This was the ONLY shoe I wore for a year or two! Tan suede, ABSOLUTELY comfy & looked perfect jeans! I LIVED in them!
Great shoes. Does anyone remember the ones with the circle-shaped Coca Cola label on the side?
cooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool
Everybody wore these WITH bell bottoms. After a while, they offered them in baby blue. I even saw John Boy on The Waltons with a pair on. Not very authentic 30s wear!
OMG! MY brother & I LIVED in our wallabees! Great for boys AND girls!
YOU CAN FERTILIZE MY SEED BABY ;)
These were probably the most popular shoes for men in my Dallas-area junior high school in the late 70s. The jocks in my school called them "Nuges," after Ted Nugent, as if the knee-high lace-up moccasin boots Ted Nugent wore at the time bore some resemblance to these tame, ankle-high things. Girls wore these, too.
They used to be called dope smokers
We called them head shoes , for " pot heads "
because thats who wore them in our school at first, then every one had them
Head Shoes - that's what we called them.... :-)
These were the only shoes I wore for all of 1973, '74, and '75 while in grade school in southern California. Extremely comfortable. I loved them. I want a pair NOW.
I had a pair my senior year of High School (1977) and I loved them!!!
The Wallabees that we would wear back in the 70 s went for like 5 dollars I believe, am I right?
You can still buy these. I own a pair just like in the picture and they are exactly the same as they were back then. Made very well and just as comfortable. Pricey though. Get em at Clarks Shoes.
Absolutely required footwear mid 70's So Cal (O.C.)..jr /sr high attire.from nerds to stoners. Had to be that crepe rubber. Moved to Seattle in 76..dont even recall it being a thing there.
Oh my gosh I had a pair from 75 to 79. I had booth the tan with beige rubber and the black with beige rubber. Wore them with stiff real 501 Levis. They started to make them again. The original company from the U.K. called Clark's, but your gonna pay like $100
