show me your clarks!

[papoose]

aye, I'm all for back scratching.

I picked these up in a thrift store yesterday for $10. The soles were rock hard but I put them in the oven wrapped in foil for about 30 minutes at 170F and the soles are wonderfully soft now. They are well worn navy suede.

The label on the inside of the shoes has been worn away but looks like it was in gold lettering. I'm curious if these are Padmore & Barnes or made in China Wallabees.

I suspect they are Padmore & Barnes simply because of the sizing - I take a 10 in the made in China Wallabees - these are labeled 10.5 inside one of the shoes and they are about 1/2 size small for me. But they are also labelled as "D11 1/2" inside the other shoe so I'm confused as to what size they actually are. They also seem a bit differently designed compared to my China wallabees - the sole seems thinner and overall they seem less bulky...but maybe it is my imagination because I don't have my China wallabees here to directly compare.

Can anyone identify them as China or Ireland wallabees? :confused:

those aren't irish...for one, the irish ones have a multitude of closely spaced perfs on the insoles

[fattybfat]

Weaver slip-ons don't look good with shorts (not my pic).

On the other hand I never saw Weaver slip-ons before.

My only pair (although I want at least another pair of desert boots in grey suede). These are obviously getting pretty beat, but I love them, and the soles are hanging in pretty well:

I keep shoe trees in them. I guess I could oil them, but I kind of like the rougher look. Anyways, just thought I'd share.

I'd honestly stay away from oiling them. The color on them is really nice now. I oiled mine and they got a lot darker and don't look nearly as good.

newest addition to my small collection.

all P&B except the green wallabee boot.

thanks to r&s and doctorgnar for the P500's!

[digups]

[mlproject]

[eastcoastrider27]

ah right on, they look the same size or bigger than your us10 sand suedes and i thought those ones that gnar sold you were smaller so i was confused

[dunkin deeznuts]

this p&b trading is very incestuous........

[mlproject]
