Are there any Padmore & Barnes Wally's left in Ireland?

[eastcoastrider27]

Or are they all gone?

My sister is over there right now, and I was wondering if I should have her go on a hunt for some or if it's a lost cause.

Any spots I should have her check?

[cheapmuthafukr]

i have a gently used pair in smooth brown leather you can have for cheap if youre a size 12. i mean like 20$ cheap.

simplicity we use to survive, do what you doing properly, thats the way thru life

[eastcoastrider27]

Thanks for the offer. I would jump on it if I wore a 12.

Unfortunately I wear a 10 in Wallabees (which is an 11 in the P&B models?)

[cheapmuthafukr]

yeah... i cant make out a size, but i wear a 10 1/2 in most shoes and these are a little more than a half inch too big.

P&B Wallabees for the UK market fit either true to size or a half size big, but then you have to go a whole size down for the UK conversion.

I'm US 10.5 in most shoes.

I wear a UK 9 or 9.5 in P&B's.

Padmore & Barnes have an outdoorsy type of store under their own name in Kilkenny Ireland. If you're sister is around Kilkenny she should stop by and inquire for you. I doubt they have any pairs in the store, but they've got a warehouse (also in Kilkenny?) that they probably still have some shoes at...this is where they grab them from if you contact them via email. Anyway maybe your sis could find out where to get a pair or how to grab some for you from the warehouse if she checks their shop. They cost around US $100 a pair.

If one was to email what are the chances of them having any plain toes.?

FYI: you can get the P&B wallys on ebay for around $40

What makes the P&B ones so desirable?

probably slim but worth a try on the plaintoes

and yeah if anyone's a US 9.5 they should def grab the 9.5's on ebay, otherwise it's just a few smaller sizes...

[rhythmandsound]

Quote: What makes the P&B ones so desirable?

1. better shape w/a more snug, low-profile toebox

2. better quality, hand-made, with a firmer, more classic shoe construction...the asian ones feel like mush in comparison

3. firmer crepe

4. finer leathers and suedes in better colors

5. more styles, like the weaver and plaintoe, which clarks no longer makes

6. they're the OG, with decades of history and legitimacy

some of this is subjective of course but those are some of my reasons.

here are a few more:

[eastcoastrider27]

A, do you think I could squeeze into a size 10 in those Nutbrown Supreme plaintoes, or would a size 10 be too small?

I wear a size 10 in Chukkas and SK8-Hi's.

Also how do those hold up to wear? They look like they are in brand new condition!

Edited by eastcoastrider27 on Apr 12, 2006 at 07:52 PM

[rhythmandsound]

damn dude the 10's in those nutbrowns would be perfect for you! that's the size i've got in the nutbrowns (us10 / uk9)...that size is always perfect for me in P&B's, but w/these leather plaintoes they're the right length but really snug...i wear thin socks w/them (goldtoe cotton metropolitans, the best thin socks!). the 10's would be perfect for you. worth springing for them. i think you know who to talk to but if not hit me w/a pm.

those were pretty much brand new when i took the pic but i've worn them a bunch since then and they hold up really well. have a friend who has them in 12 and has been wearing them every day and they still look great. such a buttery shoe.

[bloden]

nice collection.....i saw a pair of supremes on ebay the other week. do the padmores fit/sized the same as the new clarks or bigger or smaller?

haha word showbiz... i got 4 of those pairs straight from P&B a couple years ago for around $115 each (and just got word from a friend today who just contacted them and was informed that their stock of shoes is completely gone now). Apart from the nutbrown Supremes, i've gotten the rest for between like 40 and 100 dollars each...it's been totally variable.

[eastcoastrider27]

Yeah... Stricks.

I gotta scrape together some cash though. Trying to unload some Nike's I'm not gonna wear, but I'm too lazy to take pics for eBay.

Probably shouldn't have splurged on the Syndicates. Got the Cabs from UBS today. So dope.

the Supreme's were US sized (as are the Padmore sand wallabee boots on ebay) and more or less fit true to your normal shoe size. It's been a few years since i've worn a pair of the newer made-in-china clarks wallabees, but those fit bigger...I wore US 9.5 in those but wear a US 10 or 10.5 in the Padmores...

u know! and isn't ebay a bitch when it comes to selling, dang. the cabs are worth it man! and you got a deal. both black? navy and green are stunners imo!

[eastcoastrider27]

Yeah, both black. Although I'm wishing I had picked up a navy instead seeing as I got all these black Vans kicking around.

[rhythmandsound]

it's all good, black is the new black

[showbiz00ditc]

haha this is the thread i missed most while ST was down. i was looking forward to reading back into it. sweet.

[sean_]

cheapmuthafukr (i think thats it) if you still wanna let those wallys go get at me. i have funds ready and will gladly take them off your hands

this is my signature

[obsessis]

I have more wallabees than rhythm but he has more p&b ones. i have two pairs of sand p&b's that I haven't worn, plus two pair of low sand p&b clarks, the supreme nutbrown plaintoes, black plaintoes and random other p&b clarks, plus tons of clarks wallabees, desert treks and desert boots. I'll take a pic of my wall of shoes when I get home and then post it.

[rhythmandsound]

[Servo2000]

I think I love you.
