Can anyone who's had experiencing with the OSB recrafting program share their experience as far as cost, turnaround time, and how they came out looking? My boots are in desperate need of a resole and to get the stitching fixed.

Anyone here do a custom order with OSB? Looking for references.

I want a Trench Oxford in black. My Red Wing Oxfords just don't fit and haven't molded to my feet anywhere near as well as my natural CXL OSB Trench Oxford.

Hey guys, I’m trying to unload a pair of Natural Trench Boots in size 11. They’ve had a Vibram lug half sole added. They’ve been worn all of maybe 6 times, but the last just doesn’t work for my feet. Willing to let go fairly cheap. PM me for pics if interested.

Anyone have multiple hand sewn shoes from OSB? I have a pair of Vibram trail oxfords from a few years ago that fit me well. I tried on some camp mocs in the same size recently and they seemed pretty snug, but I think it’s likely my trail oxfords softened and stretched over time. Do you take the same size in both?

For the Camp Mocs and Penny Loafers, I size down one full size. The shoes stretch and fit perfectly over time. I wear a size 9 in these. I wear a size 10 in OSB boots (and in general).

Could have used a nice brushing before posting these, but they don't see as much in the short Michigan Summer.

Compared my well-worn Nat CXL Trench Oxfords:

So, I finally received my custom black Trench Oxfords a few weeks ago, and they are wonderful. Very nice companion to the natural CXL. They look great, and are supremely comfortable. Pics, if I ever get around to it.

Anyone know how OSB CS is with response times? Inquiring about boots and haven’t hear back. Reached out via email and Instagram.
