How To Wear: Men’s Leather Sandals
Introduction
With the British summer continuing its upturn after a less than impressive start, dressing for high summer has certainly come to the fore. Combating a rising Celsius isn’t an easy task, and doing it in style is even harder.
By now you will have hopefully started to take full advantage of man-made fibres and ditched the heavy wools and polyesters in favour of lighter weight linens and cotton. With temperatures reaching heatwave consistency, summer-proofing your style is imperative and encapsulates everything from your choice of head wear to footwear.
Today we attempt to navigate the forgotten and often faux pas-ridden land of the leather sandal. Disgraced by sock pairings and shamed by its Velcro-strapped cousins, the sandal has been all too readily dismissed in recent years. Billed as feminine and un-stylish by many, during high summer the sandal should be seriously considered as your off-duty go-to.
The Leather Sandal
An extremely lightweight footwear silhouette, sandals are the most qualified option for keeping your feet as cool as possible during the heat. More appropriate than flip-flops, more breathable than boat shoes and arguably more versatile than espadrilles, sandals (particularly leather versions) are a refined choice that can adapt to a wide variety of scenarios and occasions.
Not only that, they are also easily packed and will take up very little room in your suitcase, making them a superb option for holidaying or weekends away.
And yet, with all that in mind, the sandal still has a certain amount of stigma attached to it. Thus, good styling is critically important when stating the case for this high summer essential, and it is something we’ll be addressing today…

Nathan Clark For Clarks Footwear Article By Matthew Keliris-Thomas on 31st July 2013

Nathan Clark For Clarks
Clarks have released a new and unique range of shoes inspired by one of the brand’s founding fathers, Nathan Clark.
Nathan Clark was the epitome of a post-war gentleman: an Oxbridge education, a classic car collection and an English accent in New York. A prodigious experimenter, with the eponymous company founded by his forbearers James and Cyrus Clark, his lifestyle never prevented him from continuing to innovate, which even led to his work in creating the now iconic desert boot silhouette.
After Clark’s death in 2011, new designs were found that reworked the original desert boot – and these have now been put exclusively into production by Clarks for their upcoming AW13 collection.
The new ‘Derby Desert’ and ‘Derby Top’ styles are notable for the accented leatherwork along their bodies, which highlights the Derby-style lacing. This is most prominent in the Derby Top model, where the innovative design illuminates the mixed leather and brogueing detail. The contrast white stitching then pulls together these different stylistic embellishments to create a composed and incredibly practical boot that brings a timeless silhouette bang up to date.
Similarly, the Derby Desert uses mixed grain leathers and geometric shaping to create a slightly quirky piece that is balanced by the slight ostentation of the fringe and brogueing – producing an engaging and innovative formal shoe.
Both pairs are available online now and will be followed by a more complete collection featuring Chelsea boots, monk straps, longwing brogues and more.
