Just got my pair from David Z and thanks to whomever recommended sizing down one it fits pretty well. The only issue is it's a bit tight right before the toe box, do they stretch?

After going all over town and never finding any Originals, though I did find Bushacres at one JC Penney just wasn't sold on the color, I'm just going to have to order online. I found an 11 seemed to fit on the other Clarks I tried on, and the Bushacre though those seemed a bit uncomfortable in the back of the ankle. Assuming the Bushacre are mostly the same cut as the Original, just a different sole I would have the same problem. Could this just be something that would break in, or be because I'm used to lower cut sneakers all the time? Or should I try an 11.5?

Ordered a pair of leather Bushacre's from DSW for 70 shipped. They had a $10 off coupon running and free shipping for members. I bought right before the 10 off offer ended. Sized down 1/2 a size, so hopefully they fit when they come.

Do you take off that little Clarks strap around one lace once you wear em or keep it on? I dont want to look hip so I was thinking of taking it off.Originally Posted by clarksdb
That is not meant to stay on there.
Leaving the shiny decal on the brim of your ball cap is totally cool though.

lol I find that annoying too. The ball cap should look clean just like MLB players wear it in my opinion.

Huzzah, finally found some Taupe suede originals in a store and found the 11s to be a bit long and slidey, but the 10.5s a bit snug width wise. I suppose they might stretch a little though, and I was wearing thicker atheletic socks at the time so a thinner sock would probably be good too. They looked fantastic though and I'm looking forward to really giving them a go

Nice, I was stuck between taupe and oakwood but in the end went with oakwood.
