Ready To Wear
With the boots being made in Chicago by Oak Street Boots and made with leather tanned and in Chicago. I thought what a perfect company to start my boot journey being from the Chicago area. I wore these boots every day from the first week of November until the first week of April. These boots have seen -25 degrees in the streets of Chicago during winter. They have also seen 14+ hour days at work working production scheduling. Countless rounds of disc golf. They also went through doctor’s appointments and surgery rooms when my wife broke her ankle. They saw the valentines date night as she was in her own boot. These boots were there when I help my dad do an engine and transmission swap on an old 1959 Chevy wagon. The one thing that kept going through my mind with the boots was “a mile in my shoes”. These boots now tell the story of that time I walked into a knee high creek to get some poor kids disc. The 5 mile hike to our local town Ski Jump in the snow. I did not want to baby these boots or beat the snot out of them. Rather I wanted these boots to reflect my life and the stories I made in the. Now that chapter one is done the story is just starting for these boots.
