the more i look at the Vibram Sole Trail Oxfords the more i want them both.

can someone else please put up some flicks of a broken in pair?

these are a problem in a good way

[nameness]

Interesting…  Vans & Nike run the same size for me (both +1/2).  Which models?

The Trail Oxford run TTS.

I love the mantra they have listed { Designed for Longevity } & the weather will be perfect for these in NY in six weeks if i have to wait that long . . . wonder if the talk of the collab will come to bear fruit before the end of this year or if i should just take the plunge now

[Geo]

plunge!!!

[madmonday]

damn you GEO, but you are right.

[Seul]

monday: get some lad!.. The more familymembers have and wear these, the better!..

[madmonday]

Oak Street Bootmakers seem reasonably enough priced, but to read GEO & seul in agreement is truly priceless 

[Geo]

Me and Seul ALWAYS agree - don't we Seul?

[Seul]

Always - this is very true.

[Geo]

y'see Monday . . . me and that lovely begian bloke are of one mind

shame on you to think otherwise . . .

@cm1:

I am starting to panic now that I am going to get hit with a big Customs charge.  Mine have been held in UK Customs since Thursday.  Ordered them direct from Oak St webshop.  Anyone else order to the UK have any Customs bill?

any news regarding the custom?

[Seul]

Ok so apparently:

• 9US = 43Euro
• 8.5US = 42€
• 8US = 41€

They use the Ralp Lauren sizechart. I changed my size from 9 to 8.5 despite them already having started on my shoe and just look at how kind they were about it:

Eli,
We'll take care of you!  We did start your shoes, but no worries - you want shoes that fit.  Email lauren@oakstreetbootmakers.com with your order #, and tell her you need to change the size.

She'll get the ball moving.

Thank you so much Eli!

I still don't buy that. I have NEVER been 43Euro in finnish or european made shoes/Boots. Always 42.

[Seul]

It doesn't matter - it's just a chart they use… If their 8.5s equal a Euro 42, that's what I need...

This is different than buying massproduced shoes... These are handmade from scratch...

[injunjack]

I can dig that Seul.

And as I think I said earlier, at least Vans say 8,5=42 and they are ½ size small… So buyer beware...

Ok the Red Wing boat shoes arrived and they fit slightly big… I know I really want the Navy Oxford's.  How much to get them in or to the UK?  I'm a 10 in Tricker's, Grenson and Red Wing Moc Toe.  Would 10's be the right size on the Oak st?

[nameness]

Email them directly and they can sort you out re: shipping & sizing.  George is extremely helpful.

[GuyH]

cheers, I will do.

edit:  Well email sent… hopefully it gets to George.

[Giles]

Seconded, George i a delight to work with…..
