I'm not much of a Wallabee wearer anymore but this is great news. An Irish manufacturer actually making a comeback is a rare thing these days.

Does anybody know if they fit like a Wallabee ? Do I need to size down?

I'd also like to know. How does P&B sizing compare to Clarks?
I think @shoreman1782 has a pair -- or may know?

Never had Clarks (!) but I went tts for the p204 and it worked out fine.

(UK sizes obv so one size down etc)

Same sizing as Clarks.

Thanks guys. Looks like P&B just use whole UK sizes. Sadly I'm an 8.5 US in Clarks DB. I've not tried the Wallabee shape. Maybe I'll give 8UK a try. I was looking at the p204 as well. Funny I used to totally hate the Wallabee look but I've warmed to it.

Never had Clarks (!)

What??? No rude boys in Belgium?

I have these, love them. Not made in Ireland anymore but still like supporting an Irish company.

@Emixam those are great.

Any comments on sizing? Seems pretty standard I guess.

They did a collab with Fred Perry (actually just their usual shoes with a FP logo stuck inside apparently), they were on sale on the FP website recently.
