I'd say they fit quite similar. Take the same size in Oscar as you would in Simpson.

Stevent do you have a wideish foot?

I can wear a Simpson 9.5 and and Oscar 9.5 but I find my 9 Rain to be unbearable.

Slightly widish but it's generally accepted knowledge that Simpson is a narrow / low instep last while oscar is a normal width / instep last

I wear the same size in both. Obviously there are differences in how they feel, but the sizing is the same and I find them both comfortable enough.

I believe Oscar is slightly (just slightly) lower than Simpson in my opinion. But all that is quite irrelevant since this boot is derby style with open throat :)

Steve,

Did you say at some point that you were going to be stocking some new Carmina models soon? Can you say when that might be?
