From the long-established British brand Clarks, here is a pair of the "HAPSFORD" chukka boots, a masterpiece from the era of English manufacturing. Currently, as the country of manufacture and leather quality are changing significantly, Clarks boots made in England, particularly those from around the 1990s, are becoming increasingly valuable in the market due to their superior leather quality and construction, making them a highly sought-after category. This particular pair features the popular "LAST 1639," a classic last. The toe's fullness, the height of the instep, and the contoured heel cup are exquisite, offering a superb balance of comfort and appearance. The uppers are made of soft, evenly-napped brown suede. The natural color variations and shading create a beautiful expression, with a deep luster and contrast in the nap that develops over time with wear. While there is some wear, there are no signs of wear and tear, and the boots are in excellent condition, allowing you to feel the "aging" process. The suede has no dryness or hardening, and these boots still have plenty of life left in them. The outsoles are leather soles with TOPY reinforcement, showing little wear and excellent practicality. In addition to Clarks' characteristic flexibility, they provide slip resistance and abrasion resistance, allowing you to enjoy the aging process while wearing them regularly. The soft leather lining and insoles are also a charm of English-made Clarks, providing a very good fit to the foot. The size is marked as 7 1/2 (approximately 25.5cm), corresponding to a Japanese size of around 25-26cm based on the actual measurements. The length is 29.5cm, and the width is 10.5cm. Clarks' unique enveloping fit and instep room offer comfortable foot entry and stable walking. Clarks boots made in England during the same era have been re-evaluated in the collector's market in recent years, and their popularity among leather shoe enthusiasts has soared. The thickness of the leather, the strength of the stitching, and the texture of the suede, which are distinct from current products, allow you to truly experience the "joy of ownership." These vintage boots can still be worn and are a valuable item with both asset value and rarity. ■ Condition While there is some wear, the suede nap retains its firmness, and the color variations and shading are beautiful, indicating good condition. The soles show little wear and have been reinforced with TOPY, allowing for worry-free wear. ■ Notes These boots have been carefully stored at home, but please refrain from purchasing if you are concerned about minor scratches. No returns or exchanges are accepted to prevent swapping. A full refund is guaranteed if the product is not authentic, so please purchase with confidence.
