Clarks Magic Steps Advert

Who remembers the Magic Steps collection for Clarks? The shoes with the 'secret' key on the bottom?



More importantly who remembers the advert for Magic Steps? Oh! The wonderment, the magic, the fairytale! The princess was up for adventure & wasn't scared off by the threat of the evil witch. She wasn't frightened of mud & the unknown in the forest! Yeeharr!



Luckily this collection of shoes came out just before my holy communion  & purely on this advert I managed to convince my mum to get me a white pair for my special day. T Bars with the circular crystal in the toe & the magic key in the heel. I think I even got a toy key in the box! (Squeal). Unfortunately my mother, afraid I would scuff them at school afterwards, instructed my dad to polish them black (This would only happen in the 80s). He covered the crystal with the polish & alas the magic was gone. Heartbroken.
