Oak Street Bootmakers
These are my daily drivers for suburban dad life. Grocery stores, daycare drop off, dog walks... These are the slip on and go shoe of choice over the mild winter. They might get less use when summer hits and my feet need more air.
The leather has aged beautifully and taken on some great patina. It has stretched a bit, but in a comfortable way. I'll likely need to tighten the straps now that I'll be going stockless more often. No care other than an occasional brushing.
Literally nothing better. Tight heel, big toes, adjustable instep. One of my favorite lasts.
Simple construction done very well on a unique and exceptionally comfortable lasts.
Sole has great cushion and has conformed to my foot very well. Heel is wearing out a bit quicker than I like, but the resole will be easy.
You want these in your life. People have approached me in public just to say how comfy these look, and they are correct. Get a pair.
