The Oak Street Bootmakers × Billy Reid Trench Boot combines the classic silhouette of a heritage military officer's boot with the rugged charm of a gentleman's hunting boot. Made entirely in the USA from waxed full-grain roughout leather with a character that only improves with age—and soft but durable commando rubber soles—the result is something new yet familiar, with a timeless versatility suitable for wear with everything from denim to chinos to tailored trousers. But despite its ability to step into a casual role, this Trench Boot is made to the standard of the finest dress shoes with hand-lasted Goodyear Welt construction so that it can be resoled again and again and backed by Oak Street Bootmakers' Factory Guarantee.
Based on the WWI US Army M1917 Boot. True Goodyear Welt construction, hand-lasted with Barbour® Storm Welt. Calfskin vamp lining with a partially-structured toe. Antique brass eyelets and speedhooks with Cougar #50 rawhide laces. Leather pulls lined with Billy Reid's signature grosgrain ribbon. Fully recraftable. Handcrafted in the USA.
What started as a phone call turned into a shoe. Some things just make sense, and our collaboration with Oak Street Bootmakers represents a natural partnership. Two American brands that value quality, durability, and products that get better and better with wear. Based in Chicago, Oak Street Bootmakers’ founding mission is to preserve the tradition of American Bootmaking and the enduring styles of American men’s footwear, all made in the U.S.A. from the finest and most durable components available.100% LeatherTrue-to-Size: For an ideal fit, we suggest selecting your "true" size as measured on the Brannock Device or your typical size in dress shoes or other fine footwear. You should expect a somewhat snug fit that will become more personalized with regular wear as the leather stretches and conforms to your foot.
