It might not be impressive these days, but back in the 80's Clarks had the most high-tech advertisements around! A kid gets out of bed, puts on his shoes and he is transported to a strange computer land, like an old Atari game, and defeats 'squared' monsters. Classic stuff! That would be the Hardware shoes....I COVETED these and my gorgeous Mum got me them. The sales assistant was aghast that she was buying them for her daughter! She was ahead of her time, my ol' Mum. Anyway - here's the advert! Total blast from the past.

    I had a pair of wayfinder shoes but the compass fell out of the heel and made them really uncomfortable to wear. What a stupi place to keep a compass anyway!

    In the 70s they had an ad where someone drew a shoe onto a child's foot, and afterwards it turned into a rather smart pair of red patent shoes. I was forever scribbling on my feet after seeing that.

    I've just found out that the girl in the Magic Shoes ad is my girl friend Michele. I knew she'd done a few TV ad campaigns as a child but didn't realise what a child star she was.
