Wow, I'll have to start saving up again.  Will the oxford's have more broguing details?  Any pictures in the works prior to release?

New Trench Boots, fresh from Context. Fit advice was perfect for me. TTS but fits roomy, like an Alden Trubalance. Love the leather laces. These are a home run in my book!

Hey guys! First post on here!

Ive been admiring Oak Street shoes for some time now, and have checked out and tired on the limited offerings at my local shop, Stuart & Wright in BK. Does anyone know of any other shops in NYC that carry them? I went over to Dunderdon and they didnt have a single pair (and were in the middle of a 50-70% off, everything must go sale, are they going out of business??) and Palmer Trading Co was also down to only a single pair of penny loafers. Trying to find a pair of Hunt Boots to try on, though I think I am pretty much set on the Trail Oxfords (either in brown or natural, I cant decide!). Being a Mainer myself, its great that I can support my state and look great doing it!

Thanks for the info! Ill check out Carters for sure! I wasnt aware they had opened a shop! I'm excited to check it out. 

I've seen some pics of other brands shoes in Natural CLX, and I love how it ages, I think I'll have to go with them! Unless I fall in love with the Hunt Boot.... So many shoes, so few dollars!

Hows the break-in on the Vibram soles on the Trail Oxfords? I tried on a pair at French Garment Cleaners, and the heel slipage was immense on a size 10 for me, but the salesmen there told me that they would stop slipping after the sole broke in. Any truth to this?

for the trail oxfords, stand on a brannock.  whatever number you see, go down half a size.  for instance, I measure right on the 10, so I went with 9.5 and the fit is spot on.  its a loafer/mocc, so its gonna have some heel slippage, but you shouldnt be sloppy
