Look I know, Clarks are expensive. I knew this going in. I also knew the little guy had flat out refused to wear every other pair of shoes we'd ever bought him...I was desperate.

That said, I wasn't expecting to have to make a call to my bank manager to renegotiate my nonexistent mortgage before laying my phone down on the card machine.

Madness.

He'll get maybe 3-4 months out of them before his feet are just too big. I basically paid for the privilege of getting someone professional to 'measure' his feet up. Believe me, I won't be back there until next September when we buy another pair of shoes for the older kids school.

Which to be fair, have always held up pretty well across the school year.
