But I'm trying to simplify my life and the thought of shipping from India or arranging for coworkers to be my shoe mule is not simple. </p> <p>A great pair of oxfords is definitely on my wishlist, though. I will practice PPP, in the meantime. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clarks-hamble-oak-1#post-819843 Wed, 16 Jan 2013 09:36:45 +0000 ManidipaM 819843@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aww, Kristin --- that's too bad! Would it help if one of us here were to ship them across to you? </p> <p>I can find out what typical parcel costs from Indian would be, though maybe someone on the forum already knows --- there are a few ladies with relations and friends in India who may already have experience with this. Since the price of the shoe is pretty decent here, the difference may be easier to absorb. </p> <p>Drop me a PM with your size if the idea has any appeal! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clarks-hamble-oak-1#post-819834 Wed, 16 Jan 2013 08:55:20 +0000 Kristin SF 819834@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have coworkers heading to Hyderabad in 2 weeks and I've thought about shipping those shoes to our office there, and having my coworkers bring them back for me. But, alas, too complicated....</p> <p>I do love those shoes and can't wait to see a pic! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clarks-hamble-oak-1#post-819832 Wed, 16 Jan 2013 08:45:18 +0000 ManidipaM 819832@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks to everyone who aided my confidence in updating my shoe rack ;-)</p> <p>I got a pair, and surprise, surprise, I got it in person in the half size I needed! Hurrah!</p> <p>Also: Be very proud of me, fashion friends and wardrobe well-wishers, for finding the tweed one in the same size, cheek by jowl, trying it on and being delighted ... and walking away from that fantasy purchase! (But it had the butteriest leather and the most delightfully colour-speckled tweed, too... And it would never stand up to a splash of rain or any unmentionable puddles...!) </p> <p>Pictures soon, hopefully. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clarks-hamble-oak-1#post-817286 Sun, 13 Jan 2013 18:59:37 +0000 Anonymous 817286@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Man, they don't seem to be on the Clark's Canada site!!! No fair! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clarks-hamble-oak-1#post-817276 Sun, 13 Jan 2013 18:50:02 +0000 cobaltblue 817276@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, the tweedy one is neat. The black versions are almost too masculine for me. I'n going to keep looking for a US source for the wine, as these would fill a footwear hole for me. Let us know if you get them! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clarks-hamble-oak-1#post-817271 Sun, 13 Jan 2013 18:46:57 +0000 ManidipaM 817271@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Becky, oddly, it does not seem to have been the most popular colour in most countries from what I can tell looking at the usual suspects! The matte black or patent black and the tans seem to have been the most common. </p> <p>Strangely, the tan doesn't seem to have come to my country at all. </p> <p>The other one that's seemingly not seen much is the mixed-media version with a multi-coloured tweed, also rather attractive to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clarks-hamble-oak-1#post-817270 Sun, 13 Jan 2013 18:44:47 +0000 catgirl 817270@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those are STUNNING! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clarks-hamble-oak-1#post-817254 Sun, 13 Jan 2013 18:33:50 +0000 cobaltblue 817254@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh, I love these, especially the wine color! I'm having trouble finding them, though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clarks-hamble-oak-1#post-817080 Sun, 13 Jan 2013 13:40:12 +0000 Suz 817080@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those look gorgeous!! I really adore the look of them. I have not seen them in person or tried them on, but I am very hopeful for you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clarks-hamble-oak-1#post-817072 Sun, 13 Jan 2013 12:48:56 +0000 ManidipaM 817072@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Ceit! I did see those reviews. And Kirti, who has the Hamble Oaks in a different colour (tan, I think), also got back to me about her experience with them. I'm starting to feel cautiously hopeful about these... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clarks-hamble-oak-1#post-817061 Sun, 13 Jan 2013 12:13:43 +0000 Anonymous 817061@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, I love these -- I must see if I can find them. I have been looking for a brogue shoe for ages.</p> <p>These reviews might help?</p> <p><a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/product-reviews/B008C1Y3OS" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.co.uk/product-reviews/B008C1Y3OS</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clarks-hamble-oak-1#post-817031 Sun, 13 Jan 2013 07:42:36 +0000 RoseandJoan 817031@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have not tried these shoes but think they are seriously, hopefully someone who can help will wake up soon. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clarks-hamble-oak-1#post-817027 Sun, 13 Jan 2013 07:33:25 +0000 ManidipaM 817027@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Does anyone have a pair of these? Or have you perchance tried it on?</p> <p>If yes, could you tell me about the comfort level, fit and how they're been wearing? </p> <p>I can't find them in a B&amp;M store near me, but I've been eyeing them for ages. They'd be quite pricey for me to get online (still considering), so I wanted to do a 'due diligence' check on behalf of my fussy feet. </p> <p>Some things I wondered:<br /> -- Is the leather *very* stiff, especially the curve at the back of the ankle, and does it sit high over the heel? (I often end up skinned over there)<br /> -- Is the shoe fairly narrow (I have wide feet and was wondering if I ought to size up half a size, especially for wearing with socks, in case what I end up with is standard/medium width --- may not have options of wide etc.)?<br /> -- What's the footbed like --- any cushioning?<br /> Anything else it might help to know...?</p> <p>I'm looking at the burgundy/wine version. In case you've seen it in person, maybe you could comment on the colour --- is it more red-brown than 'wine' and does it seem to have a variegated rather than flat colour are a couple of things I wondered...</p> <p>Thanks, folks!</p> <p>Also, here's a link in case anyone has a similar sort of shoe from Clarks, but in a different line or another of the Hamble line --- would love your comments too: <a href="http://clarks.ie/products/womens/womens-casual-shoes/hamble-oak-wine-intrest-lea" rel="nofollow">http://clarks.ie/products/wome.....ntrest-lea</a> </p>
