      He would know best of course but in every case I've heard including mine, the trench boots run true to size. That's the only ones I have experience with.. Hopefully ill have experience with the navy Oxford as well some day  😃

                  Got the navy oxfords last week - great construction, really beautiful stuff.

                  I think with George's help I got the sizing right, some growing pains with them though, some play in the heels and the front inside sticking really digs in, but they feel a little better with each wear so I'm hopeful they'll end up as comfy as they look!

                  Will take some pics and post up soon.

                      what's the appeal of shell cordovan for you?

                      imho it's a very dressy type of leather & really compliments certain kind of footwear.  will see how they pan out . . .

                        Basically will last forever. Love the rolls and patina it gets and I'm in the market for a shinny dress shoe that is recraftable.

                                Really like this brand. May have to get a pair of boat shoes.

                                  Glad to see oakstreet on here. My favorite shoe company and George is super friendly like these fine folks at iron heart.  I own three pairs. Brown trial Oxford, natural boat shoe, and natural trench boot. They are all something else and next level craftmenship. I'll have to post some pics.

                                        I actually got married in my trench boots. That's oak street loyalty right there.

                                          How do Oak Street boots and shoes stack up against the likes of Viberg? Does anyone have experience with both brands? I am curious about the difference in leather and how comfortable the Oakstreet boots can be from the start.

                                          The Oakstreet trench boot resembles the Viberg 1950 Service boot, IMO. I wonder how much of a difference they are to each other in quality and comfort.

                                            I have a few of both brands.  the cxl is sourced from Horween in both cases.  If you size right you should be able to do a 5 miler first day out….
