Oak Street Bootmakers

[Seul]

After having applied some Venetian cream…

Now gonna apply the Obenauf's… 

[Seul]

Browns first (blue tomorrow):

• 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!..

Nice Eli!

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.

[astrogoji]

pretty amazing details, deerskin lining, horsehide insole, and natural CXL outer.

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

[SpaceGnome]

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…

[thomasnunnally]

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

haha - yeah - we sold it at the pop up flea, and now have a handful of remaining sizes available at Dunderdon in SoHo.  With that said, all the 'industry' guys were buying these - makes sense - they're in many ways pushing the envelope/forward, which is what guys in the industry want.  Daiki from Engineered Garments was a fan and asked us to let him know if we had his size available after the show so he could buy a pair.  Also sold pairs to guys from LVC, redwing, etc.

no surprise here, but i like them.  in fact, i like them more since all of you hate them soooo much.

i am going to get a pair & name them "black-a-licous"

If you wore them while being a male stripper!

how you think i fund my purchases.    the murder moc will be mine.

i find myself drawn to the peanut suede trail oxfords & the crepe sole penny loafer.

I like the murder mocs but, my favorite is the peanut suede and navy crepe sole Oxford

[Moonshine]

I like the MM but at 330 lbs. there wouldn't be much ripple effect if they were on my feet!
