Lovely Pair! I first came across Oak Street while at The Windup Watch Fair in Chicago back in July of 2023. Horween Leather and Assembly in New York - my home state! A generous toe box and Dainite Sole, can't go wrong!

Elston Last - Oak Street Typically opts for a Wide Toe Box, Very Comfortable - even in Hot Weather where my feet would swell, making other shoes in my collection uncomfortable to wear over a long day.

More about this item

I personally wouldn't have gone with the term 'Oxford'. As I continue to grow and learn in my shoe collecting journey, I learned why Oxfords are Oxfords - their closed lacing system. 'Trench Derby' sounds cooler, haha. Anyway, these shoes strike a great balance between the presence and durability of boots, and the casual appearance of a pair of Derby's - the difference in weight between these and a regular pair of boots is also noticeable!
