Ok, I am one of the guys that voted for the Natty CXL but has yet to place an order. When it came time to actually pony up this much money for a boot that I am not able to try on (I live in Austin, TX, so there is nowhere near me to try them on), I got too nervous about sizing. Anyone else worried about this? If the boot doesn't fit, what do you guys think I could reasonably expect to sell them for (i.e. how much do you think I'd lose when flipping them)?

On the other hand, of course, I really, really love these boots....
You should be able to make close to if not the whole purchase price.

Thanks, man. I am an 11 or 11.5 in Red Wings, 11 in 1K mile, and 11.5 in OSB Trench. Just torn between 11 and 11.5...


Sounds like you'd be an 11. OSB Trench tend to run true to size, 1000 miles & RW 1/2 size down. Generally Vibergs are a 1/2 size down as well.

How do the OSB Trenches fit you? They are a pretty wide fitting boot. If the 11.5 Trench feels narrow to you, then and only then would I consider an 11.5 in the 2030, since the 2030 not as wide and pointier than the Trench. Otherwise, go with what others said, an 11.

Was really hoping I'd have some wiggle room with money when it came time to pull the trigger on these Cabourn's, but sadly I'll have to pass. Bummed :/

Huge thank you to everyone above for the sizing help...OSB trench in 11.5 is about right in width (definitely not too narrow), so it sounds like I'm a solid 11 in the 2030.

In summary: *******, I'm in!

Bam. These are going to be some epic makeups. What I love about this particular set is the variation in the makeups, from the very streetwear bison boot, to the very rugged Cabourn inspired makeup and the Blue collar shitkicker, to the sorta scoundrel gentleman look of the natural CXL. Let's get a few more in and blow the top off of this this.

If anyone ends up not loving their Cabourn or Natty CXL (though I'd probably see peace in the Middle East before that happens) and they order a size 8, I'll pay handsomely to take them off your hands in the future!
