Clarks is a failsafe shopping destination for those shopping for durable, reliable and stylish shoes that will stand the test of time.
Many associate Clarks with the place to shop school shoes, official work shoes, or for the ‘oldies’ to secure stable footwear. But we think the brand has come a long way over the decades to deliver comfortable, supportive, but also stylish footwear.
In fact, we have purchased multiple heels, Chelsea boots, and sandals that have lasted for years (and are still going strong), but are often mistaken for more premium brands.
It goes without saying that Clarks’ shoes deliver the necessary support and comfort we need from our footwear, but this has been taken up a notch with its first-ever performance walking shoe, the Clarks Pace. The new drop is perfectly timed now autumn is here, as it’s the season of wet and windy walks.
The Clarks Pace performance walking shoes have been expertly designed, with the help of scientists, to deliver a supportive shoe to ensure optimum comfort on your Sunday stroll. So much so, one reviewer dubbed them the ‘perfect’ trainer.

Clarks Pace
The sole has been embedded with Infinity Energy Capsules that compress and bounce back to put a spring in your step. The dual-layer sole also boasts Clarks’ signature C360 foam, which adds extra cushioning. The S-curved heel, molded heel and sole ensure a secure and comfortable fit. The C-Tread on the base of the sole provides necessary grip on the surface underfoot, while the light knit materials that make the exterior provide extra comfort and breathability.

The Clarks Pace are embedded with Infinity Energy Capsules in the sole, which compress and bounce back with every step, so you have a spring in your step, quite literally.
The dual-layer sole also features Clarks’ innovative two-part C360 foam, which provides the desired cushioning your feet need when pounding the pavements. This feature also reduces the impact on your knees and limbs by absorbing the shock when your feet hit the ground.
The Clarks Pace also features an S-curved moulded heel, which not only supports the heel, but it also helps to keep your feet stable and offers a secure fit.
Another key factor is the C-Tread outsole, which provides the necessary grip to keep you upright. Big tick!

The exterior has been crafted from light knit materials, which are breathable yet protective.
But this is not just substance over style as these walking shoes look ultra sleek too. They feature a round toe, elevated heel and strap fastening. Plus, this design is available in numerous colourways, including black white, off white, black and white blend, grey, navy, aqua blue, lime green, as well as sand and dusty pink. Plus, these are available for men and women.
Speaking about the new design, Clarks’ Global Head of Product, Dawn Porto, said: ‘Walking for fitness is on the rise, yet many people are still wearing shoes created for running, which means they’re not getting the right support for how their body actually moves. Clarks Pace is our answer to that. It’s purpose-built to support the movement of walking and scientifically engineered to help you walk further, for longer.’
The fun doesn’t stop with the new launch. Clarks is also offering shoppers the chance to save more with an exclusive discount code that will slash the price by 20%.
All you have to do is spend over £100 at Clarks to be eligible for the discount, so if you are purchasing these £99 trainers (and a pair of socks to reach the limit), or maybe you’re shopping a pair of ‘his and hers’ trainers, you can redeem the discount.
When your basket is over £100, simply add the discount code ‘AFAG20‘ at checkout. This deal is available to redeem from now until December 31.
Are you thinking what we’re thinking? Yes, that does make these walking shoes the perfect gift for your parents, grandparents, friends, or other family members (and yourself, of course).
What a way to celebrate Clarks’ 200th birthday!
