Definitely not worth the retail price, especially since in the past year, the retail has jumped about $100. On sale at the $150-250 range it's not a terrible buy but still. When/if you buy them you'll understand that they look/feel kinda cheap.


That said, a lot of the OC shoes are really great styling wise. It's a shame there aren't more companies doing similar shoe shapes, colors, and textures with slightly better quality. Rachel Comey does black and brown shoes/boots that are very similar and are nicer than the OCs. However, the nice grey suedes (which i own), the navy suede boots, and some of the other colors are nice. I'm still in the market for a pair of the navy suede desert boots and the black canvas laceups if i can find them for below $200.

If you're just getting plain black or brown boots, you should be able to find that elsewhere though.
Word. I know I'm supposedly not posting for a while, but I've been looking for similar shoes and have found that English shoe makers do these well. Look at (in order of cheapest to nicest): Loake, Grenson, Tricker's, Paul Smith.

Those are all a lot different than what OC is doing for the most part for some of their shoes. OC is a much younger and less stuffy vibe. Not to say those brands don't make great shoes but not everyone is looking for that kinda stuff

One thing I noticed about OC shoes is that they're light as air. I don't know if the wing tip boots are, though.

Depends what your gonna wear them with. I'm assuming your just going to wear them casually, so they'll be fine with plain dark jeans (which I hope will be slim to skinny, as to not look like a bro.) I'm a Vans person though.

A messenger bag? What are you, a hipster. Anything else but a messenger bag. Preferebly a breifcase or a tote. Unless what you are doing requires a messenger bag (in which case, I'm a total asshole), don't get one.

Something about those Nudies make them look like women's jeans.

One could say it's the forearm sized leg opening.

The High Kai is one of Nudie's more female-oriented fits (along with Tight Long John and Super Slim Kim). I mean, technically, they're all unisex, but they're skinny as ****.

I wouldn't. You can find Park Avenues in better shape for that much on eBay. Just be patient.

thinking of picking up a pair of op strummers for summer, what do you think of the gold frame/olive lens?

 

[Illuminate07]

You can't go wrong with those, but a silver frame is more versatile imo
