ive searched and mainly found one thread on someone wanting to see worn in wallabees. however, im more interested in clarks originals overall; especially the desert boot. i know a lot of you have them and i want more inspiration for getting a pair. lets see what youve got.

I've got a pair of brown suede wallabees -- coffee joints -- that I might take a pic of tomorrow for this thread. I sprayed them with water repellant the first day I got them and it made the crepe soles turn orange. So i had to use this detergent marker/pen and that thankfully made them return to their original color overnight.. but you can imagine my horror

I really want to pick up a pair of their desert boots, or whatever they're called, as long as it doesn't have that seam down the middle because that kills it for me

where can i procure P&Bs...and no not the supreme collabo, just the stuff in general.

also how would you compare the wallabees and desert boots in terms of comfort, function and veratility?

i think it was sometime in 05 that they had practically a FSR of P&Bs on ebay just sitting there for months prices kept going down to like $40 i think..totally slept on that.

Padmore and Barnes Wallabees can be found on ebay from time to time.

They're usually not labeled as P&B's, so you gotta know what to look for that separates them from regular made in China Wally's.

Seeing as how I'm always in the market for a pair, I'm not going to tell you what things you should look for seeing as I don't want another shark in the water. But if you do some research you should be able to distinguish them rather easily.

when did the paul smith ones come out?

I am not really sure. Probably a good time before supreme had them made which was in 2001? Paul Smith also had P&B make the regular ankle high wallabees, don't know if they was released at the same time as the plaintoes though.. R&S probably have some more fulfilling answers.
