      I've been really diggin mine. I ordered 2 pair, these oxfords and a town&country chukka. They're comfortable and immediately wearable right out of the box. I was reading a few posts back and see an unsatisfied customer. My oxfords are sewn to the sole? The stitch is very visible on the sole. I also watched a vid that states every pair has leather completely around the bottom of the foot… Hope you reconsider

        My trench boots after a resole.  Got these about a year ago, or longer I guess, and they came with the flat leather sole, which I was never wild about.  So even though they still had some life in them, I decided to get them resoled with Danite soles and heels. Work was done by OSB, and it seems very well done to me.

                            Sorry .. the Oak Streets are 'stored' at the moment … currently, no time for dig out and shot them.

                            The fitting is comfy and the workmanship flawless.

                                Bought the natty trench boots on a Dainite sole recently, haven't worn them too much yet but they were very comfy from the get go. Went TTS and fit is spot on for me. Couldn't be happier.

                                  How's the sizing of the lovely trench boot e.g. compared to Red Wing?

                                    I only have the 3140 Chukka so can't generalize but I think the trench boots are very much the same size as them. I have a US13 in both and the only difference in fit I can feel is a bit more width in the toe box. Wore them today again, jeans are 666s 🙂

                                      Thanks, Jii! I wear a US11 in the Chukkas and 10,5 in almost every other RW. Am pending between both sizes…

                                        Well I like to wear thick socks and couldn't go any smaller in the OSBs if that's helpful. Probably couldn't comfortably use the same socks in the chukkas so I'd say the size difference is very very small. With this in mind I'd take the same size as the chukkas. Still havent worn my trench boots more than 15 times so probably haven't stretched out to their final size, but I did walk 6 km in them the first time I wore them without any trouble. Hope this helps!
