Here are my Oakwoods - excuse the crappy iPhone photo.

I didn't waterproof. I like the denim bleed on mine

Clark's Desert Boots included. Hurry before they run out of sizes. This is a sweet deal with free shipping!

I just ordered mine.

I believe the discount is down to 20% today (rather than the 25% it was yesterday). My purchase already showed up in eBates (even though my shoes won't ship until November 8 and my credit card hasn't been charged yet), and it was more than I expected, so my total cost is only $60.56 shipped for size 10, taupe distressed.

My experience with eBates has been positive, and you can't beat $60 bucks for a pair of these... Especially when those Payless ones will run you $46 with shipping.

As such, I wouldn't recommend the service at all unless you have a lot of free time to waste dealing with their customer service for every order you place through them. makes me long for the good ol' days of BCB, its a shame Microsoft discontinued it. oh, and <3 the tintin avatar btw.

As noted in my post above, my eBates already showed up and was more than I expected, and my AMEX hasn't even been charged yet. But mostly thanks for the Tintin love... can't wait until the movie comes out next year.

Check out the sick colors in the clarks uk shop

snuff_daddy · Sep 23, 2010

ya their selection obliterates ours over here, sux they dont ship to the US and you have to use a proxy

some UK-only colors hit stores that ship internationally like ASOS.com, but i think asos charges a lot more for clarks

BRMC_doves · Sep 23, 2010

^Damn I want a pair from the UK shop. Can any SF members provide a proxy service?

I would say I'm a true 10.5 US...they're mostly sold out of the style I want, but they do have a UK 10. Based on their conversion it looks like I'd be going true to size. I was definitely planning on going down a 1/2 if I ended up getting a suede pair...but I kinda prefer these leather ones. Too much rain where I'm from.

Will I be able to walk in these or will they be HUGE?

edit: Asos has a nice leather pair as well but not in black.
Would I grab a UK 9, which equals a 9.5. Just worried about going down a full size because sometimes I can get away with a sz US11 too

desert boots are everywhere at ucla. everywhere.

bearwitness · Sep 23, 2010

i feel like desert boots are everywhere

hboogz · Sep 23, 2010

I'm curious if the clark uk releases are available in Tokyo. If so, can anyone confirm where?

bassmanpatsfan18 · Sep 23, 2010

Clarks UK releases are available in France. I just bought a pair of the Tan Antiques at the Clarks store in the 6th. I'm not usually much of a Clarks fan, but these were too nice to pass up. They are more expensive here than in the states, but, well, what isn't.

hboogz · Sep 23, 2010

These have probably been posted here before, but *******, these are murder.
