My left insole cracked in half so I need to send them in. Already talked to them and of course they were great, just been lazy

I'm looking at their Natural Trench Boot, man they are sexy.

Can anyone help me in sizing on?

It says this "Our Goodyear Welted footwear runs very true-to-size. If you measure as a 9.5 on a Brannock device for example, we suggest you purchase a 9.5. We recommend a snug fit as the shoe will stretch to conform to your foot'

I have no idea what that means.

My Redwing boots fit perfect at an 11 but all my sneakers are 11.5

So would order an 11?

If its tts I would go 11.5

Go get yourself measured on a Braddock.  I have the Oxfords which I wear tts without socks.

Būm!  Gotta get me some osb

[madmonday]

glad to hear it sort of worked out D666. Hope the torn pair were just a fluke . . .

[zhivago]

Why mine need replacing….

But this after 2 or 3 seasons serious abuse….

[mclaincausey]

Is durability an issue with osb?  Second blowout I've seen. My old Minnetonkas never fell apart on me and I heaped abuse on them for years.

[Giles]

Not that I know of.  I am super hard on shoes/boots.  I have wide feet and a high instep, so I place a lot of strain on boat shoes where this happened, and all the boat shoes I have owned go in exactly the same spot, short of commissioning a pair of bespoke Russells, it is something I have to live with.  I have just ordered 2 more pairs of boats from OSB, I would not be doing that if I thought they were sub-par.

[mclaincausey]

OK thanks for the explanation.  They and Yuketen are on the radar and that would affect my decision.

And I know they made D666's blowout right by giving him a new pair.

[derivative666]

They were awesome. Big fan of OSB

My boat insoles slide forward, almost an inch on the left and maybe 1/4" on the right. I sent them back to OSB and replaced the insoles. Excellent customer service.
