Since our founding in 2010, our footwear and accessories have showcased classic American styles, all traditionally-crafted using the finest domestic and international materials available from the world's most trusted suppliers. All of our footwear is fully recraftable and backed by our Factory Guarantee. The son of a cobbler, Oak Street Bootmakers Founder and Design Director George Vlagos apprenticed at his father’s shop. From his father, George learned how shoes are made—and how they used to be made. Today, George designs footwear inspired by the most iconic American styles of the last 100 years. Each style showcases the best of traditional American craftsmanship. Despite our penchant for quality, we aim to make our boots and shoes available to as many people as possible, with prices that reflect the quality of the materials and the skill and experience of well-seasoned shoemakers. All of our footwear is fully recraftable, meaning it can be re-lasted and re-soled. With proper care and maintenance, our footwear will last not years, but decades. And every pair is fully-backed by our Factory Guarantee.
