show me your clarks!

[computurd]

When people here are talking about the size of the Clarks are they looking at the UK sizes or US?

ie, Are you a size 12 US in vans and get the 11.5UK in Clarks

we're talking about US. im a US9 in converse, and i got a US8 in Clarks Suede DB (stated on the shoe). Fits exactly the same as my converse in US9.

[sunkenshoes]

beeswax DBs after about 1 year of wear and no shoe care at all:

I had heard that mink oil produced a nice result with the bees wax leather, so I slathered some on:

(the oiled shoe looks much more shiny there then it ended up looking)

after mink oil application they are darker, and MUCH softer:

will add a new pick 2 months post oil later

not super exciting but pics of my black leather (not suede) DBs.

do you polish them much?

something's up with my pair... they look much scummier, even when i clean them.

[JoeySullivan]

polish was done just before taking the pic. I use Saphir polish, only made from beeswax and amond oil. It gives the leather just the right amount of shiness, despite being less durable than petrol based stuff. I clean them once a week with a soft brush.

[ahaha]

hey guys I got really bored and decided to make some fringes for my DBs, your thoughts?

[billy.]

i like them a lot for some reason.

how much to make me some (0)

[chchchip]

just copped these while i was in nyc.

[knightlovesqueen]

i like the idea of those christy wedges. i think i'll try them on wallaby's.

can these purchased separately or do i need to inquire with the shoe repariman?

thanks in advance

[mlproject]

in needing a new midsole, i'd be surprised if you could get them on wallabees without taking the vamp off the shoe to stitch. if you do, definitely post pics.

man i can never find smooth leather db's

[captivated]

As titled, my dads old shoes (and i don't know how old they are), he decided not to wear them anymore so i picked them up. they were pretty old and beat that the leather laces came off because they weren't oiled and stuff. tried my best.

[superbeveridge]

Navy Blue... or at least they used to be. I am think green for my next pair.

[JoeySullivan]

What color desert boots are these? They look gorgeous

[phen3N]

is it weird that i had to size down a full two sizes on my clarks? i'm 9.5 in vans and 7.5 in clarks. although these are the only ones i've tried on, so maybe its just this pair

[jl.1212]

not really because vans runs small and clarks run big so the gap is bigger

i wear 10s in vans and 8s in clarks

[sunkenshoes]

posted a while back here, that my clarks were too big. turns out I needed to size down a full size. im a 12 in vans, 11 in desert boots.

Those are the navy blues. I have a pair posted just below that are more dirty and worn. When they get dusty they get a cool steel grey blue colour.

Maybe you were looking at the UK size? Because it would make sense that you were an 8.5 US in Clarks, which would be a 7.5 UK. Otherwise, it might just be that pair.

[gettoasty]

What shades of brown do you guys think will go well with black denim i.e. the Clark desert boots.

Went searching and some colors include flint, taupe distressed suede, oak suede?, taupe wax?

I have pair of real beat Beeswax, but for some reason I do not think it will go well with my APC NS black.

Was leaning towards brown that have a shade of grey, similar to the flint color.

Any thoughts?

[Deadramones]

better picture:

About 5 wears in and already getting denim bleed. Maybe I need a darker colour! Computurd's navy ones seem like the ideal solution.

I love them though. Sized down a whole size from usual and they were really tight across the bridge for a couple of days, then the suede stretched and they're fine now.

The joys of living in the UK. These Desert Boots were unmarked in the 'odds' section (the only male pair of shoes there at all, nevermind Clarks Originals). I asked what price they'd be, and after a bit of scurrying at the back they said I could have them reduced from £69 to £20!

If you notice though, each shoe is a slightly different colour. I'm not sure if they started out as a different leather or perhaps one was on display in the sun while the other was hidden away... but yeah. This picture shows it better:

I imagine I could quite easily stain the lighter one on the left as dark as the other, but I prefer the colour of that one... Are there any oils/creams etc. I could apply to the right side? Or is it just a matter of leaving it in the sun on its own for a while?

[Deadramones]

@phen3N, I reckon the sizing down is OK, especially if they are suede, because they fit long and will stretch a lot sideways, so if you have narrow feet it might be alright. It's probably pushing it for most people though.

@crhistoph, where did you get those from?

[Deadramones]

(I know you said "the odds section", but the odds section where?)

[Deadramones]

mlproject, those vibram soled treks are awesome!

How were they done? Just taken to a shop for resoling?

I normally don't like desert treks but I'd make an exception there.

If anyone has DBs done similar, stick a picture up!
