This poster isn't wrong, however if this is your first foray into being fay, hen it's a start.

I still have 1 very basic pairs of clarks, that are comfy and I wear often. There's no way to identify them, however...

the desert londons run super fucking narrow, but after breaking them in for like a month they're alright.

wallabees are fucking god-tier.

They're OK but you can get unbranded shoes from the same factories on eBay / online

They make comfy, stylish, pretty well made affordable shoes, what's not to like. I have a couple of pairs of clarks boots and some brogues. they're all good.

What the fuck happened to their desert mali boots? Have they stopped selling them in England?

Don't break your neck with snow or rain. Those crepe soles are slippery as fuck.

Crepe-soled shoes always have their place

They *should* be inexpensive (and semi-disposable since they cannot be re-soled), whether the wearer is a prince or pauper

Mate, what? They're wide as fuck. What type of potatoe feet do you have if you consider the londons narrow, let alone "super fucking narrow"?

I had a pair of clarks boots and they were made to look nice, but without quality construction.

The sole was glued to the upper, but had stitching around the edge to look like a goodyear welt. The result was that after a year or two of wear, the sole separated when I removed them.

They also had an interesting thing where the lugs of the soles were hollow. As they wore, they opened holes in the bottom of the lugs and the shoes were no longer waterproof for stuff as minor as walking on wet concrete.

I got a pair of Grensons to replace them and the quality difference is enormous (to be fair the price difference was too).

Get a quality pair of shoes, its worth it.
