Eh. Take the jump if you have the dough to splurge.

If not, get down, word on the street is quality does not equal pricepoint.

yeah, even looks pretty cheap in the photo

What looks cheap about them? Educate me.

Here they are in brown with more detailed photos.

The black ones are $300 after coupon.

I'm unsure how to describe it, but those black ones have the lustre of cheap, thin leather.

Yeah, I see what you mean. The texture is a little undesirable. Alden's version looks a lot better, but I think I prefer the flat sole of the OCs.

Anyone have experience w/ the brand narrative?

I would just get an English-made shoe from pediwear.co.uk or something. There doesn't seem to be anything special style-wise about the OC boots, and you can definitely find something better for a similar price.

They look cheap and are cheap. The material is going to be thinner/lighter than you're expecting. They don't age particularly well because of the cheap leather/suede they use. The construction isn't piss poor but is not very good considering other shoes in the $300-400 range. 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.
