The did the guys that run that sub delete? Doubtful, they seem pretty gleeful in exposing this sorta shit (though they did organize a group buy with dayton..)

More like dayton asked that poster to self-delete; give them time to fix problems that shouldnt' have been allowed to leave the factory in the first place.

My verdict:
Avoid Dayton. You will wait 4 months and be disappointed like so many others.

There really aren't a lot of good choices for good, low profile boots that are "cheap".

Cheap? Maybe look at the chippewa service boot? It's not as bulbous as red wing IR's or beckmans.

Going up there's custom whites semi-dress, which you can get with an unstructured toe like vibergs - about the same price as those oak streets depending on what combination you order.

This may be your best bet if you choose the right combination and can stand their high, high arch. Some whites's combinations can be ugly as fuck. I would like some, but I can't handle the high arch. They are chunky monkey's regardless, and better mad than anything I've mentioned so far.

Above that there's viberg's service (which I went with in the end), but that's 700+. Worth it? Nah. Wanted them though.

I am looking at the spanish brand Carmina. They have some shell and calfskin Jump boots that are not bulbous. About 500USD for the calf ones. Better made than those oakstreets undoubtedly.

Non-bulbous, good quality lace up ankle boots are a rarity.

This topic is done to death, and with good reason: It's what people want, but nobody has made a decent "affordable" (red wing heritageprice or less) offering.

Pic is a pair of whites semidress custom to emulate viberg. Wouldnve gone with this but those arches are too high for my feet. Price ranges to high 389 base and this make up was prolly 450. If it's Fire Season then any white's orders are gonna take a while. (8+++ weeks)
