show me your clarks!

[popeyejawns]

can we talk about vibram-ing out our desert boots more?

[redX]

why even bother? the leather on the boots is so thin it won't repell any water or protect you from the cold

there's a reason why the style is called "desert boot"

[jeansnkicks]

I wear my Clarks occasionally in the wintertime. Won't give you any warmth or traction really. I only wear them with reallll thicks socks and never when there is ice on the sidewalks. Also, you need to make sure they are well oiled so that they don't soak through if you get caught in the snow. I live in Toronto and have the English Tan DB's for reference.

[Goslett]

Basically corroborating what dude above said. I live in Toronto too.

Taken a few days ago...

[playdisonlyatnight]

worn my wallabees for like 3 winters in a row, sockless, all that shit

almost ate shit a bunch of times also but always play it off cool

never had issues with feet getting wet or cold.

edit: just realized were talkin about DB but thought id chip in. my wallys are suede too, the suede is obviously fucked up beyond belief but i think they look cool.

[f50fan]

There is something nice about worn suede.

[sean_]

man if those are "worn in" i should snap a flick of my dbs. sand suede, they're fuuuuuucked up, they look great

Hello I have a few questions.

1. About half of the sole of my wallabee's has started hardening.. Is this because of the gunk on top or just an old crepe sole?

2. Also, the crepe near the heel has wearing away, still wearable?

3. Whats the best way to clean the crepe? I love keeping the gum color sides.

[mlproject]

1. are they vintage? look up putting them in the oven... this has rescued a pair for me in the past.

2. of course.

3. no.

[zackl111]

hadn't seen those weaver boots until now.

i pretty much have taken to only wearing my weaver mocs (I have the sand and the ebony suede) this fall. they are so comfortable. they blow my DB's away for comfort.

[ninetynine]

If you guys want some Desert Boots with non crepe soles... you could always look in my sale thread...

[youonlyliveonce]

here are my clarks desert khans that i had for about a half year....i love this pair.

[kvc06]

Wore these pretty hard for about a year.

I applied some product when they were new so they started out much darker.

[mago_san_2d_god]

those are looking good kvc, my pair should be coming in soon.

[icandunkonu]

Has anyone here heard about putting Wallabee's in the oven?

Sounds a little sketchy...

Ive played hockey since I could walk. You can put them in an oven, same as a hockey skate, helps mold your boot to your foot for a most custom, softer fit.

[lexerone]

Some brown nubuck's i picked up for 60 bucks...they looked reddish when I got them instore, but now they look brown to me.

[curemyself]

[bromorrow]

if anyone wants the davidz matte black Db in a 9.5 lmk

[cure]

first pair of clarks, around 2 years maybe? Never treated with anything really. Broke the laces on them about a year in and wore them sporadically. re-laced with extra leather laces that came with my new olive ones.

[poly800rock]

those look better that you didn't treat them.

[gettoasty]

Possibly selling some used matte black davidz DB's for $75 shipped+fees, get at me! size 9

[cure]

yeah i like to think so too. i might have them resoled since the hell is almost a slope now. really loved how they turned out

[ranonranonarat]

anybody know where else i can pick a pair of these up? i bought them used off the supermarket a while back and i love how comfortable they are. they are sort of a different range and have a slightly different toebox (wider, less pointy) and the insides are well cushioned as you can see from the pictures as well. dying to pick up a backup pair in near future.. can't seem to find any info on these.
