d4nim4lBased on the two other recent drops, I'd say this is TTS, but narrower (sleeker) than their Trench or Lakeshore, both of which fit me perfectly.
I would be all over this if I didn't already have one of their Trench Chukkas (also leather sole).

blouieThank you.
Regarding going up in length, I have a pair of casual Red Wing shoes, which I really like, but are too long (1/2 size at least over TTS). What that does for me is move the arch. Otherwise, I really like those shoes. The Rancourt Greenwood Bluchers are also quite narrow, but I simply wear thinner dress socks, and am able to wear them, knowing that they will stretch.
I know full well that not every last works with everyone's feet, and there is not always a good way around that. The OSB Elston last works really well for me, but is not a dress shoe.
Still, this new OSB last is a good move toward a more dressy shoe, and I'm sure that, like all my other OSB footwear, they will stretch. It's part of the process of owning good shoes. If they can eventually be offered with a wide width choice, I'm sure more even buyers would take this excellent opportunity.

Aaron_SHi! I can only speak to how I would approach this. It sounds like you're a true 11.5. The fact that you fit the strand well means you don't run wide? feedback on fit for these has been it runs TTS. All my AEs are are TTS (511 and 943B lasts) and I'm the same in these. Hope that helps.
