I just picked up a very gently worn pair of Clarks x Jil Sanders desert boots in light blue-green suede. They are marked as made in England. Does anyone know how old these are? Just curious. Google doesn't tell me.

You'd probably have to treat them. Snow would eat them alive. (I'm just guessing; I live in Hawaii so I dont encounter snow regularly)

Also, I've heard the crepe sole has horrible traction in icy conditions.

So in conclusion, Clarks DB's would probably be one of the worst shoes for snow.

question, can beeswax leather DB's survive snow in seoul? or do i have to treat them with something? cheers! :)

You should probably treat them with something. Mine were all salt stained by the end of the winter but I got caught into a rainstorm and they were fine when they dried.

The traction is pretty bad.

I wore mine in the rain multiple days this week and didn't slip once. even walked on really wet marble steps, but I guess ymmv.

Of course, rain is nothing. But we're talking about snow and icy conditions.

Well, that depends, I've survived several Canadian (mid Canada) winters in DBs and its all about practice, I've walked on so much snow and ice I would probably not fall down if I had buttered waffles strapped to my feet.

That being said, there are better options out there, but crepe isn't the worst I've tried.

Once my DBs were worn in, there was very little traction on the sole and I very nearly ate shit on many occasions on slippery / wet surfaces. Don't recommend them as a winter shoe at all.

My Desert Trek soles have been better but still a bit of a gamble in wetter weather.

Found them at Topman, Click, not sure if it is just me but link seems to be broken, but go to their US store and go to "Boots" section and they are on Page 4 at the bottom.

And they also have a darker brown colour as well.
