Hey Mossman - we actually stopped putting that piece of leather on the under side of the camp soles for that reason. That piece of leather just can't stay on the underside of the sole for a multitude of reasons - humidity, wet weather, etc. I actually wanted it there purely for aesthetic reason, because when it comes off it doesn't affect the shoe in any way. However, i quickly realized that everyone wanted that piece to stay on! So we did away with it! Now it's much improved, we have a built in 'logo' into the bottom of the sole rather than the strip of leather

Alright, if you're gonna twist my arm
I'm planning on offering them in brown and black - and I'm actually working on developing a new brown leather with Horween. I'm also considering using a heavy oak leather sole - so there would be the option of vibram or leather

For the foreseeable future narrow and wide widths will be pre-order only (just shoot as an email and we'll craft it for you). In terms of inventory, it gets pretty intense when you keep all of that in stock. Our inventory is pretty wild already - can't imagine having widths in all sizes across the board...not yet at least =)

Thank you for the order - and enjoy the shoes!

Happy to hear you like the natural - it's so awesome =) natural vibram trail oxford is selling like gangbusters at Independence in Chicago. And of course, the beefroll like yours is a staple!
Keep posted here - and we always tip off the mailing list when something new is out (so they can be picked up before sizes sell out). Also, we don't tweet a ton, but if you're on twitter, follow us there @oakstbootmakers
Thanks sharkminusbear!
we post about new

Oh - iluvatar - I was in the shop when there was a call for those! Must have been you! The natural vibram trail oxfords moved FAST - we're trying to get them in stock, for sizes that are gone and are pre-saleing when needed. Call if you guys want us to check your size for availability
Independence doesn't stock 6.5. I know that the Oak Street website has some 7s available right now - however, the small sizes always go fast, so pre-ordering if often needed
As for widths - C,E, EE, EEE, etc, we do them every day! Custom widths are a special order - no extra cost, but aren't returnable because they are custom made for you. A lot of people order normal D width to figure out what size has the best legth, then they order the custom width. It's always an option!
