Oak Street Bootmakers Cap Toe Trench Boot in Natural
Oak Street Bootmakers Natural Cap Toe Trench Boot (size 13). USA. $426.
Purchase.
General
Very well made and true to length, however the boots are a bit wide. Made in the USA.
Upper
First read the Alden review above, since these boots are made with the same chromexcel leather and are thus a good example of the variation in color that is to be expected. Compared to the Aldens this pair of Oak Streets have a bit of a sickly hue, but they will both patina similarly, yielding to a golden hue in time. (Purely conjecture: The sickly color could be from the Chromexcel process that uses chrome salts to speed up the process, before a secondary process with natural tannins. Thus the leather has a “wet blue” phase, that since it’s never truly dyed, could be the cause of this almost blue/green tint.) Style wise the broguing is minimal, with a clean edge rather than Alden’s wavy half crescent edge, but I still find it unnecessary.
The Oak Street Trench Boot is very comfortable straight out of the box with a calfskin vamp lining (same as Red Wing Beckman and Wolverine 1000 Mile) and well-designed tongue that lays smooth across the top of my foot and ankle. The leather laces are the perfect length for wrapping around the top of the boot, which is both stylish and a good alternative for quick lacing without using hooks, which some people don’t like due to the increased cuff damage and tripping hazard.
Sole
The Oak Street Trench is a true goodyear welt, but they have yet to release their rubber Dainite soles in the cap toe, so these are a smooth, stacked leather, waterlock sole.
Bottom Line
Oak Street makes a really nice pair of boots with top notch craftsmanship, they’re just a little wide for my foot and I wish they offered Dainite soles in this Trench style.
El par que muestra es una preciosidad.
