Can't go wrong with these classics. I've had a pair of Clarks for about 6 years, while I was still in high school. It's great to see how they've come along, especially among the hip hop heads. Getting props from Wu-clansmen did a lot to help out the status of these shoes in the eyes of the urban set. All I can say is that, you don't have a real pair of wally's unless you've got a pair of Clarks.

They may smoke crack, but WU-Tang was right on this one. I originally heard about Clark's Wallabees from the Wu-Tang clan, and I met some guys over the summer who wore them. I was working as a sailing instructor on the Chesapeake, and when I left, I had acquired a half inch long slash on the heel of my foot. I went home and decided to buy a pair of Wally's. In my old sneakers, expensive $114 New Balances, whenever I stepped on my heel it pinched the cut and I walked with a limp. Since I got my Wallabees, I can't even tell that I've still got the cut on my heel. Honestly, I don't feel it when I step. Overall, amazingly comfortanle shoes, both for the heels and the toes. Not real good for running though, so if the men in blue are always after you, you may wanna look into something else.

Boy, how time changes things... I bought my husband a pair or these when we first got married in 1977. In the next 3 years, the children came along. My husband wore these shoes everywhere he went. The kids were so embarassed to be seen with him and his ugly shoes. "Hide them, throw them away mom...they're awful." Now, 17 and 21 years later, they (the kids) are begging for a pair of their own, (their feet are too big for dad's shoes). He has a new pair, but still wants to wear the old ones. Boy, how time changes things...

Buy these. These are the most comfortable shoes you will ever own. Get the low top in natural color and they'll last you forever. I've taken mine from the deserts in Kenya to the highlands of Scotland and back to good old Tennessee!

A Good Shoe. I bought a pair of Clark Wallabees for school and they were the best and most comfortable shoe ive ever owned i wouldnt recomend them for playing catch or anything because of the flimsy yet extremely comfortable design you might sprain or roll your ankle but all and all they are a great shoe. The Wallabee will also stretch a good amount so dont worry if you order a pair that is a bit snug.
