Camp boots prove sturdy on the job site and the trail.

I wore these boots for six months on a flat roof job in the downtown district of a small city. The job was incredibly complex logistically, keeping the businesses open below while we fixed portions of the framing above. Stopping traffic, escorting old ladies to their hair appointments, trying to find parking for trailers when the yoga studio was in session, battling termites in the nail salon, keeping dust out of the restaurant, the stories from this job are many. I had to cover a lot of ground, running down below, up above, putting miles in each day. The lightness of the camp boots were welcome. They offered the traction I needed without the weight. The boots are beautiful, Oak Street has done a good job. I do wish they were taller, being designed more for hiking, the lack of shaft height means I get sawdust and debris down into the boots over the course of the day. We are wrapping up the roof job this month, as the dome comes to a close. These boots will always be tied to a this little season of life. I am grateful.
