The Clarks Natureveldt is a legendary, heritage men's walking oxford celebrated for pioneering foot-shaped, ergonomic comfort. Originally launched in the 1980s, it gained a dedicated cult following among professionals who spend long days on their feet. [1, 2, 3, 4]

## Key Features

* Natural Last Shape: The shoe features an asymmetrical, wide toe box sculpted to mirror the human foot's natural contours, allowing toes to splay comfortably. [2, 5, 6, 7]

* Active Air Technology: Clarks' signature underfoot system utilizes built-in air pods that compress and circulate air with every step, providing shock absorption. [3, 8]

* Tumbled Leather Uppers: Made with highly flexible, thick leather that requires little to no break-in time. [3, 9]

* Polyurethane Outsole: A dense, dual-density outsole cushions impact to alleviate stress on the feet, knees, and lower back. [3, 10]

## The Evolution & Modern Alternatives

While the exact retro Natureveldt structure can be difficult to buy brand new at retail outside of specialized inventory or vintage marketplaces like Clarks has steadily evolved the "Nature" line over the decades: [1, 11]

* Clarks Nature Three: The most direct spiritual successor to the Natureveldt, preserving the signature thick rubber outsole, premium grain leather, and deep state-of-the-art Active Air technology.

* Clarks Nature 5 Lo: A modernized variant available featuring a casual lifestyle look, nubuck leather, and high-rebound EVA midsoles for reduced weight. [8]

Note: Longtime enthusiasts often highlight that vintage, original pairs made in England or early iterations offered heavier-weight leathers compared to later imported distributions. [12, 13]

From the manufacturer:

The air-cushion: a further step forward.

First the Pneumatic Tyre Then the Hovercraft. Now, Shank's Pony:

Travelling on a cushion of air is

certainly going places.

In fact, Clarks have gone as far as developing a whole new range of shoes around it. Each shoe designed for completely different walks of life.

Pounding the pavements? A pair of our Natureveldts would make you the envy of any Mr. Plod.

Hidden in their sponsy soles is a

network of air tunnels and pockets

cushioned as you walk

On a more down-to-earth front, each one of these air-cushioned soles is made of polyurethane. It's so tough, it'll outlast crepe, rubber or leather.

The uppers are supple breathing hide which 1s taken under as well as over the foot. Healthy as well as comfortable.

Ask your Clarks stockist for a demonstration.

Walking on water may still be beyond us.

But walking on air? No problem.
