Oak Street Bootmakers
-
I don't just wear them - at work they're used as tools… Kicking palets into place, lifting up crates with me toes to put them onto empty containers, letting my collegues sniff the leather; and so on!..
But yah: it seems this is what they're made for... I ordered the blue'uns so I could wear them with me IH-702 and IH-801... Boots during winter, OSB otherwise... BOOM!.. Seems like the best decision since I chose to go IH only...

Yep - too big.
Mind you: I sized down to US8 (and even US7.5 in my next pair) for these… With the 8s I just put in an extra leather inlay sole and now they fit perfectly without socks... But I'm sure the 7.5s will be even better... In sneakers I'm normally US9... However: their US8s equal a EUR42... So yeah: look into the sizing chart a bit before ordering a pair, or buying one online!..

Just ordered a pair of beefroll laoafers. I wanted to order direct from OSB but i need them before 6 weeks(estimated wait time). Got them from end clothing, even with the discounts it was expensive. i feel like its definitely cheaper for uk shoppers to buy direct.

Since shining came up - I thought I'd give you guys who are interested in keeping the vibram sole looking new, a tip.
Use a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser on the edge of the sole - brings it back to it's beautiful off white color with just a little rub.
Also - Seul - I love how you can see the oil of the chromexcel coming through. You could even rub the scuffs with your finger and the oil will come through
