On snow though, I know these will slip. haha.


I never slipped in the rain as well but the crepe soles when wet felt really heavy and also the rain isn't good for my shoes because they are suede.

9.5 most likely but you're in NY and so many places carry Clarks so it would be best to go try them on at a store before you order online.

Should I pull the trigger on this Amazon deal, or do you guys think there's going to be better deals for the DBs later in the week?

That's right. It's only 10x the price too! You're a moron. You named yourself after a whiny little ***** from HS literature. You're one of those marsupials who put "Catcher in the Rye" as your favorite books on your FB. Stab yourself.

I could think of a hundred better ways to spend $500. But I guess I'm just not a baller like you.

In reality your probably rolling around town in flip flops and tube socks.

Noob here. I want to get those Navy ones on the davidz.com site but they look so bright in the pics and so dull on the product page. How do I get them to look like the pics? I'm guessing polish? will it make that big of a difference?

Edit: nvm that looks to be a different color not actually listed
Edit2: called their store and they told me that the navy one on their website is the ronnie fieg x version so now im confused...
