As I headed to school this year I knew one thing was required ... a good pair of durable brown shoes. I was, and am now, trekking all over not just BYU campus but all over Provo. When gas is so expensive I end up putting a lot of miles on my shoes. In addition, I am also working a sales job where I am literally on my feet all day. Clearly you can see a good pair of shoes is definitively needed by me. So what did I get ...I won't keep you in suspense any longer ... Wallabees by Clarks.
There is a very simple reason I choose Wallabees for my everyday brown shoe; THEY ARE AWESOME!!! Wallabees have a long history and to have a history that lasts you must first have a shoe that lasts. Clarks originally designed shoes for the Eighth Army. Well the army didn't really dig the look but the people at the 1949 Chicago Shoe Fair sure did.
Clarks blew the runway away with a "raw, unstructured, unlined boot [and] crepe soles." They provided a signature look with a simple design and a production process that made every single shoe unique. And guess what ... they still do that today. Clarks is still able to achieve the same original style that graced the runway in the 50's today in the 21st century.
Every generation has come across Clarks Wallabees one way or another. They're like bell-bottoms; a style that will never die out because it keeps getting resurrected every so often. In my opinion, now being a true customer, Clarks Wallabees are shoes that are just good with everything. And personally, I love the retro vibe that comes from them. Not may people have to courage to attempt to pull off a pair of Wallabees but you know what I say, GO FOR IT! Dare to be a bit different and get something truly...
Happy Trails :)
