Mine as well. I bought them barely used to see how a 10 would fit. Can’t wait to get some miles on them.

Does the 10 fit you well? Is it your Brannock size?
I have found that 1/2 down from my usual is darn near perfect for me. If I go with usual size, I can wear the prescribed orthotics that Podiatrist says I "should" wear, but I prefer boots with out them and what the heck, I'm 65 in a couple of weeks and so what if I have a missing ligament in one ankle and should wear the orthotics for "stability". After 15 years, I've learned how to stabilize myself without them.

Mine have become one of my favorite pair of boots lately, fit is just spot on and they are beginning to patina really nicely.

Yours look great @audog! and your saddle tan's are giving me the urge to buy another pair! keep sharing the progress on those!!

Haha that is a trick question. I prolly need a 9.5e but haven't gone thru the trial. the 10 d's give me the toe space I need and am happy. I have orthotics as well but don't need them in the GS, Vibergs (9.5) and barrie (9 d or e) lasts. I belive its best to strengthen the feet versus wearing them all the time. its a delicate balance I am sure the boots help give you the stability shoes don't. My feet are tricky!

Last night the Ottawas got rained on a fair bit. We took refuge in a scruffy Korean BBQ joint...

Mine are tricky as well, missing a ligament (blew it and it is GONE according to the MRI's). Podiatrist said surgery was a possibility, but at my age at the time he "didn't advise it as it probably wouldn't heal correctly", so prescribed orthotics to keep my foot in proper geometry. Boots do help a bunch with ankle support, and the orthotics cause conflicts with arch support in some footwear, so I try to avoid them if I can. Some boots (Alden TB last) really are more comfy with them in. More info than anyone here ever wanted to know. Have a great evening.

Happy start to Autumn! Rain in forecast for this morning, then getting colder with highs next week expected to be 20-30 degrees (F) less than this week. Pebble grain Ottawa for the possible rain. Dog likes them so much he drools on the floor

Are you taking pre-orders for Ivory Suede Ottawa boots?? If so, I will take an 8.5D as I have found that 8.5 in Ottawa fits fine and I don't have to wear the orthotics

More so just wondering if there is enough interest

I got my two new pairs of Grant Stone boots and am generally quite pleased with them. My Castagno boots are comjng along nicely. The last is truly a comfortable, incorporating solid orthopedic principles, as one would expect given the experience of the team.

My question, though, is should the following little hole prompt a replacement? (I have not even tried on the boots.) I have seen a similar hole on Dayton boots. I understand it to be a hole used to guide the stitching of the uppers, rather than an errant needle hole from the stitching process itself.

So awesome. Korean BBQ is the best! Those Ottawas look really rich by the way

That is correct, the quarters were just attached and stitched a touch too far back. If you would like to exchange them, please let us know.
