show me your clarks!

[eastcoastrider27]

sorry if this has been covered. but..

What is the difference between the china made and the p&b made?

what makes the p&b better than the china made?

i was in the store and i saw them saying something about english..

There is no difference. People just think the P&B joints are better cause Rhythmandsound wears them. In reality, P&B Wallabees suck cause they hurt your feet. Made in China Wallabees are perfect.

Buy Chinese Wallabees.

One more question was I saw a sign that said "english" on it. I'm unsure what that means. Should i care?

[eastcoastrider27]

I was joking. Padmore & Barnes Wallabees are better than today's version, but it's been explained why, in detail, numerous times in this thread.

I have no idea what "English" means.

thank you.

sorry for the random question. just thought this would be the best thread to ask in. how do the p&b x supreme sahara boots fit compared to irish made clarks wally's? same? bigger? thanks in advance for any replies.

[concealed]

those things are serious, remind of the boats they use for the duck tours in boston.

[rhythmandsound]

that's awesome, I've got another ad for that style of boot (also referred to as the Gobi boot i think?) on my computer at home, i'll try to upload it later. I actually got a brown suede deadstock a pair of those off ebay a couple years back but they were too small.

old Wallabee ads are always great, i know there are a handful posted on the clarks thread on the crookedtongues forum as well.

[eastcoastrider27]

Recently procured these Padmore & Barnes Wallabees (Thanks for the heads up, K!)

In my opinion I think they(sahara boots) fit a little snug compared to regular wallys. A half size.

those look fresh ec27!

[Adabadang]

Do desert boots run true to size? I'm guessing they're supposed to feel quite tight but I'm not sure how tight.

[airportlobbytx]

I've got a pair of black P&B wallys for sale in Supermarket - 13s, cheap.

^ papoose will be on that within a few days

luckily some styles of p&b are discontinued

[Hella Hyphy]

what happened to these? Looks almost like an acid wash of sorts- i like it.

I'm a size 11 and i bought a 10 in desert boots, perfect fit.

[papoose]

^ papoose will be on that within a few days

too big, look good tho.

[fattybfat]

same here, im 11 in most shoes with a little extra toe room, 10 clarks with a little extra. if you want the heel to be tight you could size down 1 1/2 and theyd probly stretch.

i sprayed mud on them so theyd look more gnarley for a change from all the brand new clarks. they dry pretty clean though. i wear them onthe farm, i thought theyd get alot of bad stains but they just develop a light patina. heres what they look like after drying

im thinking of using some leather conditioner, but ive never used it on suede. has anyone tried it?

using leather conditioner will darken the suede alot, not recommended

[doctorgnar]

Thanks all - more to come on this later...

[rhythmandsound]

Gnar hot on the case, big things...watch this space.

[eastcoastrider27]

Sounds like a cool project. I hope you touch upon the influence Clarks has had on other shoe manufacturers.

[adidassler]

cant wait to see the end result

on another note, got my first clarks today. beeswax desert boots, already love them

[xh0llyw00dxx]

I got a pair of desert boots the other day, and they were so uncomfortable, like the sole was really stiff even though the bottom is soft. Like there's a piece of metal in there or something. Do they break in ok or should I return them?

[bruised]

i picked up a pair of gray sued clark desert boots.

55 bucks at my local martin + osa

[eastcoastrider27]

Too bad they only have size 12's.

[adidassler]

hmm they have 11's but not 12's.
