Oak Street Bootmakers Lakeshore Jump Boot

Badalassi Carlo Garret Cotto

Pulling the final shot with the best part of lacing up. The leather drip tray handle was my first leather working experience around 12 years ago. I have these boots and the Patina Thunderdome to thank for my new passion in this craft, from the Vachetta W&C portafilter handle to fully carving out lasts and creating my own shoes! It's been a fulfilling adventure these last 6 months, and I look forward to many more years in these boots!

Why I own this

Limited Release

These went on sale for Memorial Day. I then waited for October 1st to begin wearing them so that I could participate in the Stichdown Patina Thunderdome. They were so excited to come out of their shoe bags when the time arrived!

How I sized

Lakeshore Last: 7.5DUS Men's Brannock: 8D

Previously, I'd purchased Oak Street's Trench Oxfords in size 8 (Elston Last). They were too roomy in every way, so I was ecstatic to snag some 7.5s, which rarely seem to be included in Oak Streets Limited Editions. I was told the Lakeshore was narrower than the Elston last but they fit perfectly.
