As any frequent and active traveller knows, when you clap eyes on shoes that allow you to explore the world free from pain and crippling blisters, you need to bag them quickly and Clapham from British independent footwear brand, Cocorose London, are just those shoes.
Clapham is a super-stylish and chic loafer, boasting a gorgeous weave of individual leather strands and premium leather heel, or striking printed snake print leather, or silky soft pony-hair leather. All have a soft and supple, non-slip rubber sole and there is an array of choice – both in terms of colour and also metallic or non-metallic finish.
If you haven’t worn this style of shoe, now’s the time to try, as they really are the traveller’s friend. Once slipped on, you will channel your Audrey Hepburn and Grace Kelly and skip through your travel day, treating your tootsies all the way.
These Cocorose London shoes are made to a hand-cut pattern and fashioned to suit the shape and movement of your feet. They are lightweight and highly flexible, bending in half and fitting into a neat little purse, should you wish to take them out and about. You can also use a little satin bag, found in the purse’s pocket, to carry any other shoes you have removed.
Clapham’s double-cushioning offers spring and protection throughout the footbed, leather insoles reduce sweating, and generously pillowed Achilles heel ward off blisters. Just to add to the wows, they also come in a beautiful black and gold presentation box.
As there are 15 different loafers to choose from, here’s a little guide to what to wear when, whilst on your travels.
The Airport – Clapham Tan
This go-with-anything shade will look stylish in the departure lounge but not show up any marks caused by luggage wheels (or other passengers) as you speed to the gate.
The Cruise Ship – Clapham Navy
You can’t go wrong with the nautical look whilst cruising & you have two choices of weave in this colour, with one having thicker strands of premium leather than the other and one being a little darker in shade.
The Car Hire – Clapham Black
Those car-hire pedals could be carrying a little grease or dirt, but your Clapham blacks won’t show a thing, as you motor from place to place, enjoying the scenery en route.
The City Break – Clapham Burgundy
Get yourself Clapham Burgundy for the boulevards of Paris or The Ramblas of Barcelona. They’re also perfect should you drop into a wine bar or two! Ooh la la!
The Safari Bus – Clapham Leopard
If you’re going wild and hitting the savannah, make sure you have a pair of Clapham Leopard in your suitcase – ideal footwear for when you’re on the track of the Big Five.
The Train Journey – Clapham Brown
Whether you’re on a Bullet Train or the Orient Express, the stylish Clapham Brown loafers will look sophisticated and also ensure any platform changes don’t take the toll on the feet.
Sightseeing – Clapham Pewter
Seeing all the statues, fountains and historic buildings can really cause immense foot pain. Make sure your metallic Clapham Pewter loafers can step in and save the day.
Visit to the Vineyards – Clapham Dark Olive
Tuscan views are stunning but there are quite a few hills to tackle as you weave through vineyard country. Do your feet a favour and do the appropriate thing of reaching for your Clapham Dark Olives.
Wet-weather Wanders – Clapham Grey
The weather may force you to head indoors to tour museums and art galleries and other attractions that are not feet friendly. Just slip on your Clapham Grey loafers and rainy-day blues will soon be gone.
The Theme Park – Clapham Grey Snakeskin
Why do theme parks have to cover so many acres? The feet may soon rebel, unless you have your Grey Snakeskin Claphams at the ready, or on your feet as your saviours!
Overseas Shopping – Clapham Champagne Snakeskin
Shopping has that strange way of encouraging you to walk miles in search of the perfect outfit, so be prepared and head out in your Clapham Champagne Snakeskin shoes – perfect with shorts, jeans or sundress.
The Glass-Bottom Boat – Clapham Coral
It just has to be Clapham Coral for this trip out at sea – and you can be assured that these shoes will help you step in and out of the boat with ease, with their flexibility and non-slip sole being great assets.
Cocktail Party – Clapham Rose Gold
Whether the Captain has issued an invite to his table, or your resort is throwing a cocktail party for new guests, Clapham Rose Gold will win you lots of attention, with their stunning metallic leather and on-trend colour being true eye-catchers.
