Jim Brown does not lie... As an acquaintance of the below-mentioned Jim Brown, I can say this: He may be a lot of things, but a liar isn't one of them. There is a picture in Jim's house, buried in the back on an old credenza of Jim when he was 15 years old playing in a local air hockey tournament. It is the ONLY time I've seen Jim in person or in a photograph not wearing those damn shoes! It wouldn't be so bad if that wasn't all he talked about. Mainly, that time in the mid-70s when people thought he was 'with it' was for only about 10 minutes. If you have any open sales positions for this particular shoe, I would hire Jim in a second, but only to sell Wallabes. Mention any other shoe to him and he either passes out or goes into what can only be described as a 'Rain Man' type fit. Don't get me wrong though, I love Wallabes! Five Stars!

A great shoe. Clark Wallabees are the greatest. The first time you put them on is the best feeling your feet will ever have. I think they look great. Some people may say they have an orthopedic look to them, like something an old man would wear, but I must disagree. I'm 20 and find them to be very stylish and they look good with dark jeans. I gave comfort a four, because I don't think the support is the greatest. Also, I have narrow feet and they are a bit wider. I put in an extra insole to help with this problem. I just wish they weren't so expensive. They're something special.

I'm pleased to see that my review was posted, but I have to warn you that the person claiming to be my friend is no one who I've ever heard of. I guess my enthusiasm for the Wallabee my seem odd, but they really are great shoes and I was just giving my opinion. Please take down "Chuck"'s review as it is silly and immature. And the prankster is probably some conniving imp.

As always....great shoes. 23 year old male, purchased december 2000. I did try on some of the cheaper look-alikes, but they didn't do justice. So I bought the real Clarks. $100 seemed expensive, but I tell 'ya, they're worth every penny! These are definitely the best and most comfortable shoes I've had in a long time! These are my primary shoes, and only these shoes go on my feet. Well, when I do finally wear them out, I'll definatly shell out another $100 for a new pair... So don't be fooled! Buy the real Clarks!

The best shoes ever! I have the sand suede low tops and one day I decided to dye them dark brown that didnt work out so I put them in a bucket of 3 parts bleach one part water for an hour then let them sit in the sun and rain for a week. I just got done redying them with more diluted dye and they're still in great shape! These things are iron tough and built to last!!!

You Forgot You’re Wearing Shoes. I had the Wallabees for three years before the sole wore out and I wore them almost every day. They are so comfortable you forgot your wearing shoes. Bought some Rockports and I have had Timberland shoes before - both are good but the Wallabees are far better.

simple is better. The most comfortable shoe I have ever had or worn. I'm a young guy and I owed a pair about five years ago and a after years of wear and tear I gave them away but they was still in good condition. After years of searching I found a store and bought a pair. Recently I just bought the all black low cut wallabees and now I'm about to get another pair. I love these shoes. Not many shoes can be casual and stylish.

Jim Brown's Only Other friend, Chris, in Connecticut. Ah, Jim! His review of these fine shoes brings back so many fond memories. As noted by Jim's other friend, it was kind of tough for the guy after his 10 minutes of being in style evaporated in, I think, 1972. No chicks, no job, tossed out of school, but what the heck, he still had his feet didn't he? He could walk the entire Pacific Crest Trail in his Wallabees, couldn't he? And then the Appalachian? So I went with him, each of us in our Clarks (I liked the Desert Boot, myself), chasing bears, living off the land (and, in one memorable dry stretch in the Mohave Desert, off our boots) while we sought the Tao. I lost Jim somewhere on Mt. Kathadan and assumed he'd been swallowed by a crevasse, but here he is, on the web, still paying homage to his favorite shoe and boasting about getting laid. He could never have done it without these great shoes.

durability, versatility & comfort I've worn my sand suede wallabees with anything from dress pants, shirt & tie to jeans. I bought them in the late 70's, and beleive it or not I'm wearing the same pair right now.

My guy is hot in his Wallabees! As another reviewer pointed out: These shoes were commonplace on mid-70s college campuses. I always liked guys with these shoes. Well, I married a guy wearing them. Hmmm... I don't think he wore a pair on our wedding day with his tux, but probably the last time I saw him without them. Too bad they didn't have the black leather ones back then. He's a suede guy. They were hard to find for a long time and he has worn holes in the soles in a few pairs. In early 90s we splurged when ordering through a local dealer having them shipped from England getting several pairs. Now we are running out of that stockpile, but now there is the Web to do on-line ordering. YEAH! They are comfie thus making your hubby be in a happier mood, so I recommend all ladies get their loves at least one pair. Plus they just look HOT! His head might not be the same as the 70s (HA!), but his feet are the same! ;-)
