Look I know, Clarks are expensive. I knew this going in. I also knew the little guy had flat out refused to wear every other pair of shoes we’d ever bought him…I was desperate.
That said, I wasn’t expecting to have to make a call to my bank manager to renegotiate my nonexistent mortgage before laying my phone down on the card machine.
Madness.
I had to do the same thing recently - Went into Sports Direct, our 7-year-old tried on about 30 pairs of trainers before we gave up and went to Clarks. Even then it took about 8 pairs and a very patient sales assistant.
We ended up getting school shoes at the same time, and they don’t tell you the shoe prices until you get to the checkout and have to fork out over £80…
Anything for a quiet life, eh.
