      my TTS is 8E (with my right foot being 8.25E).  My Wabashas in 8E are a tiny bit too tight on my right foot.  Any chance the OSB fits slightly bigger than the Wabasha?

      10E in both, both perfect out of the box….

        They really do seem the same, but if you are thinking of buying the chromexcel it stretches pretty easily….

              Just got my Navy Oxfords :).

              My sizing advice:
              George, owner of OSB, recommends measuring your foot on an official brannock device and getting that size.  I did that and they fit with socks on.  If you want to wear with no socks, then size down 1/2.
              Brannock - between 8D and 8E (this may be important as I have slightly wide feet)
              Converse Chucks - 8
              Red Wings - 8
              Clarks Desert Boots - 8
              Sperry Boat Shoe - 8
              Nike Air Force Ones - 9

                Wearing them to work for the first time today.  Feels a bit cramped in the toe area; definitely need to stretch a bit to be more comfortable.  I'm very glad I did not size down on these (from my Brannock measured size).

                        I have the navy boat shoe and the navy trail oxford, beautiful good quality shoes, highly recommended and George the owner is a VERY helpful and friendly guy.

                          We do resole!  When it's time to resole them, send them back to us and we'll take care of you.  The fact that your shoes can be 'factory' resoled is definitely one of the perks of buying Oak Streets.  In the years to come, whenever your shoes need this service we will gladly care for them, and send them back to you good as new.

                          George, what is the cost or resoling/ re working a Trail Oxford with a Vibram Christie Sole or is this a gratis service? Thanks

                            There is a cost - just like Alden, Allen Edmonds, etc.  Shoot me an email and we'll take it from there!

                            Thanks man,

                                Not sure why this couldn't be answered publicly, but here is the answer I received from Tony Pace at OSB for those of you who are interested…

                                "Thanks for the email - we offer a complete refurbishment program for $92. The program consists of new soles, new insoles, new laces, re-lasting the shoe, etc. - basically everything necessary to get the shoes looking as good as new."

                                        Hope you guys like the new shoes.  This is the most exciting drop we've had.  we slid this waxed hunt boot in since we only have a few pairs  http://oakstreetbootmakers.com/footwear/waxed-loden-hunt-boot

                                        kit99bar - it's a single sole - so it's actually pretty sleek…that's my favorite of the batch  🙂
