The arrival of autumn means it’s time to invest in a seasonally appropriate wardrobe to handle the challenges of colder and wetter weather. One essential item on any self-respecting gentleman’s checklist is a pair of durable and comfortable boots to see them through the winter, and the Oak Street Bootmakers have stepped up with their latest release, the Trail Crazy Horse Cap-Toe Lakeshore Boot.
Oak Street Bootmakers have been handcrafting their footwear and accessories since 2010, blending Goodyear Welts with hand-stitched construction methods with the most durable materials in the industry. The family-run business has established a proud legacy over generations and building on the reputation of Founder and Design Director George Vlagos.
The Trail Crazy Horse Lakeshore Boot delivers high-quality footwear that uses a hand-lasted Goodyear Welt construction allowing for multiple resoling without damage to the upper leather. This dedication to hand-crafting continues throughout the build, with a hand-burnished toe and heel complemented by a stacked leather heel and studded sole.
Oak Street Bootmakers’ commitment to the best possible materials continues with the full calfskin lining combined with tone-on-tone stitching, finished with antique brass eyelets and speedhooks. The result is an eminently stylish boot available in suitably autumnal tanned leather complete with a distressed and worn-in look. The sleek precision of the boot’s design makes it suitable for many occasions, whether you’re heading out to work or relaxing in a bar in the evening.
