Olimme suunnitelleet Lontooseen p\u00e4iv\u00e4reisua jokatapauksessa joten p\u00e4\u00e4timme katsoa miten siell\u00e4 onnistaisi. No liikkeit\u00e4 l\u00f6ytyikin ja oikeat keng\u00e4tkin, v\u00e4\u00e4rink\u00e4sityksist\u00e4 huolimatta. Clarksilla nimitt\u00e4in on toinen malli, nimelt\u00e4\u00e4n Ripple Wave (\u00e4llistytt\u00e4v\u00e4n typer\u00e4\u00e4 nimet\u00e4 kaksi t\u00e4ysin erilaista kenk\u00e4\u00e4 l\u00e4hes identtisill\u00e4 nimill\u00e4)<\/strong><\/span> joita minulle tarjottiin \u00e4rsytt\u00e4v\u00e4n usein. Sopivaa kokoa ei l\u00f6ytynyt, h\u00e4mm\u00e4stytt\u00e4v\u00e4\u00e4 kyll\u00e4. Nahkasaappaista sopiva koko oli 6. Mokkakeng\u00e4st\u00e4 sen sijaan jopa 6,5 oli liian napakka. Nelj\u00e4nnen lontoolaisen liikkeen kohdalla luovutin. My\u00f6hemmin kuulin is\u00e4nn\u00e4lt\u00e4 ett\u00e4 Clarks on surullisen kuuluista j\u00e4rjett\u00f6m\u00e4st\u00e4 kokosysteemist\u00e4\u00e4n. K\u00e4vimme kaikenkaikkiaan l\u00e4pi 8-9 liikett\u00e4 l\u00f6yt\u00e4m\u00e4tt\u00e4 kenki\u00e4.<\/p>\n Viimeist\u00e4 edellisen reissup\u00e4iv\u00e4n aamuna teimme ep\u00e4toivoisen puhelinsoiton viimeiseen mahdolliseen paikkaan, Brightonin liikkeeseen, jonne viel\u00e4 ehtisimme n\u00e4it\u00e4 harvinaisia kenki\u00e4 hakemaan. En saattanut uskoa korviani kun is\u00e4nt\u00e4 sanoi ett\u00e4 myyj\u00e4 laittaisi minulle varaukseen sek\u00e4 koot 6,5 ett\u00e4 7. Ja silt\u00e4 seisomalta vauhdikas puolen tunnin ajomatka Brightoniin. Voitte vain kuvitella ilmeeni kun viimein sain k\u00e4siini sopivat keng\u00e4t. Eikun hei, eih\u00e4n teid\u00e4n tarvitse kuvitella sill\u00e4 mulla on siit\u00e4 kuvatodiste, vassokuu.<\/p>\n IN ENGLISH<\/strong><\/span> We had already planned a day trip to London so we decided to see if that would be succesfull shopping day. Well we found enough shops and shoes aswell, despite misunderstandings. Because Clarks happen to have another model called Ripple Wave (surprisingly stupid to give almost identical name to two totally different models)<\/strong><\/span>, which were offered to me annoyingly often. I didn’t find fitting size. Boots that I got were perfect on size 6, but even the 6,5 was too tight on suede shoes. After fourth shop in London I gave up. Later I heard from my bf that Clarks is notorious of their irregular sizing system. We went through about 8-9 shops and ended up not finding shoes.<\/p>\n In the morning of second to last day of our trip we made desperate call to the last place where we had the chance to go searching for these hard-to-find-shoes. I couldn’t believe my ears when boyfriend told me that there would be two pairs, in sizes 6,5 and 7 of Ripple Vale-shoes put one side for me. We rushed to Brighton and after about half an hours drive I finally got to hold perfect shoes. You can only imagine the experssion on my face. No wait, you don’t have to imagine because there is a photo of it, sil vous plait.<\/p>\n
\nYou will be totally bored with my England-posts, but guess if I care… So let’s continue with shoes. Unbeleivable how difficult it can be to find a pair of shoes! <\/strong><\/span>You might remember one certain shoe model called Ripple Vale<\/a>? When my boyfriend reassured me before our trip to England that there are Clarks shops in every town and even two in some, I didn’t know how difficult task I had put on myself. Ripple Vale isn’t just any shoe. They are part of Clarks Originals -collection that is not available in every shop. Only the largest shops hold them in their stock. Without knowing this we started searching from the smaller shops. Staff recommended us to turn to large shops in London or Brighton.<\/p>\n
