7 Things I HATE About Clarks, Finally Fixed - (CUT IN HALF)

I don't really like Clarks, but I think I found a version I might like, so let's cut it in

half

and compare it to the other Clarks and see if it's any good, so we'll have some really fun stuff in the future. On the channel we just launched the limited edition Clomps t-shirts, so if you didn't see them in the father's day video, check out the link in the description, we are only making a batch of them, we will never print them again and more.

happening. and wait until you see the cutting apparatus we're making for that video of my first boot.

It's going to be amazing so sign up for that email list and let's get back to Clarks so I cut these Clarks in

half

. This is just the original from the desert booth last year and since this is the chukka boot series I feel like we had to do some type of Clarks. I didn't want to just repeat this video and cut it in half again and recite that information again. but I saw seven

things

I didn't like about these original desert boots that this boot could fix, so this is going to be a pretty quick video, just cutting this one in half and comparing them and seeing if this boot fixes the seven things I

hate

about Clarks, So what are those seven things?

The first is that Clarks is famous for its soles that break and fall apart simply because it is crepe rubber. The second is that there is no stem here, so you don't have any support. really high pressure point, right where the heel ends, the durable board is just a really cheap fiber board, the foam heel pad is very thick and takes a long time to wear out and when used it may no longer be there. So you get this kind of weird ridge that lines up with the edge of the heel. I don't like this sock liner or this insole doesn't go all the way to the front of the foot.

You also get plenty of Clarks heel slip. at least for me except like a little lady's ankles and so with two eyelets it doesn't really fit around my ankle like it should so these things just my foot floats around them and I have a lot of slippage heel and last The thing is, I think you're paying a little more just for that Clarks name. I think they rely on their name heavily, like Birkenstocks does. Now let's go over the information on the boots and get an idea of ​​what makes these boots different. the brand is obviously Clarks the style is a desert charcoal I have blue suede but it comes in three other options they weigh one pound and five ounces they sell for 160 dollars which is 10 more than the normal ones and now they are made in Vietnam Let's review the information we can gather about these boots before cutting them in half, so starting with the leather, this is a suede leather that we talked about in Thursday's video, so check it out if you don't know what the difference is between suede and rough, but this is a CF stead chamois, so CF stead is probably the best and most well-known chamois manufacturer in the world.

They are based in England and this leather is 2.2 millimeters thick and is an interesting leather. because on the inside it's a flesh colored finished leather so it almost looks like it has that lining and it acts as a line to keep the little lint from getting in your socks, it's a really unique way to solve that problem and like I said, there's no lining in this boot, which is part of what I love about Clarks and chukka boots is how simple they are, it's almost like you're wearing a pair of leather socks all day and I love how Simple it is and, speaking of simplicity, the construction of this boot is stitched just like the other Chuckle boots we've reviewed.

It's a really simple, easy and quick style of construction that's pretty easy to figure out. Then on the inside, we have that template and this one feels like it's all the way. the forefoot, so that's already something I

hate

about Clarks, in this boot it's

fixed

in particular and then in the midsole to make it look like it's just one, two, three, four layers of crepe along the midsole and the outsole and then like For what's on the inside, I literally think it's all crepe all the way through, which is great because it squishes a lot, but it may not have as much support as an outsole. sturdier, because it's like an inch and a half of crepe and then other than that, we don't really know what else is inside.

I think it's just crepe all the way through, but let's cut it in half to get a clean cross section, compare the two and see if it fixes itself. Those Seven Things I Hate About Clarks Magic Spoon is by far the channel's most recurring sponsor because we all love it because it is a healthy cereal that tastes great, unlike those children's cereals that contain sugar with soul, but if you are like I'm a kid and you need a little sugar in your cereal in the morning and this is a really good alternative to that really bad cereal we used to eat when we were kids because it has no grams of sugar in it. 14 grams of protein and four net carbs per serving and it comes in six really good flavors: Cocoa, Fruity, Iced Peanut Butter, Cinnamon and Blueberry, and the good thing is that Magic Spoon has a build your own box where you can choose four different colors of any combination and try a There are many different flavors and I like peanut butter.

Peanut butter is by far my favorite, so if you like peanut butter, be sure to try peanut butter because it's really good. What people really like about magic spoon is its high protein content. Ketogenic children's cereal, gluten-free, grain-free, soy-free, wheat-free, naturally flavored, totally delicious for adults, that's why I like it. If you haven't tried it yet or want to buy another box or two, go to magicspoon. com/roseanvil and use the code   roseanvil to get five dollars off your order and if you don't like it for any reason, magic Spoon has a 100% happiness guarantee so you can get your money back if you don't like it for any reason .

So thanks again to Magic Spoon for sponsoring this video. Check out their links in the description, so okay, I cut it in half and it was surprisingly fun to cut that much crepe in half, but let's see what's inside. I didn't expect to see this white. foam wedge inside which really surprised me. I thought for sure it would just completely crumple. I looked at how much foam is there and I don't really know what the purpose is. I think it could be. To reduce the weight, reduce the cost and maybe add some stability to this shoe, because with the inch and a half of just crepe I feel like maybe it's a little sloppy and not supportive, maybe the foam helps with that, maybe time it gets compressed, I don't really know.

No, I didn't expect to see foam on the inside here, so now let's go through this layer by layer and see if this boot fixes the seven problems that I saw, so starting with the sole, this is a wedge sole so it doesn't It doesn't have so many edges to break and fragment. I still think it has a tendency to break, fragment and split, but I just don't think it's that much, so it kind of solved that problem and then moving on to the scion still doesn't. shank, but you don't need it because it's a wedge, so it's then attached to the durable board, exactly the same durable board.

I don't like the durability, but a lot of the materials are quite premium, like if you had leather. board heel counter, but for some reason they don't put in a durable leather board so it doesn't get attached to the foam pads, so if you look at this one, it's quite a bit smaller than the original desert boot, which I like because I HATED the high pressure point this one had, so you attach it and then slide it onto the heel, so this one has three eyelets, it doesn't fit much more, but it definitely hugs my little lady's ankles. a little better than the originals so one for me at least is

fixed

to some extent and then

finally

the price.

I still think you're paying a little for that Clarks name, but I'm okay with that because I like branded things, I like having the familiar silhouette, the familiar brand, I can't help it, even though I have this channel reviewing boots, I still I'm a fan of the brand, so I don't think so. It's a great deal, I think you're paying for the name, but it's not three, it's not like the regular projects where it was three times the price it should have been, I think there's only a 20 or 30 difference, so I think This boot is pretty.

Killer, you know, I still don't love Clarks, it's a little thick and it's a little weird, but for Clarks, this new version for me is significantly better than the previous version and as far as how this ranks on our radar chart, Lo I'll put here and here are the other ones we've made so far just for reference and let me know what you think if you've owned a pair of these, whether it's the wedge version or the classic desert boots, so thank you. to you for everything you do and we will see in the next video see you
