10 gifts for our Father’s figures

Shopping for Father's Day gifts is possibly one of the hardest to cover. It always seems to be a last-minute kind of job, but we know our Father figures deserve more than a last-minute chocolate bar this year. 

This year we rounded up the footwear from Veja, Clarks and more that we think they’d appreciate. Proving you know them and their style, or getting them that gift they’d never buy themselves, here are the shoes to gift this Father's Day. 

Father's Day

When is Father’s Day UK? 

Father’s Day this year is Sunday the 18th of June. The date always falls on the 3rd Sunday of the month, giving you plenty of time to sort out a great gift.
