      Here are my OSB Natural Rough-outs which arrived on Monday. Safe to say these beauties will be getting plenty of wear! Only one picture for upload - laptop shat itself for the other three…..

                  Ohighyo, they look sweet too mate. They darken nicely. It's natural CXL isn't it?

                        Thanks Scotty…very comfortable boots. Stiff, or course, but no pain whatsoever.

                            Plan on giving these lots of wear and will certainly oblige Scotty.

                                    It nice to see more pics of them Fergz. You know, I like the shape of them more seeing your pics. What size do you wear? Did you do the Brannock device method and run with that size?

                                      Will try post a few shots more later. I went 9.5US and they fit perfectly. Usually, with generic brand shoes, my size would be 9UK, 10US or 43EUR. OSB refer to the Brannock as the benchmark so I used the chart at the link below. Not to be too unscientific about it but I basically measured my foot with some tape and referred to the relevant sizing chart below and it worked out perfectly. I didn't allow for any margin of error. It was basically foot measurement in inches equalling what the brannock said. OSB recommend a snug fit but this is probably good sizing practice anyway. I don't have anything else to refer to Viberg/Alden/Red Wing wise as I'm popping a footwear cherry with the rough outs. Hope that helps….nothing worse than ordering boots or shoes online (and spending a good bit of lolly) to find they don't fit!
