If you're looking for a well built heritage moc that is visibly handmade, these are your folks! Extremely well built, the leather sole is incredibly thick but somehow retains pretty great ground feel. Laces come uncut, which allows for cutting them to taste. The lacing on these is actually useful. I've had wraparound laced shoes before where the lacing was more or less for show, the way it's implemented on the Oneidas actually gives you a good bit of customization in fit. I bought mine to wear barefoot, and for that use case they took a little bit of breaking in. The heel felt a bit loose when I put them on the first few times, but a few weeks of walking helped shape the heel cup to my foot and with no socks there's no longer any heel slip. There are threads at seams that can initially create some rub points if wearing barefoot. Yesterday was a month of wearing them every day, and they are just now at a point with some assistance from me that they are a comfortable sockless wear. I oiled the threads at the heel seam and sole seam inside the shoe where my pinky toe sits, and I had to do some manual stretching in the pinky area to pull the width out enough to not rub the outside of my pinky toe while walking. My Brannock is 11.25L/11R and I sit right on the line between C and D. I sized down the recommended amount (one half size in length, same width) to 10.5D. Barefoot I think this is perfect. I will be buying another pair to wear with socks, and I think in length, half size down is still appropriate, there's still enough room that you could loosen laces and fill a little volume with a sock. If you are the least bit wide-footed though, or sensitive to a tight toe-box I would not hesitate to jump up a width which is what I will be doing for my with-socks pair for winter. The design is perfect, these wear well casually as a fill in for a boat shoe, but can also dress up to be a loafer substitute.
