles in about 3 monthsNot good. Don't know about the little ones atm as Faye isn't actually walking yet.
We got a new pair of shoes from Clarks for my 4 year old son about Sept / Oct last year.
He has destoyed them in a matter of months, to the extend of them having holes in the sole that let in water .... bit shocking considering these werent his school shoes and normal only wore them at weekends etc.
I have to defend Clarks here - my son had some shoes which lasted him 18 months until he completely outgrew them. The condition was still surprisingly good so unless we are talking about some bad batches, Clarks remain reliable.
I have a couple of pairs of Clarks shoes, one for formal occasions, one for work. Good shoes. Haven't fallen apart. The work ones are still in very good shape and I've had them a couple of years now.
Don't lie!
It depends, our 2 boys clarks are fine but my daughters get damaged easy and the last pair I got myself got damaged very easy
Someone left a note on a piece of cake in the fridge that said, "Do not eat!". I ate the cake and left a note saying, "Yuck, who the hell eats paper ?
My daughters new purple shoes have 3 flashing hearts in the outer sole area of the shoes.
At least we can see her in the dark now
really the quality is les compared to others ....
Spammer ahoy?
On the original point, we find Clarks very good; our daughter is pretty energetic and we haven't had a pair fail before she's outgrown them.
I used to have a pair of clarks shoes that when you put the soles together it made a dinosaur, and it had a magic dinosaur with it if you left under your pillow you got sweets, it went mising though after a few nights..

I had a pair of those! Loved 'em. Shame I had to get rid of them. Something about "23 is too old to be wearing kids shoes".
