Seul, what size do you wear in Clarks Desert Boots or Sperry Boat Shoes?
I'm deciding between 8 and 7.5 and wear 8s in those two.  I have a short/wide foot.

@Seul:

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!..

Haven't worn either one…

you supposed to have both Clarks Desert Boots or Sperry Boat Shoes before the oak streets. like Levis before you find IH. you jumped the cue here naughty

Read through the entire style forum thread and this one.  such a perfect 50/50 split down the middle on TTS vs size down .5 lol.
George told me they have new styles coming out in 5 weeks after I asked if it was possible to get the camp boot with a leather sole.

Trust me, size down at least a half size…

I could go down a whole size and still fit..

Sadly missed out on the Loden order… any word on some pictures to dry my eyes?

[Giles]

No, but they should be complete very soon….G

[kit99bar]

Waiting patiently for the winter collection!

[the-monkey]

Well, I really did not expect that they would break so fast, especially after I wore them not really that often. 
Anyone who maybe has the same problem? Should contact George?

[elclintor]

yes, definitely send him an email..

What's the deal on these?

@oakstbootmakers:

Alright men,
Here is a photo to show how the leather compares in color to our current navy and brown chromexcel.

I so excited to make these for you guys.  This Loden Green Chamois isn't a standard leather for Oak Street or for Horween - it's a special order that we've done just for the forum members.  I know you guys want something special and different from the usual offerings and the chamois is a perfect way to set these shoes apart.  Chamois is a neubuck, and for this run i've decided to oil it to make it a little darker and to strengthen it.  This is a leather that will look uneblievable with wear.  It'll scuff up and get a great rough track to it over time while still molding to your foot and being super soft.

This is my favorite Oak Street shoe already, and I think we're only going to make 19 pairs for you guys - because I'm gonna make a pair for myself 

Also - I'll personally lightly burnish each pair and box them up for you.  Can't wait to make these for you all, and start seeing the worn photos here in this thread
