oak street bootmakers trail oxford
i hate the internet. it’s an enabler for someone like me. earlier today i was going through some of my favorite tumblrs when a picture of some beat-to-hell oak street bootmaker trail oxfords popped up. they looked fantastic. i went to oak street’s website to order some, but found out they were backordered 6 weeks (who has that kind of time?). luckily i remembered a friend of mine told me imogene + willie just started carrying the trail oxford. since i’m a 5 minute drive from i + w, i figured i might need to go check them out in person. the plan was to try them on now and purchase them later, but they were too comfortable. i bought them on the spot. i guess i’m a sucker for horween chromexel leather and a vibram sole.
sizing tip: go a half size down.
