Oak Street Bootmakers Trench Boot

Horween Natural Indigo Chromexcel Roughout

Me and these Oak Street Boots have seen a thing or two.

Hats off the nut job that came up with the idea to dip CXL in indigo. That person created a really fun experience for a fellow boot lover. The patina process has been fun! I think wearing them in the wet Pacific Northwest a lot accelerated the patina process. I think someone living in a drier climate might get higher contrast fades. The natural CXL color underneath is a great contrast to the dark Indio after it runs off. I love these boots. They’re less expensive than a pair of Aldens and have better construction but break in more easily and aren’t over glued like a pair of Grant Stones.

How I sized

Online Guide

Brannock Measurements

Oak Streets website said the boots ran true to size so I went with my normal size. I’m a brannock 10E but wear a Trubalance 10D and I like boots to fit a little snug. These fit perfectly.
