                    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.
                    But - naturally no comparison with my Wesco's or Vibergs.  🙂

                        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.

                          Looking dope, Jii!

                          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!

                                            Has anyone else had problems with the dainite sole on the trench boot? After a week of wear the sole at the tip of the shoe has started to come away from the leather. Contacted OSB and was told to take the boots to a local repair shop for gluing … after 1 week ... Not sure about the quality of the single stitch down, seems very flimsy.
