Taupe Suede or Oakwood for the Clarks?

tynian16

I have tried combing these boards for what color Clarks to purchase and I am sure the answer is in there somewhere but I can't find it! Does anyone have any advice?

Thanks.

Believe closest is Oakwood.

Amazon US have them cheapest!

Thanks! Amazon's price is good. I normally take size 14 but they are out of stock in Oakwood. Someone told me these run a little big so I might try the 13's and see if they fit.

I've also sized down due to many reviews stating they are big

But beware because they are quite narrow. So if you have wide feet it might be better to look for a different brand. I have 3 pair of Clarks X Pretty Green dessert boots that fit perfectly because they are a bit wider than the regular Clarks. Another good option might be these Merc boots. I have a pair in black and quite like them and they are quite affordable too. http://www.dress-for-less.com/tmpl/detail.tmpl?art_count=96;art_id=312742;pg=84;main_cat=1040;cat=1042;sub_pg=1726

Too late I've ordered, hopefully not too narrow -{

Clarks start a little narrow, but once they break in, they are fine, I own three pairs of clarks. I start with dress socks, a week later regular socks to thicker sports socks. Great shoes, Bond so should have worn Clarks.

These are what I am wearing for the last two 1/2 years.

I have size 14 narrow. It's always hard to find shoes that fit so the Clarks being narrow makes me happy!

I just received both, the taupe is practically gray. Oakwood is barely tan, the shoes are way off from the pictures, they fit fine to me, but the heel is loose, I have wide front but narrow heel which makes it impossible for me to get a perfect fit. I normally wear 11, but these feel like 12 on the back.


I'm very disappointed.

Luckily amazon has great return process.
