Little wide in ball, comfortable in heel, short on length. Used inside, on concrete. Everyday office wear. Minimal break in effort. Will attempt to add a little more toe bump with some stretching and application of a weakened alcohol to open up the leather in this section

These shoes are amazing. Very good build quality and style. I would definitely buy again. Little Bit of space in the toe box. They are about a half size big on me which is fine because I usually put a very thin Dr Scholes standard cushion insert in my shoes. With the insert, they are perfect.

I own the Oak Street Bootmakers Cap-Toe Trench Boot in Nemesi Cotto, as well as Black Chromexcel. I own the Trench Boot in Limited Release Indigo Roughout CXL.

I was so pleased when I found that the Oak Street Bootmakers fit my feet and orthotics, that I have since purchased a total of three pairs. First, I recommend that the boots are purchased on sale, because there will most likely be some QC issues (loose threads, deep cuts or nicks, evidence of previous light wear). I learned that they only craft one size 7 in the Limited Releases so, if you like something then, go ahead and buy it at regular price or keep watching the website to try to catch it before your size 7 pair is sold. The boots are comfortable right out of the box or require very little break-in. It was recommended that I first break-in the boots without inserting my orthotics so that the leather forms to my feet. I wear a pair of Travel Sox and a pair of CHUPs, and have experienced only minor discomfort of walking on a hard surface, during the break in process. Other than that, I am so looking forward to the new Limited Releases to find my next pair of Oak Street Boots.

Break in was easy. The elston last on Oakstreet is my favorite. True to size and leaves a good amount of room in the toe box.

I was worried about ordering TTS since 99% of my boots are ½ size down, but TTS was good advice. The last is just snug at that size, the toe box is quite round (more Iron Ranger than Parkhurst/Grant Stone/Alden) and has room to wiggle my toes. Quite light, I guess due to the leather sole, which is oiled. On first wear, a little firm underfoot with ok but not spectacular shock absorption. Was it worth $400 plus? The jury’s out but at $300 Black Friday price, yeah definitely.

Cap-Toe Trench Boot NATURAL CHROMEXCEL Elston Last

I am very impresed with the construction of these boots. They are beautifully crafted, and the natural CMX is just a patina machine. I went with the recommendation from OSB, and got a pair True to Size. I found a prestine pair on Ebay in 8.5, which is half size up from muy other Goodyear Welt boots, so I pulled the trigger. I found the Elston last really comfortable. My ankle and heel feel very well supported and the toe box is roomy. The volume of my right foot always gives me some trouble, and on these boots it is no exception. For some reason I feel the top of he captoe pushing down my toes, the length si perfect, I just feel this preasure in my right foot #myweirdfootshape. I am hoping they CMX stretches a bit on the sides. Just by using thinner socks is enough to enjoy them all day long. One minor issue though was in the footbed of both boots. They just came loose enough that I can take them out as if they were removable, which they are not. Not a big deal. The laces are long and I love the quality and thickness they are made in, just gorgeous. I really like my boots, and I am looking forward to get a beautiful patina on them.
