      ugggh, im tempted, but I have a feeling that this is a brand where I am between sizes, as my size 10's are borderline too big.  Am considering the 9.5, but no returns on sale items means it would be a $200 crap shoot.  I should have just stuck to my guns in the beginning and went for the Bakers oxfords…. 😠

        Definitely size down a half size as the leather stretches like crazy. Trust me, I went with a US11 and wish I had done a US10.5. Get the US9.5 and you will be happy. $200 is not much for the craftsmanship and materials used. They will outlast the $200 you pay.

              Hey Lando, my camp boots got soaked on the weekend and they auto-downsized a little when drying. Just a half-serous suggestion…

                Hmmmmm, thank you sir! Looks like my pair will be getting a much needed dip in the tub this evening. Thanks brotha. Then I may send them back to Chicago for a full reworking.

                    haha - but they need some lovin!  Cleaning and Obenauf's should do them good.  Your navy looks particularly great.  The navy varies from hide to hide - yours has a really intense shade - love it.

                          • remove stained laces. After having cleaned your shoes, rub some polish in your hands and rub it over your laces… They're made of leather as well!..

                          • hi there!..

                          • get your hands dirty!.. Apply Obenauf's with your fingers!..


                          • dry with a hairdryer (guess what: I didn't have one til I bought Obenauf's…)

                          Leather now feels supple and moist. Thank you Obenauf's heavy duty leather polish!..

                              Im back in Oakstreet business.  I traded a guy my size 10 browns for his size 9.5 naturals.  Its amazing how much of a difference 1/2 a size makes.

                                  Those look great, but then again, the price reflects that.  If it had an OSB price, I would be all over it…

                                    yea, I like the looks of those, but $596 is outrageous.

                                        id like those if they had a sensible sole, maybe a black christy or even a leather sole like rancourt/quoddy/russell tracker

                                          Not taking the safe route with that design.  Those are going to elicit strong opinions…

                                            I guess since it is the murder moc, it should look like it can kill people.  I suppose the ripple sole does achieve that.
