This is my first pair of Lugz, but I'll buy more. The quality is great for the price. The leather holds up great to scuffs and I haven't needed to polish them after wearing for a week. The only thing I might do is put an insole in, like Dr. Sholl's or something.

Steve Madden Women's Olaaf Bootie Review
I am a size 9/40 and these boots were just a little small. If I liked them enough to keep them I would have sized up to the 10. I bought these because they are a "inspired" by similar Swedish Hasbeens but they didn't quite make the cut. The leather is nice and thick and the wood is okay, but the soles are the problem. The cut of the sole along the bottom lacks the curve necessary to propel you forward when walking. Instead they just sort of clomp straight down on the floor. I think experienced clog makers have this problem all resolved, but SM hasn't quite figured it out yet. If you don't mind clomping around like a clydesdale all day, then the $150 you'll save is worth it. Made in Mexico, otherwise decent craftsmanship. Color is pretty true to picture as well.

It doesn't look like a genuine leather but still looks good in other words it met my expectations, also very light in weight which make it very comfortable and convenient in wearing. .Best Deals for Madden Men's M-Axle Boot
This is a great buy for an everyday shoe for work. Moving around and taking walks with this shoe is pretty comfortable. I got it at a great price (about $34) after using a promo discount that was applied. The only is it is the outside of the shoe does not feel like leather.Honest reviews on Madden Men's M-Axle Boot

I've recently become interested in the Chukka style boots, but was looking for something affordable (cheap) that I could wear to semi formal functions, and I couldn't resist the price. To be honest the shoe doesn't "look" expensive or of high quality, but that isn't what I needed, so I like it. I have purchased Steve Madden shoes before and they usually run big, but this one seems true to size and not as wide. Steve Madden just doesn't make a high quality shoe, but if you need a cheap knock off, this product is fine until you get the pair you want.Tuesday, January 14, 2014
PUMA Men's El Rey Turf Reviews
The heel is not the most supportive. The material is pretty dope. Not the sorta shoes to wear in rainy weather. The suede bleeds pretty fast. Nice summer kicks to along with some dope ass khakis. Word up! The only thing I would change is the tacky little beige s*** on the heel.this shoe was shipped very very fast .....usually not sure about sizing online but the sizing is right on the money ..really love this shoe

Discount Clarks Women's Wallabee Shoe
I love this shoe--it feels like walking on clouds. The Beeswax seems to run half a size big (more so than the traditional suede Wallabee).
I ordered the SAND color and they're just soo cute, and even better looking in person
Super comfy!
Super Stylish!
Great quality
Great purchase and great price, usually retails over $100 in stores (I did not have to pay the shipping and handling = super saver shipping option, free 30 day trial!)
Then she hit on Clarks Wallabees (NOT spelled classically as "wallabies" nor in the singular are they spelt "wallaby"). She loves this classic in suede with its famously high-quality crepe soles and the support/comfort of the design. She is, after all, quite the fashion queen. Only she could make these basic work-style shoes go well with her outstanding wardrobe.
The Wallabee is classic for its uniform quality, so it is no surprise to me that it became standard with uniforms. I mostly recall nurses wearing them (in leather, not suede) but I noticed Catholic priests and nuns also took to them. In fact, they were to be seen on almost every uniformed worker outside the military. There are also queries about the shoe in general so I thought I'd address those:
When you see the commonly known "wino" shoe, the famous canvas skateboarder's loafer based on the Chinese martial arts shoe, you know they have good, thick, durable rubber soles but they are not crepe rubber. In the West, we're accustomed to hearing about crepe-soled shoes which used to be popular among doctors, nurses and Catholic clergy.
Crepe rubber, a/k/a crepe latex, is coagulated latex that takes on what is known as a "crinkly lace" texture. It is rolled flat into sheets then layered as necessary. The finished layers are then cut into shoe soles--it's that simple. And boy, does crepe ever give good traction. Because of its beautiful sparkly texture, the material is known by Jamaicans as "cheese soles".
My wife, fluent in French, explained to me that the French word "crepe" generally means "anything high, light, fluffy and made of stacked layers". She was trying to explain to me why we chose the word "crepe" for this kind of rubber. I noted that I had learned "crepe" was chosen to represent the lovely, lace-like, sparkly and very crinkly nature of the latex. I don't know why we didn't use the name "Belgian", since many people compare crepe soles to Belgian lace.
In fact crepe represents a common stage in latex processing but it is an 'early' stage (I compare it to cottage cheese!). Very few products have been added at this stage (color is the one thing that may be confidently added without compromising the crepe). The heat such as that used to make "vulcanized" rubber comes nowhere near crepe latex. So it used to be advertized as a more pure, 'less-meddled-with' kind of latex. It also gave us the terms "creep shoes" and of course the word "creep". One cannot say too much of the inbelievable durability of a crepe sole: hardly the tiniest of a worn edge appears on crepe soles, even after years of regular wear.
As to the shoe: in America I've always known the taller boot design as "Chukkas" but I am convinced that Clarks of England invented that basic design. Called "Desert Boots", they became such an instant fashion feature that we hardly give them any thought. They've almost always been part of the scenery. Wallabees were born of that original Clarks Desert Boot--they were so popular they served as part of Princeton's dress code once-upon-a-time. The beloved character of Lieutenant Columbo is famous for his chocolate brown Desert Boots.
So, my wife simply adores her Wallabees. She was so excited when she bought her first pair and I have a feeling she's going to make it her primary go-to shoe. So much the better for her, and for anyone looking for perfection in shoes. Just know that these average $120 to $130, depending on where you get them. Amazon offers excellent prices lower than that range.
In the event you wondered: I avoid Clarks because I am a loafer man, too disabled to have anything other than a slip-on. Clarks, it seems, does not make slip-ons and they really should do so. Doc Martens does!
I would add a warning about the insoles: to me they seem hard and stiff as wood. My wife adores them and thinks they mould to the wearer's foot with the heat of wearing the shoes. Finally, in the event anyone has an interest, Clarks are made in China--but then so is nearly everything these days...I stick with Crocs because they are made in Vietnam.

Review of Timberland Men's Earthkeepers City Chukka Boot
I got these for mostly walking outdoors and for standing and walking around downtown Chicago. These are very comfortable and have great arch support. Based on the reviews, I ordered a whole size down (normally wear a 9 so I got an 8) and they fit ever so slightly tight, but I think to most this would be called a "perfect fit". I think I would have preferred 8.5 but I already started wearing them and didn't feel like going through a return process. I am sure they will break in and stretch out a little bit. Love the comfort and the waterproof feature. Can't beat the price anywhere.

I was looking for a pair of shoes that I could wear to work & would look good with khakis or jeans-these fit the bill!. I did follow other reviewers recommendations & bought them a 1/2 size smaller than my actual size. Glad I did...there is still plenty of "toe room" even with the smaller size. They are a little narrower fit than my usual shoes...these fit more like a boot than a say, a loafer, but still comfortable after a day of walking around. Had them for a week now & I would definitely buy them again.
