the clarks that i wear (and beat) are actually limited

The year 2000 marks the 50th anniversary of Clarks' Desert Boot. To commemorate the occasion, the company is offering a limited-edition version for fall 2000.

Some 1,500 pairs of the 10,000 boots produced will be targeted for sale in the United States, according to Clarks England Director of Marketing Sue Dooley. The shoes, retail priced at $110, will be available through Clarks' independent flagship stores.

and i bought them DS also. ah well

[Pandemonium]

you probably could have made a million bucks off of it man that's too bad. :3

[tahonng]

Anybody know a good place to send Wallies to get re-soled? I had a pair sent to resole.com, and I'm not that happy with it. Is there anywhere that the sole really looks like the original crepe?

Thanks.

[bustinxjustin]

anyone know where to purchase weaver boots? size one half size down as well with these? Thanks.

Zappos.com has them. They should be the same as your Wallabe size. They are also sold at Clarks stores, so if you have one near you I would go there to try them on.

[Grim Ryan]

Anyone know if there are any sites still selling Black Leather( non suede) desert boots?

[jmsynr]

So I bought these:

and I was thinking of returning em for the taupe suede ones:

Should I return em? Or are my flint suedes just as versatile? I plan on wearing em with khakis and jeans exclusively

[joelz]

just went to a cobbler to see if i could get my DBs resoled... apparently it would cost $75 so i'm just going to krazy glue the edges down and wear the hell out of them...

i need these joints what they is?

[Whodinihimself]

i need these joints what they is?

^^^^^^

They don't look like Clark's to me. The longer vamp and toe shape makes me think they're Elia Maurizi chukkas....but they could be anything.

[azif]

Well it was late one night, walking through the park

With my leathered down coat and wallabee Clarks

Getting my step on, big shit, big six, big wrist

So much excitement in the air, I was crisp

[rome1]

caved and ordered some Weavers... too good to pass up esp since I hesitated last time they were around.

[Ahlvahroe]

so i was out looking for a dressy coat for my new job today, and i got distracted and ended up at like only store ive seen in seoul that has the weavers, and i checked the price. 230,000 won, or 203 dollars. WTF!? i havent bought many pairs of shoes while here so i didnt think the mark up would be that high. i know everything is marked but still, damn

[rome1]

look what showed up today.

[xkhol]

^oakwood suede?

[rome1]

yea, they're a little darker than I was expecting but still awesome.

[xkhol]

^If I ever get around to picking up some weavers, they'll definitely be the oakwood ones. A fit pic would be dope.

Also, I just picked up some beeswax DBs and was considering using Obenauf's Heavy Duty LP on them, but I'm kinda worried that it'll make them too dark. Should I wait until they get some serious wear before using it?

[conqueror]

i've had my leather wallabees for about a month now and i love them. i can't agree with the sizing advice most people give though. i went TTS and although i could have easily gone down half a size, i think a full size would be way too much unless you have a really narrow foot.

[travisio]

^ the shape of your foot is really important when determining size; i wear a 12 in nikes but 10-10.5 in wallabees because the back of my foot is really narrow.

best advice is to just try them on. or if not, buy like 3 sizes off zappos and return the ones that don't fit.

Oakwood Suede

I'm thinking about buying some Clarks, does anyone have any experience with tough winters? I'm thinking about the desert boots, any thoughts?

[ubiquitous]

suede ones are an obv. no if you're dealing with a lot of precipitation, and they're not very warm to be quite honest haha. I go to school in Boston and while I wear my DBs, my feet are constantly freezing even with fairly thick socks on. Probably better off with something more intended for harsh weather...

[f50fan]

I hear the crepe sole isnt very good for icy conditions.

[pennyoka]

^^^This is true, rain too. I almost ate shit multiple times the other day.

[Jackboot]

And in case you still aren't convinced...after a while the suede/leather will become unsealed from the last around the edges of the shoe and will be held firmly in place only by the stitching. This will easily allow even the smallest amounts of water into the shoe. At least, this has happend with mine

I'm still looking for a good winter shoe/boot because my Clarks just don't cut it in the snow.
