Taking pictures of your boots in church?  For shame, Monday, for shame.  God wilst smite thee for thine lack of attention to the sermon.

God created cell phones and they were good.

He would know best of course but in every case I've heard including mine, the trench boots run true to size. That's the only ones I have experience with.. Hopefully ill have experience with the navy Oxford as well some day

Any one have these? reviews, thoughts?

[Nerkg]

I don't think there nearly as nice lookings as the navy oxfords smooth jawns

[tigerpac]

Got the navy oxfords last week - great construction, really beautiful stuff.

I think with George's help I got the sizing right, some growing pains with them though, some play in the heels and the front inside sticking really digs in, but they feel a little better with each wear so I'm hopeful they'll end up as comfy as they look!

Will take some pics and post up soon.

Oakstreet is coming out with the trench boot in shell cordovan. Insta purchase for me!!

[madmonday]

what's the appeal of shell cordovan for you?

imho it's a very dressy type of leather & really compliments certain kind of footwear.  will see how they pan out . . .

[Nerkg]

Basically will last forever. Love the rolls and patina it gets and I'm in the market for a shinny dress shoe that is recraftable.

[tigerpac]

Starting to break in nicely, more and more comfortable with every wear
