    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….

              Got my eye on a natural boat shoe, brown beefroll crepe sole penny loafer and loden vibram sole trail Oxford.

                    The trench is extremely comfortable right out of the box. I just got them in march for my birthdday from my wife. Not much Evo to show on them yet but I'll post a pic of them

                        I'm thinking it is a boat shoe. I need to replace my crappy Cole Haan shoes, hopefully drops around fall

                          an IH boat shoe?  Something about that doesn't sound right, I'd guess a special trench boot or moc boot.

                            A boat shoe would be cool but I think I have a good idea what it could be 😉

                                    What an awesome wedding. From the picture earlier, you two look very happy and pretty badass together. Plus, any woman that lets her groom rock boots during her wedding has gotta be a keeper. Well played, sir, well played.

                                    Fat dudes need good clothes too.
