Singer Rihanna New York - Arabstoday   After 98 concerts in six months, singer Rihanna is opting for some sensible footwear. Before leaving the UK for Barbados this Christmas the singer stuffed cases full of designs from Somerset footwear brand Clarks. A source close to the singer said: 'Rihanna returned home with a stash of sensible shoes from Clarks. She's been wearing towering heels throughout her Loud tour which has taken its toll on her feet. She's been suffering all sorts of aches and pains so she's going easy on her feet while she's off.  She loves Clarks so she thought she'd treat her family to a pair each. Her new-found love for them has become a bit of an in-joke for her friends too.'” Tweeting about her latest purchases Rihanna said: 'Clarke's me prefer... Clarke's for de summer, Clarke's for de winter! Clarke's for the sun, Clarke's for de water!!! #Barbados.'
