Was looking for a cheap pair of leather work shoes, thought these were a good price and available in a range of sizes at this price.

Despite your user name, I'm not going to trust your judgement.
Clarks might not be all they used to be, but they are a very big step up from typical Matalan shoes.

For an average person, yes, but not my son. Brantano own brand 4 weeks. Matalan 6 weeks.
Clarks 6-10 months. So Clarks work out the lowest yearly cost. Although on one pair the glue came off after 3 months, but they gave me a £10 voucher. I end up buying Clarks for him.
Before you ask, I do not know what he does. I wish I knew.
These shoes would last me 2 years+

Phew , thank you so much. I was 0.24 down on that figure for perambulating on such a medium. I can only guess that the equation I got from The Shoe Wearing Forum was from the car park attendant who frequently posts on this matter. Of course we know that he would be walking on oil based surfaces which would absorb shoe soles

....made of petrochemicals. Sorry, Diesel 20786 was approaching Radley bridge at 78 mph and I nearly dropped my Camera.

How much millimetre of wear per 10 kilometers on usual day to day surfaces do you think we would be looking at on this particular footwear item?

I bought these from Clark's for about the same price, I have a 8G and they are a bit narrower in the toe than other G width Clark's shoes that I have bought also not as hard wearing.

Surely these will last a lot longer than 10 months.

I am not providing judgment. If you want cheap shoes I stated where they are available. I did not state they were good. I do not consider £24 as being cheap. I purchased the Indian made Lair Cap shoes for £24 from Clarks sale this summer and for £20 the year before and they lasted my son the school year (10 months).

This was the same price in the Clarks sale for many weeks.
If you want cheap shoes go to Shoezone or Matalan.
