Oak Street Bootmakers

[Giles]

@derivative666:

Whoever obtains these are a lucky bunch.

Therein lies the rub, I think I have 2-3 times as much interest as I can get made.  There will be a considerable grovel being performed in a general Chicagoan direction later today…..

beautiful..

[wunnaz]

Those are really awesome boots…!!! Hope I can reach the price.

Woowzers, great boot. The last the oakies dudes use for this boot is great right.out the gate so break in shouldn't be so hard. Not crazy bout danty soles but that's just cause they remind me of those shoes for plugging holes in your lawn

[Chris]

Yeah, they do, don't they?  Not the greatest traction in wet conditions, either.

Hey Giles, maybe while you're groveling for more in this version, you can make some plans for the next edition- some shade of brown, single midsole, commando sole, and maybe a toe cap. I'd be all over those.

Grovel mode activated….But, in short term I need to do more of this version.  But I-hear-you mode set to standby

Oak street will do any custom order you want, single mto pairs

That's not what they told me…

[madmonday]

i heard the same nerkg from them a little while back . . . .

[Nerkg]

Well it cost more but you can call them anytime, I did it last year, they are highly available, when I was gonna do it, I didn't end up doing it cause I ended up having no money, but it was gonna be nat cxl , true double mid sole, none of that 1 thick 1 thin mid. And a pull tab. Quoted 515 I think at that time

[mclaincausey]

On 8/16 that wasn't the case, at least according to Tony Pace.

Oh wow, must have changed policy or they were busy. I talked to multiple people including tony

[mclaincausey]

I had a super simple request, stock mock with a crepe sole and no dice.

[Nerkg]

Prob because they don't mess with no crepe sole

[mclaincausey]

Yeah they do. But the message was a general "we have too much going on to do one-offs."

no fit pic G-San?

[Giles]

They are Haraki's size, so I did not think I would be able to get them on.  But since you asked and in the interests of "art", I squeezed into them…...

[Scottystyles]

Wow! Nice! Are they going to be made on the Elston last? And is the version made on the Elston last? Excuse me if it's been written somewhere before..

[Scottystyles]

The version in the pic I mean to say. Is that built on an Elston?
