Clarks celebrates

It’s a momentous year for perennial footwear favourite, Clarks. Not only does the British shoe manufacturer celebrate the 65th anniversary of its best-selling product, the desert boot – de rigeur for any man who correctly believes Steve McQueen to be Godfather of masculine modern casualwear – it’s also got a host of great new products out. Models such as the Darning Walk (low and hi-top versions) and Gambeson Limit are smart enough to be paired with jeans or trousers and are as light and comfortable as sneakers, while the Gatley Step is a fresh take on the bass weejun penny loafer. For more casual looks there are a selection of lightweight summer shoes, ideal for idling a few hours away in a Mediterranean beach-side café. Prices range from Dhs495 to Dhs795
