These look nice. Haven’t seen them in the EU yet.

I wear a lot of clarks shoes and I have found that it greatly depends on the model. I have two pairs (craftdean wing, I think) that are easily six years old and I wear them a lot. Just service them once a year and they still look like new. But I owned another pair (not wings, they were dressier) that lasted me only two years. Perhaps the shoes in the outlet are not the sturdiest?

I have some wallabees and desert londons too and they used to be lower quality because the crepe sole would wear out fast. Last year I bought the black EVO versions and they barely wear out at all.

So clarks is still good in my book. I have two pairs of chelsea boots of the brand vagabond too, and they are great too!
