Grr. (shoes edition)

While in England, I was seized & forcibly detained by a Clarks store, which had (surprisingly, as I'm used to thinking of them as comfortable-and-conservative) some deadly hot shoes at reasonable prices. However, we had places to be, and the place was completely pillaged due to post-Boxing-Day sales, so I thought, well, ah hah, I shall just hit one of the plethora of Clarks stores on this side of the pond.

Woe, alack, and alas. Apparently only the Brits get these, or these, or these. Indeed, it seems that they have an entire section, the "Smart" collection, available in the UK but not in the US. GODDAMMIT, YOU GUYS.

If you know they'll fit you, then there is no cabal and it does not travel transatlantically regularly and could not bring you any.

My feet are problematical fits, enough so that I can't buy purely on size. So incredibly annoying, it is.

Meh. You'll just have to come back then... I wasn't here when you were anyway, so it didn't happen.

Yeah, those are so not my mother's Clarks.

Those shoes look a fair bit like John Fluevog shoes, and they do have a store in New York (http://www.fluevog.com/files_2/jf_stores-contact.html). My wife has difficult feet, too, and she loves her Fluevogs.
