Clarks Berwick Seam Men's Casual Moc-Toe Lace-Up Shoes in Black Leather

The Clarks Berwick Seam are men's casual shoes in black leather, moc-toe style with two-eyelet laces and a thick lug sole, sober and easy to match.

Technical Specifications

Overview: Clarks' moc toe with a thick sole

The Clarks Berwick Seam is a men's casual shoe in black leather that mixes the moc-toe apron, a classic of the brand, with a sturdy lug sole. It is a simple lace-up shoe, with a two-eyelet closure and a clean silhouette.

It is made for anyone who wants comfortable, hard-wearing footwear for everyday wear, with a smarter look than a trainer and more casual than a dress shoe.

Design and style: moc-toe apron and thick sole

The design rests on a stitched moc-toe apron at the toe, a low padded collar, black two-eyelet laces and smooth leather that runs all around the shoe. A small star-shaped stitch decorates the heel.

The sole is thick rubber, with marked lugs and a raised profile that gives the whole a sturdy, current air.

Materials and finish

The outer is smooth black leather, with a soft sheen and a well-kept look. Inside there is a dark lining and the collar is padded to avoid rubbing at the ankle.

The sole is rubber with a lug pattern and a thick profile, made to give grip and cushion the step.

How to put them on: two-eyelet laces

The two-eyelet closure lets the shoe be tightened and loosened with a single knot, which is practical in daily use. The laces are black and round.

The moc-toe apron sometimes lets you slip the shoe on by loosening the laces only slightly, which is handy for anyone who takes their shoes off often.

Everyday comfort

The comfort of this model rests on a comfortable last, a padded collar that does not rub and a thick sole that cushions the step. The low heel and wide sole give stability.

Like any leather footwear, it adapts to the foot over the first weeks of wear. It is worth trying them on with the socks you will wear in autumn and winter.

For which occasions

These are shoes for everyday city life, the casual office, weekends, travel and casual clothes. Their sober look lets you wear them with a slightly smarter style too.

For heavy rain, snow or hiking there are more specific shoes; for urban and mid-season use they are a comfortable, hard-wearing option.

How to wear them

With dark jeans or chinos, the black moc toe gives an urban air. With corduroy or wool trousers, it adds a more classic touch. Black goes with any colour.

On top, leather jackets, parkas, wool coats and knitted jumpers all work.

Our opinion at Calzados Vesga

Our verdict is very positive: it is a comfortable casual shoe, with a classic design renewed by a thick sole and a very well-kept leather finish. It delivers what it promises as everyday footwear.

For anyone who wants a sober, sturdy, timeless casual black shoe, it is a very safe choice.

Size guide and fit

The model comes in EU sizes 41, 41.5, 42, 42.5, 43, 44 and 45. The last is comfortable, with a rounded and slightly wide toe. If you are between two sizes, choose the larger, especially with a wide foot or thick socks.

To measure, stand with your heel against a wall, measure to your longest toe and leave 5 to 10 mm of room. That space stops the toes touching the end and lets the foot swell during the day. The laces will let you adjust the room over the instep.

Care and cleaning

Clean the leather with a slightly damp cloth and apply a nourishing black leather cream from time to time to keep the sheen. If they get wet, let them dry at room temperature, away from radiators and heaters.

Do not machine-wash them or submerge them. Clean the sole with a brush and a damp cloth. Store them with paper inside so they keep their shape.

Before you decide

They may not be what you want if you need waterproof footwear, a slim-soled dress shoe or something very light. They are not sold as waterproof and their thick sole gives them a sturdy look.

They are perfect if you want a comfortable casual black shoe with character for everyday wear.
