    Custom White's Boots ... Thoughts?

    Sizing dilemmas be damned!!! All you swing last guys, I'm looking for some sizing help. I have a 10.5F smoke jumper and getting some pinky and #4 toe rub on one foot. I called Kyle and we settled on the swing last. Kyle suggested that I size down one width to a 10.5EE in the swing last. I also...

    Nicks Boots Ranger, walnut smooth 8" with plain cap toe, size 10.5EE

    I received these new in April 2015. Turns out the #3 toe won't work for my wide foot. These were sporadically worn in an office setting. I had the toe box stretched by Kyle at Baker Shoe, but no substantial change was noticed. Only other modification was that I cut the kiltie down to be more low...

    Nicks Boots

    I am about to pull the trigger on a pair Nicks. My build of the day is a walnut smooth toe vamp and upper, with rough out toe cap and heel counter. I am leaning towards the Ranger, but then was looking at the catalog last night and saw the Homesteader. The difference between the Honesteader and...

    Thanks Daizawaguy. That may help answer my question. I may have to switch leather combos, but I dig that look on the toe.

    Nicks Boots

    I saw on Nicks Instagram that they are now running at 6 weeks. Dare we get our hopes up?

    Custom White's Boots ... Thoughts?

    Back to boots question. I'm getting closer everyday to ordering a pair of boots (most likely Whites bounty hunter, but maybe some Nick's Rangers). I'm interested in getting distressed smooth rough out toe vamp with Bison upper. I want a toe cap and am contemplating getting Bison. I am not sure...

    Nicks Boots

    I emailed Nicks boots a few times and Gary at Nicks suggested I call. So I called Gary yesterday and spent 30 mins on the phone talking about different boot options. Here are some nuggets I gathered that I thought I would share. For fit, you send Nicks the fitting guide and they will send you...

    Custom White's Boots ... Thoughts?

    Talked with Brendan today from Baker/Drew's boots. Brandon is in charge of all the repair work done on boots at Baker. I'd originally requested a rebuild which would resize my Smokejumper to a 10 1/2 EEE. Rebuild would cost around $250. But Brendan suggested that all I needed was a new sole and...

    Custom White's Boots ... Thoughts?

    I am increasing the size by going up a width from 10.5EE to 10.5EEE. Sorry if I flubbed it, but I thought F=EEE.

    Custom White's Boots ... Thoughts?

    Then Kyle is getting different info. He said the LTT 4881 last is different than the plain toe last. The 4881 is wider. I'm so confused.

    Custom White's Boots ... Thoughts?

    Just got off the phone with Kyle. He is awesome. He gave me a "last" tutorial that I thought I'd share. I have some LTT Smoke Jumpers in 10.5EE. I feel like they are getting a little tight in the toe box. Kyle suggested I could have those reubuilt to a 10.5F that should alleviate some of that...

    Custom White's Boots ... Thoughts?

    I have emailed with Kyle several times about sizing. I have asked about doing an order and exchange for a pair of SDs. I was told that since the boots are custom made/made to order Bakers typically won't do exchanges. That's why I was looking for some off the shelf offerings for sizing. And $410...
