True to our name, today we are featuring a solid pair of Boatshoes. You can never have too many pairs, and with so many options out there, we feel that it is a necessity to spread the word about options from companies both large and small. One of our favorites from a smaller company is the Brown Boat Shoe ($210) offered by Oak Street Bootmakers.
Although it’s offered in a sleek navy blue option, the versatility of the brown makes this shoe perfect for outfits that welcome boatshoes throughout the year. Made from brown Horween Chromexcel leather (it takes 28 days and 89 processes to get this leather “shoe ready”) and paired with a traditional deck sole, this aptly named shoe features hand-stitched moccasin construction and waxed stitching and the obligatory rawhide laces. In our opinion, the best part of all is that these shoes are handcrafted in the USA. We’re huge fans of anything that supports domestic manufacturing, and Oak Street Bootmakers is producing products that are a perfect example of why.
