Oak Street Bootmakers
Oak Street had a single pair of size 10 Trench Boots on their discount/sale page in late September, in a tannage called light brown “Seidel Mustang” leather. I wanted to join the Patina Thunderdome but didn’t have the budget for a new pair of boots so I grabbed the sale price pair in time to arrive by Oct 1. I didn’t know if I’d like Oak Street or the Mustang leather, but luckily I really enjoy the leather’s aniline finish and the look of the grain. Leather has a very stiff temper and break-in has been challenging but I really like the look. There is almost nothing online about Seidel Mustang so I bought these on faith that I would enjoy them and so far it’s worked out!
Phone call to the shop - Alex helped me pick a size 10 based on my fit in other brands and he was spot on. Fit is great!
Great experience. Alex at Oak Street spoke to me on the phone while packing my exact pair of boots into a box for shipping.
