We're not sure if we may have been mistaken by the overall Clergerie aesthetic but what we saw was not dainty or delicate. As a matter of fact, most of the shoes and boots could have easily been mistaken as orthopedic. Was this a collection gone wrong or have we been mislead by a fancy logo?
Taste aside, the Madison Avenue boutique has discounted their entire winter collection 50% off. Winter loafers, boots, sandals, heels and flats are all marked down by half. Most shoes retail for under $500 at full price and high boots-- the best looking of the batch-- we still under $1000.
While on the topic, can someone clue us in: Is this normal Clergerie or a design experiment gone terribly wrong?

I think it is normal. Never been in the store but from what I have seen, I'm going with normal.
Ditto. The shoes are usually boring. Guiseppe is half off and Barneys finally is at 60 off for all sale shoes. Barneys has a lot of shoes left
Normal Clergerie. That's how I think of the brand.
Robert Clergerie shoes are definitely not dainty or overtly feminine. They usually have thick platform, clunky heels and a bit tomboyish look. So the loafer in your pic is normal for this brand design. In fact, it's his signature look.

Personally I think all of his shoes are terribly terribly wrong.
Agree with Style Scientist. That is an old style.
