Man I'm going crazy waiting for mine. It's been 15 weeks now. I was told 10-12 weeks. I calle 2 weeks ago and was told 2 more weeks. And still nothing. I didn't get anything exotic. Just black roughout with tan bull upper bounty hunter. Is everybody who placed an ordered back in November still waiting like I am?
My order from October took about 15 weeks. Something totally slammed them in addition to the usual Holiday vacations, but I'm not sure what.

Bingham, can you share the exact way you ordered the sole, midsole and heel on this boot? It's exactly what I want on my first pair.

Awesome all-around build man.

My understanding is that the half slip is simply an aesthetic choice in that it exposes a bit of leather on the sole.

Here are my boots w/ the half slip for reference:

I am still interested in hearing people's opinions on Burgundy CXL vs Brown CXL vs Natural CXL, but here's another question as I work out my specs:

Can those of you who have worn both the 55 (Semi-dress) Last and the 461 (sprung toe) Last comment on how they compare with regard to arch and foot support? I want the support, but I also like the sprung toe look, so want to make sure I would get the former with the latter.

Thanks.

Apologies for being late back to the party, the soles on the Oxfords are not the best for wear. I have worn mine virtually none stop for almost a year, and the pics show the results, they are without a doubt the greatest shoes I have ever owned though.

For the next two years I will be exclusively wearing my incoming Bounty Hunters for the HWBC, so my oxford are semi retired I guess.

I am curious, what sort of brown leather do you all think it is on these boots in the link:

(I am posting a link because the site won't let me save and repost the image.)

Doesn't look quite like any of the browns I have seen from White's. A real basic, old fashioned brown.
