BTW, do people here prefer the clarks Wallabee or the desert trek out of interest?

IMO, I think that Wallabees are the Crocs of the Urban Outfitters generation. They're the goofiest looking shoe and whenever you point out to someone how goofy they look, "Dude, they're sooooooo comfortable" is usually the response.

Well my other comment was going to be "Wallabees are cool if you're a chef or a nurse in a children's hospital"

They do look pretty damn goofy, but they are nowhere near as bad as Crocs. Crocs I just flat out hate, hate, hate, hate. Wallabies, maybe someone could pull them off. I just haven't seen anyone do it.

EDIT: how's the sizing on the BR version? The same as the Clark's version I hope?

WOW. So my Sand DBs came in today, and my effin wide feet couldn't fit in them. Dammit. I got a pair of 9.5D and my feet are just too wide to get in and stay comfortably.

So just for you kiddos with wide feet, do not just go with your Converse size. I am a 9 in Converse, but forgot that they are more lenient in width since it's canvas. So for comparison, the only shoe that fits PERFECTLY are Red Wings in 9.5D since they're way wider. I'm going to try and find a pair of 10 or 10.5 and see how that works. *sigh*
