These beauties have been my trustful companions for the past 6 months and they have excelled in front of any obstacles or circumstances.

Leather

Seidel Light Brown Mustang
Break-In
Durability

Let me begin by saying that this leather is tough as a nail and that the break-in process was somehow brutal for me because I was used to regular/casual leather rather then a proper work leather like this one. I just need to say that if this pair were made with CXL, these boots would be destroyed at this point for how I used them but they still like new and with a lot of life toward the future.

Fit

Satisfied with the Fit

Elston last is definitely one of my favorites and agrees with my feet in almost anything.

Craftsmanship

Design
Construction
Finishing

Oak Street is definitely an underrated brand that should have more love. For me, they are like the American Viberg's. Made in the USA, hand lasted, great materials and craftsmanship and with a better price.

Sole & heel

Traction

This is a great outsole and didn't disappoint me in any area.

Vibram 430 Matching HeelWorn for less than a day, current heel

Excellent heel.

Final thoughts

Would Recommend
Good Value

There is not much to add other than if I need to choose just one pair of boots that can fit me for everything ( office, yardwork, leisure time, family time, even for the zombie apocalypse, etc..) these are easily my choice.
