ilumoMy first OSB pair is just leather soles, but I have to say their leather soles don't seem as durable as others I have, as it seems to get more holes and wear than others.. Check this out for a review on what I mean: http://notesanderrata.com/home/2013/12/followup-review-oak-street-bootmakers-trench-boots
For this reason I am going for the dainite, even though I spend most of my time in the office, just a night out I end up on some rough concrete or walking over tiny rocks on pavement and it seems to be enough to wear down the sole.

jerrylinWish I had seen that sooner! Hopefully the California climate will be less conducive to pitting and wear.

jerrylinyeap. I ended up going with my original decision of the dainite. I already have some W1k's and a few AE boots that are all leather, so I figured I could do a little rubber this time around. And the dainite looks pretty dressy for rubber, and not like those commando soles, which also helped sway me in that direction.

jerrylinI am surprised you find that the leather soles on your Oak Street Boots don't seem durable. I walk my dogs four miles a day on local, paved roads. I have been doing so while wearing my Oak Street Boots the last fourteen months. The soles on the boots show little wear.

SeamusI posted a pic of my sole further back in the thread, my OSB are only about 2-3 months old and I don't wear them every day. I'm in LA where we don't get much harsh weather, and still, lots of pitting in my soles. I haven't worn them out, mind you, just the rate they wear down is much faster than my AE Daltons, Wolverines, or even custom made shoes with JR leather soles. The situation is the exact same as the link I posted.
