@GrantStone Curious if there's a shell LWB in the pipeline for pre-order/release some time this year. Hoping to get into the brand after lurking on the thread for a while... Thanks!

I'm not too sure about this one quite yet but it is possible. Sorry I don't have any specifics yet!

Yes, B Grade update with quite a few new sizes.

And I just got my email and was going after Pebble Grain Ottawa, 8.5D---GONE! Oh well, now I can save for Bucks :)
Iwould've bought those too. Probably for the best as I have to drop my car off at the shop tomorrow (hoping it's not to expensive) then we leave for vacation.

Can anyone assist with sizing on the traveler? I'm a UK 9 in the larger carmina lasts (soller, Detroit). EEE width on Forest and Rain but still 9.

Alden Van was not great for me. 9.5D was to low in the instep and buckling around the waist. 10D was better but a hair loose in the heel. Might have been ok in hindsight. 10D on the Plaza with thin socks.

I have a pair of shell AE Randolphs in 10E, which are good but D would have been better. Also UK 9E on the C&J 325 and 341.

Any input would be appreciated. I have a high instep 10D/E brannock.

Edit: After satisfying myself that a 10D would probably be OK, I went to order the b stock travelers only to discover that they just sold. A sincere thank you to whomever saved me $160. ;) nonetheless, now that I am disappointed, I know that I actually wanted them so sizing feedback would still be most welcomed.

9.5 should work for you. Van fits me well everywhere but the instep, Traveler in same size is really good after a few wears.

Even though van in 9.5 was a bust for me? This was the unlined shell from BB.

Maybe try a 9.5E? I would also email Grant Stone as they know best.

I’ve found their extended widths make a big difference on instep.

Cognac Pebble Grain Ottawa B-grades. I still haven't figured out the flaw!
