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

                            Why mine need replacing….

                            But this after 2 or 3 seasons serious abuse….

                              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.

                                      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.
