madmonday - What size do you where so I can get idea of scale?

[sergedenimes]

Can anyone comment on the waterproof ability of the hunt boot? Could you walk through a small stream with them and have dry feet?

[madmonday]

size 8 seawolf, but if you have any real fit concerns send a pm/email to Mr. Oak Street.  He's very helpful

& sorry for the delay in responding, i'm not subscribed to the thread & didn't see your question until i was trolling through looking at different items 

[seawolf]

No worries! I was just trying to understand what I was looking at. I did order a pair of navy trail oxfords, and had very pleasant and helpful dealings with Tony.

So, before I know it, I am going to need new summer shoes, and I would like to actually be ahead of the game this time around.  Thinking about these:

or these:

Unless some people have other excellent suggestions based on experience (doesn't have to be OSB).  Has everyone been pretty happy with theirs?  Seems like pretty good product for the cost.

^ I like that second pair of boats a lot. I think they're more versatile than the first pair. I just wish they made large sizes.

[SpaceGnome]

i like mine.  make sure you size right though, as there is a ton of useless info going around about how to size them.

Just the man I wanted to hear from!

[Giles]

Want pics when I get home?

[thomasnunnally]

Yea for sure G!

Heres a dirty iPhone pic of my trail oxfords in natural

[Seul]

Mmmmm 

[Giles]

Here you go Thomas.

Brown CXL Boat Shoe, two summers abuse…..

[thomasnunnally]

Wow.  That is what I was looking for G!  They really do mold to your feet!

[madmonday]

thanks for the image SpaceGnome.

i think i am going to have nightmares about the boatshoes that someone posted.  they have to be comfortable they way they have been molded to your foots shape.

[Giles]

^^^^ No one said I had pretty feet…...

[madmonday]

pretty & Giles do not go in the same sentence unless we are talking about the young lady that decided to make an honest man out of you 

that's some real wear. wonder if mr. oakstreet would attempt to resole those?  probably easier to just give you a new pair

[Giles]

Plenty of life left in them.  I have a pair of those special greens I had made a year or so ago to beat the shit out of, but I think George will be getting an email from me very shortly.  Subject - NEED NATTY CXL BOATS ASAP…....

[oakstbootmakers]

Giles - holy shit man!  Yow!  You really do wear shoes hard!
