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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
Yeah, the right wasn't really a problem but on the left the stitching on the insole was digging in to my heel.

Just got my trail oxfords back from reconditioning it took less than 2 weeks. I had crepe soles put on them.

Crepe is really comfy to walk on but,
man do they get dirty as fuck."Obstacles are stepping-stones that guide us to our goals"

It's like a pair of Clark desert treks. The gumsole is great, but its a magnet for dirt
you can say that again
Crepe is really comfy to walk on
and that again too!

I don't think they look bad dirty.
