Durp. Casual leather streets confusing me. I'm really liking both the brown kudu and the navy cxl options on the Oak Street. Might need to pick up one or the other.
I really like the Academy in natural excel. May consider puchasing when the price goes down. The navy Oak Street would look much better if it had the black Dainite. Perhaps the red one will grow on me when I see them in person.
Their choices on what gets piping is interesting. Notice they included it on the Academy, but they've taken it off the Oak Street. I'm guessing because the Academy is considered a dress shoe, it got the piping. The new Boones also have removed the piping (but you can buy a few of the old ones on Ebay still). I'm trying not to obsess over this detail, and my black Carlyle's look fine without the old piping. I guess I just don't understand why they thought it would make the shoes more appealing to the eye.
