Custom White's Boots ... Thoughts? - Page 72

the quality of materials in the Bakers shits on the Red Wings.  I like the RW's as well, but the moc toe looks funny to me from above.  

Just placed my order  after I got my sizing from Kyle:

Sooo, I'm new to this place and was hoping the local White's mavens could give me some clarity on the question of walkability for the various models. I mean distance; I do not own a car and so do a lot of perambulating about the bush. I need something tough, but also something that will not feel literally like walking on sunshine after 10 or 15 klicks on pavement and concrete. 

Opinions?

Thanks

These things are heavy. I definitely noticed when walking on hard surfaces, even with the vibram 700.

Oh, that was just on the buildaboot.com site. It always has a 2nd leather option even if you're not using it.

So my order has been shipped off to White's. Made a small modification on consulting with Kyle at Baker's. He confirmed that with a half sole (the commando half sole in this case) you'll have about 1/2" less at the heel because there's no sole in there, so I went back to the full heel height.

Now I just have to wait 8 weeks for my boots.
