Words

I'd been a little on the fence about this shoe brand, not being overly familiar or taken with the designs until now. I like the reference and the idea behind the brand, but it's always seemed to me: if you want Clarks, buy Clarks. Having said that, I can appreciate the details, changes, and improvements the brand has made to a handful of classic designs; with the small burst of colour on the Ruddy Duck model recently received at Silver & Gold being one such appealing tweak.

Clarks don't make their shoes to a good enough standard these days.

[Dr Mike Ockhurts]

Dont really like these-too much detail.There is a better, plainer pair available from Oipolloi.The thinking behind them is good---an attempt to re-create the perfect pair of Wallabees.But frankly the end result is ever so slightly cheap looking----------i know ive said this before!!!.Compare these with certain styles from Viberg ,say ,or a Japanese maker---Moto---or the Black Bear Grizzly boots from a guy called Cruz in Spokane---seen on Arch-Heritage .com.So i'm dissappearing up a certain orrifice in my persuit of perfection????-----i just think ive got Damn fine taste!!

Trust me mate Verginia & Weaver Moccasin blow Clarks out the water when it comes down to quality & comfort.

It ain't like we're talking WuWear Wallies here is it?

[Dr Mike Ockhurts]

Word----Dont know what Wuwear is, and the quality and comfort of Weaver may be fine----its what any shoe LOOKS like that concerns me.

[Giffen]

I don't think these look cheap at all - they're immaculate! Every stitch is perfect. Weavers are amazingly well made and are good value too. Better than Quoddy in my opinion, whose quality control seems all over the place these days. I have a pair of these and love them:

Yeah Giffen ,that pair look fine---just dont like the others.Like the Marmots though.Not keen on Quoddy either!

[Sorrybut]

Comparing weaver to Viberg or moto is comparing oranges and apples.

Viberg is a work boot company, moto are leather craftsmen who happen to have a few shoes in their range.

[Dr Mike Ockhurts]

Did say CERTAIN styles Sorrybut.

[Sorrybut]

Sorry but that doesn't make your comparison more relevant. Pricepoint and products of weaver and the companies you mentioned truly are oranges and apples

[Dr Mike Ockhurts]

ok ok ok!----to use an old saying----"i'll get my coat"!

I've got two pairs of the Weavers now and numerous of the Clarks. Initially I loved the the extra detail in the Weavers and what does appear to be better construction but have now slipped back to the Clarks Weavers , Wallabies , Deserts and Nature . Did find the leather uooers slightly unforgiving in the Weavers and the crepe soles are considerably harder, less comfortable than the oricinals, no pun intended.
