Smart, stylish, premium sneakers. A higher quality alternative to the usual brands for a similar price

I love the brand and its sneakers. In fact, I usually only wear CLAE, but once I had an issue with a pair of sneakers that broke after just a week. I sent emails and direct messages on Instagram, but I never received a response. It's unbelievable that a brand that takes such care of its image and product doesn't take care of its customer relationships or after-sales service. No one from the brand reached out to me. Experiences like this make customers stop buying.

This sneaker is very comfortable and well lasted. Similar to my Italian branded ones. The leather is so soft and supple however the down side is it’s not fully lined with leather inside. Whatever the reason is for not doing this, I would say that this is a vast upgrade to your standard Stan smiths.

This is my 5th pair of claw now. Had one odd pair in sizing, where they weren’t quite true to size. But apart from that. The style. I love. Not boring, got a subtle style but now over bearing like others. And the recycling products is an added bonus. As long as they keep going, I’ll keep buying. Dave (uk)

I’ve been buying Clae shoes for 10-15 years. Even used to shop at their brick and mortar design shop on Pico Blvd. in Los Angeles before they became online only. Have probably owned 40-50 pairs at this point and I keep coming back. The quality is great and pricing fair. Love that the branding is low key as I’m not a fan of obtrusive logos. They suit my lifestyle of dressing them up for work or events. Ex. Wore a slick pair of white perforated Ellingtons with a white tuxedo at my wedding in 2016 :-). And dressing down for urban exploration or a night on the dance floor. Ex. Some black Gregorys did the trick for a night out at Berghain + Panorama Bar in Berlin years back.
