Clarks £70 smart shoes cut to £20 in online sale

Clarks has reduced its Griffin Mabel 2 shoes from £70 to £20 in an online sale, a 71% discount, with shoppers describing them as comfortable as wearing trainers.

The shoes are available in sizes 3 to 8, including some half sizes, and are designed as a smart option for the office, pairing with trousers and dresses.

Design and Comfort Features

The Griffin Mabel 2 features Clarks' Ultimate Comfort foam footbed for all-day support, with additional padding around the ankle. A product description on the Clarks website says the shoe updates the traditional derby silhouette with a durable sawtooth sole and statement fringing, offering a secure lace fastening and an easy-walk low heel.

The description adds that the Ultimate Comfort foam footbed ensures "instant comfort that never waivers."

Other Reduced Styles

Also in the sale are the Clarks Cloudsteppers Solevana Tie Trainers, now £32 down from £55, which feature 'pillow soft footbeds' and are described as the brand's 'softest' trainer. The trainers are designed to restore and recharge feet with every step, with featherlight foam outsoles that absorb impact.

The winter-ready Havisham Bay Boots, originally £85, are reduced by 25% to £63.75 for a limited time. They include Clarks' Contour Cushion footbed, a durable rubber outsole, and a 35mm heel height.

Shopper Reviews and Fit Notes

The Griffin Mabel 2 shoes hold an overall score of 4.8 out of five stars from shoppers. One five-star review reads: "Lovely shoes bought at a great price. Really pleased and would recommend." Another says: "Very happy with the model, it's like wearing [trainers] because of how comfortable it is."

A less positive review notes the shoes fit tightly, with one shopper advising to size up. The shoes are only available in a "D (Standard)" width, which may feel restrictive for those with wide feet or high arches.
