Nice. Just don't order the black model - I hear they turn brown rather quickly lol

lol

Those are cool, but why not just grab some Alden Indy's? Virtually the same. Maybe a bit more expensive.

I'm really feeling these boots... I saw these the other day and I've gone back to the site a few times to check them out. They're really testing my will. What do you know/think about the "Dainite" sole i haven't heard much about them. (from England apparently)

The RRL I have are basically the same design. They're great boots and very comfortable.

I have two pairs of boots with Dainite soles. They're made to keep the elements out of your soles and they're cleated. I haven't had a full winter with either pairs, but I walked through a lot of snow the other night with my Loake chukkas and they were great. Slid around much less than my leather soled boots. Also, you're supposed to be able to go a significant amount of time longer between resoles.

These boots remind me of my Hawthorn IRs, without the toe cap, but these are a lot dearer.

Dainite would be my sole of choice. More practical than leather, but less in-yer-face than vibram. I have only one pair with them, unfortunately.

 

[Stand By]

Very nice indeed! Not seen this company before.
I'd love a pair of roughout boots and had had my casual eye on a pair of these but by Buzz Ricksons for a while - but I'd unlike the Ricksons, these would seal it for me as they're Made In USA. As time goes by, this just gets more important to me and is increasingly something of a deal-breaker or maker if possible ... I've bookmarked the website. Thanks for posting, Bretron!

Alright, the order is, the shipping notice has been received, and I hope to have these in a few days.. I'm hoping I guessed right with the size. I went with a size 10 ( which is what I wear in Wolverine 1000K's)
If I get a chance I'll post up a few pictures before I hand them off to my wife to wrap and put under the Christmas tree.

Do you mean "Goodyear" welt?

 

[handymike]

Knowing Bret's taste in boot quality, and his locale... It wouldn't suprise me if he'd worked out a special deal.
;-)

 

[bretron]

Haha, Freudian slip. Yes Goodyear.

Those are cool, but why not just grab some Alden Indy's? Virtually the same. Maybe a bit more expensive.

Other than the last, the style of toe, the style of heel, the type and color of leather, the lacing, etc.

 

[EmergencyIan]

Those are beauties! I'd love to own a pair, but for $476, I'll most likely pass. Another reason for that is because I already own a pair of Corcoran WWII Roughout boots (reproduction), and they're really great. I've had them for 4 or 5 years.

[Boyo]

Ian, you are right at close to $500 these are a bit expensive, but you may have overlooked the free shipping

The Rough Outs turned up yesterday... I can happily report that I sized them right..I had the chance to spend a few quality minutes with them.. The build, the leather, the dainite sole appear top notch. Here's a few pics..I had to turn them over to "Santa" Until December 25th.

 

[bretron]

Boyo, proper!!! Congrats! So sizing down worked for you? I dunno what it is about this last but I can't seem to nail it

 

[winterland1]

I am not a rough leather boot guy but these look very nice. Congrats on a good fit.

 

[Boyo]

^^ yeah, I'm really happy with these, Oak Street is definitely a brand to keep your eye on. I'm looking forward to seeing how these look with a bit of use on em, I don't plan to baby them.
They fit just like my Wolverine 1000 mile boots (about a 1/2 size down)
