Oak: The Frame of CivilizationProfessional arborist and award winning nature writer William Bryant Logan deftly relates the delightful history of the reciprocal relationship between humans and oak trees since time immemorial.

Professional arborist and award-winning nature writer William Bryant Logan deftly relates the delightful history of the reciprocal relationship between humans and oak trees since time immemorial. For centuries these supremely adaptable, generous trees have supported humankind in nearly every facet of life. From the ink of Bach's cantatas to the first boat to reach the New World, the wagon, the barrel, and the sword, oak trees have been a constant presence in our past. Yet we've largely forgotten the oak's role in civilization. With reverence, humor, and compassion, Logan awakens us to the vibrant presence of the oak throughout our history and in today's world.

Stylish, Comfortable, and Great for Everyday Wear
Size: 11, Color: Grey
The Marc Joseph New York Men’s Edison Street shoes are a standout — stylish enough for work or a night out, but comfortable enough for daily wear. The hands-free technology makes them easy to slip on and off without sacrificing fit or support. They have a polished, classic look that pairs well with both casual and dressier outfits, and the comfort level stayed high even after a full day on my feet. Good quality, flattering design, and a versatile choice if you want shoes that look sharp and feel great. Would recommend and buy again.

Just Slip On & Go
Size: 13, Color: Black/Black
These are honestly one of the easiest shoes I’ve owned. You just step in and go, no laces to deal with, but they still have that lace look which I like. I’ve had them for close to a year and they’ve held up well. Comfortable enough for everyday use. I liked them enough and got a few different versions of the same shoe. The elastic fit is what makes them stand out. If you want something simple, comfortable, and still a little dressy, these are solid.

Great shoe. Great style
Size: 9, Color: Olive
Beautiful shoe. Nice quality. Going to reorder in a Wide. Regular runs too narrow for my feet. Hope the Wide works.
