    @SpaceGnome:

    So, just saw this today.  Sent an email to OSB to see what the deal is with a repair, but if all they are is glued, I could have it done locally.  Am I understanding this right, or

    just being a dick?  A welt that is glued, not stitched, decorative outer stitching that is not sewn through all the way?

    These are trail oxfords, about 2 or 3 years old. 
    Sorry about the rotated image.

    Received the repaired shoes back.  Got to say, they did not do a convincing job.  Missed one side where the fake welt was coming undone, and did a sloppy job on the obvious portion that needed repair (posted in the pic above.  I might get around to posting some pics at some point, and will edit this post with the if people think it would be beneficial.  At this point OSB are off my radar.

        Its kind of hard to see, as this is an iPhone pic, but the fake welt was re-glued, and it is not flush with the midsole or out sole.  Its just a poor attempt at re-gluing, and I could probably have done a better job at home or had it done locally.

              Im over it.  I hope that those who spent $$$ on the nicer boots OSB offers get better after sales service than this. In the big picture, this is a minor annoyance but its enough to make me reconsider doing business with them ever again.

                    I've been really diggin mine. I ordered 2 pair, these oxfords and a town&country chukka. They're comfortable and immediately wearable right out of the box. I was reading a few posts back and see an unsatisfied customer. My oxfords are sewn to the sole? The stitch is very visible on the sole. I also watched a vid that states every pair has leather completely around the bottom of the foot… Hope you reconsider

                      My trench boots after a resole.  Got these about a year ago, or longer I guess, and they came with the flat leather sole, which I was never wild about.  So even though they still had some life in them, I decided to get them resoled with Danite soles and heels. Work was done by OSB, and it seems very well done to me.

                                          Sorry .. the Oak Streets are 'stored' at the moment … currently, no time for dig out and shot them.

                                          The fitting is comfy and the workmanship flawless.
                                          But - naturally no comparison with my Wesco's or Vibergs.  🙂
