Clarks have unveiled their latest autumn/winter 2018 collection entitled Grace; an innovative design-led collection that combines a sophisticated silhouette with a laid-back mood and all-important flexible fit for exceptional comfort. Echoing society’s move to a liberal stance, current lifestyle changes mean our priorities now focus on authenticity, purity and heritage instead of flashy trends and shallow one-season wonders. Likewise, our wardrobes – and more specifically our shoes – are following suit.
There are three key additions to the range that spearhead the campaign. A smart Derby shoe, a refined slip-on loafer style and a modern ankle Chelsea boot, all dutifully rich in colour with hues of black, chestnut and tanned leather.

The Clarks Grace collection perfectly captures the traditional essence of the brand's 200-year heritage whilst injecting a nuanced versatility to cater for those smart casual events. Clarks have always been at the vanguard of shoe design. Nathan Clark of the C. & J.Clark shoemaking family pioneered the first commercial desert boot when he returned from duty in Burma where he could see the potential in a more streamlined construction of the officers who had been fighting in Egypt.

'Clarks have a knack for discovering classics. The style has been a favourite of style and cultural icons over the decades - Steve McQueen (in 1963's The Great Escape), Bob Dylan and The Beatles were fans - and is a recurring stalwart of many style movements.' - Josh Sims, Icons of Men's Style.
Clark's have raised the bar when it comes to comfortable shoes thanks to the insertion of a clever sock and underfoot cushioning in every style, meaning they are perfect for all-day wear. No need to hire someone to break in your shoes, although that is a great power move if you're ever looking for new ways to flaunt your wealth to the neighbours.

The Grace range is smart future-proof styling with a wrap-round construction to give a slipper-like fit and exceptional comfort. The Form Derby shoe is an ode to minimalistic perfection. Sleek, uncluttered look with a simple lace fastening and flexible leather outsole; effortlessly combining style with comfort. The Form Chelsea boot will be a key addition to your footlocker this autumn/winter. A textured chestnut leather upper infused with Clark's moisture-wicking Ortholite footbed and a leather lining and sock, these boots offer breathable comfort that lasts throughout the day.

The finale of the Grace collection features the Form Step, men's loafer in tan leather. Deftly designed, exuding class engineered with a soft, deconstructed leather upper. A fantastic British made product, renowned for its quality, craftsmanship and accessible price point.
