Yeh i find these shoes kinda addicting, bought 1 colour now i when ever i see a fit with another colour i think "man i want those".

Did anyone find any retailers for the Burgundy, davidz has sold out. Either U.K. based shop or intl. shipping.

pretty sure theyre the same color as the standard "sand" wallabees, which happen to be a different color than the "sand" desert boots for some reason

The sides started lifting and the stitching actually came off. My feet were never really comfortable in them...they were the only pair of shoes I've had where footsweat was an actualy problem (and it got quite stinky). I dunno...I was overall very underwhelmed by the boots. After tryin AE, Clark's, and Opening Ceremony, I'm kind of burned out on chukkas. I would try Alden if they weren't so pricey.

But godamn do those purple Clark's look good.

that kind of happened to my pair of Clark's desert boots too... but maybe not as bad. But makes me think twice when i wear them now. you have to be very careful with them. not as tough as you might think.
